FSX & FSX: Steam Edition ILS & Approaches Questions & Answers

Successful ILS approaches in FSX depend on more than selecting an approach in the flight planner. This hub explains how to confirm the correct frequency and front course, intercept the localiser at a sensible angle, remain below the glideslope, and use NAV, approach and autopilot modes in the proper sequence.

The Fly Away team’s tested answers diagnose failed localiser or glideslope capture, off-centre guidance, false or late interception, back-course errors and autopilot configuration mistakes. They also cover cases where airport scenery, magnetic variation or an outdated navigation database places the displayed runway and ILS beam out of alignment, helping distinguish procedural errors from simulator limitations.
