Don't mean to sound like one but here goes...

In FS9 I was used to being able to push the little "ILS" button with Nav1 set etc, and it would line itself up and I would do the rest.

But in FS10, it seems to be missing. Is it just a vaporized option, as having to be manual now, or is it still existant just under an alias Wink

And thanks ahead of time for answers!

Edit: I might have found it, is it perchance the Nav Hold Switch?

Sorry, one more Roll Eyes

I found the option easily and it works great, minus one thing. The second I turn autopilot on, it lines itself up, but it also wants to shoot either skyward, or plummit downwards. I have to trim like mad to get it level.

Does this have something to with having autopilot and altitude hold linked? Is there a way to bypass this?

not shure about the new question, but i have an update, i flew the A321, maby its diffrent with the 737, but right now i prefer 321, but Nav button in FS9 is equivilant to the LOC button in FSX, for ILS use the ILS button and APP button Grin

thats my final version Grin

Hm, not sure, but its happening in the Airbus as well. It seems to want to go to a set alt, so I let it, and it leveled off at like 5500. Didn't try the boeing. Also, I think the airbus has a problem, its heavy to control in the air (fine) but when I get to about 20 feet above the ground, it becomes incredibly responsive (bad).

Any input on this would help, meaning why it wants to go skyward or terrain...ward. Wink

Edit: It just happens on every plane. Heres my steps, whats wrong?

Find the freq through gps and have it enter into Nav1
Flick Nav1 on (not standby)
Turn autopilot on with damper, f/d, and APP switch.
Bout it... it lines itself up, but I can no longer control its altitude in the least?
