Hi I'm having an issue with the Thomas Ruth 340-600 which I just downloaded from here. I'm trying an ILS approach, and when I'm about to start the final descent the plane starts going wildly up and down, and I invariably crash? am I doing something wrong, or do I need to fix something? Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to Simviation juanvito

Is this the right aircraft?

Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Hey Juanvito,

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
I had to learn how to do an ILS landing (never done it before) before I could check the aircraft to see if it functioned properly Wink

No problems for me.....it seemed to work perfectly.
It flew itself right down with no bucking or bouncing.....

That's pretty much what I'm doing, but I still have problems Cry

Just to be clear, I haven't had any such problems with other aircraft.

This is step by step the way I did it and I had no problem

On final
Autopilot on
Autothrottle on
Alt. hold

1) Make sure GPS/NAV switch is in NAV pos. and ILS switch is lit.
2)Tune NAV1 radio to ILS freq.
3)Set runway course.
4)About 2000-2500 ft above ground level to intercept glide slope......when the glide
slope is intercepted, Alt. hold will disengage by itself to allow the plane to follow the slope.
5)Check gear, flaps, auto throttle set to final approach speed.
6)Fly straight into ILS feather and push the APR (approach hold) button.
7)Sit back and monitor......take over at decision height and land the plane.

If you're doing this and you still have problems........try redownload/reinstall Undecided

Hope this helps
Chuck

Thanks for the help! I tried a different route, and it went alright, so it might be the destination airport that is the problem. Has anyone had issues with the default RKSI (or I might fix it just by disabling turbulence/thermal effects, I dunno)
