even if its just a trial download it still needs a dvd drive?
But does fs2004 need dvd drive too?

[Scania]

It says at the top of the thread EGPF (Glasgow)

[iAdam]

Whoops didn't see that.

[iAdam]

Erm hang on, normal CD drive I think. It comes on four CDS (FS2004)

[iAdam]

Post some shots, forget what people say about grpahics it doesn't matter.

[Liberation]

FS2004 i would reccomend unless you have a very high spec PC :]

ILS stands for Istrument landing system and is used in IFR conditions, in an ILS landing there are two parts to it, the localizer and the glidescope.

We'll talk about the localizer first, the localizer is used to guide you onto the glidescope because the glidescope has no frequency of its own for you to use. ATC will give you a heading along with a set of clearances, you follow this heading as normal but also put it into course box on the autopilot, after this input has been given you then press the APP or APR button dependent on the aircraft, the aircraft will then guide itself onto the glidescope.

The glidescope is the part of the landing which guides you down to the runway, after you have intercepted the localizer this is what you will be descending with. doing this part correctly will give you a better chance of landing perfectly and safely. As you descend with the glidescope you have several points in which you have to make a decision. Point 1 is the place where you contact tower just as you intercept the glidescope, point 2 is just after that where you apply flaps, lower gear and decrease speed. Point 3 is at 200 feet above ground level where you decide whether to finish the landing or announce a go-around. If you finish the landing you need to turn all the autopilot off and land as you would normally.

Now we have discussed both parts of the ILS lets put it into a step-by-step procedure. I will use East midlands airport runway 9 and a learjet 45 doing circuits.

1)Tune East midlands ILS frequency (109.35)
2) Take-off procedures as normal and follow atc instructions.
3) I am told to intercept the ILS and turn to heading 125, at this point I input 125 into my course box and push the APR button.
4) The plane will then turn itself onto the glidescope.
5) I will then contact tower and lower flaps, lower gear and reduce my speed.
6) I then descend with the ILS.
7) At 500 feet I decide to continue landing and disengage ALL autopilot settings.
8) I commence flare for landing.
9) I come to a full stop on the runway.

I have completed a full ILS approach and can now taxi and shut down.

For any further information contact me by PM I will get back to you asap. This is my first guide so all comments are welcome.
