Very nice! Your tutorials might be one of the best ones I've seen online! You explain the essential in a way I can actually understand lol. Keep it up!
And it has voice. I did a tutorial myself with approach plates and highlighted illustrations and voice. This is one of the better ones because there are lots of tutorials where NO ONE TALKS! Those aren't tutorials.
For some reason, I enter in the ILS I want as per 4:14, but when I click route I don’t get activate as an option, it says “perf init” and the execute button is lit. I press that and the route shows up in my map, but the ILS icons don’t show up in my gauges and the plane doesn’t attempt to follow the glide slope or heading etc. any help would be awesome
Hi there, I know it’s a little late but I just bought the game and trying to learn a few things. So I might have a solution here, in this aircraft your map information mode has to be set to either map or approach mode for the ILS system to show up on your screen. After you get the purple diamonds on your screen hit loc when the horizontal Diamond reaches the middle and hit apr when the vertical diamond reaches the middle. I don’t know if that helps but it’s worth the shot!
@@steliosrepas2795 appreciate the reply mate. I managed to figure it out not long after this. I ended up making my own ILS instruction video as well haha
@@steliosrepas2795 not sure if this link will work. If it doesn’t, look up my other channel _gamerDB and the video is “how to use ILS as a beginner” just ignore my horrible landing, I’ve learnt a lot since then haha th-cam.com/video/Dgz5F1RGz1I/w-d-xo.html
Select approach on the flight director control panel when: CLEARED FOR THE APPROACH if being radar vectored (in real life). In this case for FS2020 and sometimes in real life, as soon as you are at the glide slope intercept altitude outside the FAF, that's a great time in the sim to switch to APPR mode. If you do it when you hit the glide slope and you're a second or two late, the AP will not capture the GS because AP's capture the glide slope when the airplane is below the glide slope flying into it, not from above. (Pro-Pilot Tip). Hope that helps.
@@hansluft779 Nav mode follows a localizer or VOR. The flight director will look for left or right guidance. APPR mode will follow the localizer and glide slope or glide path in a GPS approach. In real life it is possible to get a localizer only approach but the GS is out of service on the runway being used, but might appear to be working. You wouldn't want to follow it in that case so only NAV would be selected.
Hey hey man guess what! I actually left KLAX some 5 hours ago on my first "Cross the Pacific" on my Boeing 747 because I only got the Delux MSFS 2020 with all it's errors or bugs, but finally I got some update tonight before I took of from LAX. And so far everything has FINALLY gone all right. Anyway guess where I was actually heading? Yeah yeah I really picked the right UTube demonstraton on how to use the good ol' VOR settings in that old "Pelican" (aka the Jumbo of the Sky's) and yes my destination was RPLL and when I saw where you were also going I fell relieved man ;) Anyway Happy X-mas were ever you will be in the skies!
1 thing I keep struggeling with is that the atc is keeping me sometime's way to high for approaches. Sometimes it guides me perfect but other time it keeps me at 7000ft when 6 NM out... even had it clear me for ILS landing but said maintain 38.000 feet...? what (note that I set my flight plan in the menu)
I have no idea how to answer this question at this time as I have not tinkered with IFR flight plans yet so I am not sure if there is a bug going around :(
@@chrismacdonald.6295 Yeah I know but atc really helps me decending at the right time etc (if it does it correct) I dont know when to start the decend etc so
Nice video! But you can activate auto braking where it says "RTO, DISENGAGED, OFF, 1, 2, 3, MAX) choosing level 2 for ths runway I think is good. Also you could set air brakes
If you set auto break to 2 so u still need to take off auto throttle? What happens if you keep auto throttle and auto pilot on when landing, after the plane is already gliding down from approach mode and loc mode? Is it necessary to shut auto pilot and auto pilot? Just curious.
@@70axels70 yes, in the 747 I tried landing with auto throttle and once in land it goes to max. throttle, do better disengage it. But general autopilot is not needed, specially if you're gonna do an ILS approach
@@Javijimenezariza ok thanks, I recall landing this way once and when the wheels touched the ground my engines went to 100% and I died lol, I normally wait until about 1000feet then I shut auto throttle and auto pilot same time (not the fake in game AI but the auto pilot on the plane itself. Would I be able to land correctly only turning off the auto throttle but keeping autopilot on until even after touchdown or should I close that before as well?
Hi Decivye, your verbal instruction throughout your video is just great, and you obviously put in alot of research to gather your information. But in the video the cockpit is too dark to make out anything. Is there any way make it appear brighter? For example, in the 4:48 to 5:30 segment you are talking about the pink diamond and the white line, but the instrument panel you are talking about is too small and too dark to make out. Thanks!
Ive been having issues where the aircraft wont lower its altitude..... I set it to 4000 feet and it keep climbing even with the flaps on 25.... what am I doing wrong ? the approach is also on which makes no sense!
@@77Original its really hard to tell without me seeing the landing config. If you have discord you can join our server and post a screen shot of the issue there
I've done it but these FMCs do NOT work at all like they do in real life. It's very disappointing paying this much money for what is really a beta release that should have been delayed for release by about 6 months.
I had a problem with the ils on the 748 when I was doing a short flight from Heathrow to an airport in Germany (sorry I can’t remember which one) I programmed in the runway assigned by atc in the FMC and had selected ils etc, but I never got the little diamonds to appear on the screen it was weird so I had to fly it manually, never had the courage to do it again but this video is probably the best video I’ve seen for the 748 on MFS so thank you 😃
I press the localizer and even though I have a flight plan from the very beginning of my game, it doesn't disengage the manual heading and just keeps going to where I have it manually.
Dumb question but what do you mean by throttle idle, disconnect the auto throttle but how do u set it to idle, do you just cut down the engines to 0% manually?
There is a setting that lets you put your throttles on the idle position and when I said disengage auttothrotle I just mean turn it off because we were flying on it.
@@Decivye thanks :) flying now, I’ll test it out, currently following a pre flight plan, trying to figure the difference between flc to adjust my speed and hight as opposed to just using vertical speed button and the vertical speed control, guessing flc will adjust u based off your speed and the nob is more for aggressive climb or descent, following my mapped path with LNAV,
@@Decivye absolutely love this game, and I’m completely new at this but starting to develop a passion for airplanes :) btw love your videos, very well explained and easy to follow :) most explain too fast and go in detail beyond what I can follow lol.
Do you have to do any yoke inputs when landing? When i tried it the aircraft went just above the runway but didn't touch down. I might have missed something tho. Ty very much for the vid :)
No inputs the plane touched down on its own and autopilot disengaged when the wheels touch the runway. Make sure you idle the throttles before touching down as well to bleed off the airspeed :)
This does not work for me. After pressing Loc the plane tries to align with the runway but fails, when the diamond appears i press the approach button but nothing happens. It keeps holding altitude and flies over the runway.
i think u should first disconnect the autothrottle ,then disengage the autopilot to manually butter the landing by yourself the last 20+- seconds, shit was a hard landing bro
You don’t have to use FMC. I did an ILS approach on A320 and I used the world map to create my flight plan. The ILS worked fine - also for 747 approach do you engage Autopilot 2 or 3 for landing?
I tried landing over 10 times but I keep bouncing every time, how did you manage to land so smooth with 165 knots? Everything works, followed tutorial and I landed but until I manually decreased to 140 knots it wasn't smooth and for some reason with autothrottle ON it wont decrease speed below 160 knots during approach.
Yeah I had some issues with autothrottle as well. I am not doing anything special really all I do is turn off autothrottle at 50ft and idle the aircraft so that the speed can bleed. Its worth to mention that you should have flaps fully extended.
@@Decivye I had flaps on full, btw did you change payload weight? I am thinking maybe its that. Also do you use airspeed brakes together with normal brakes (they are numlock / bind) or just regular brakes
This video was fantastic however it would be good to note switching OFF autopilot near landing to be able to pull back and flair the aircraft for a smoother landing. Either way, fantastic video thank you!
Thank you for the feedback! Actually I did not turn off autopilot on purpose as I have no flight stick and its really hard to control the aircraft with my keyboard. Once I get a flight stick you should notice smoother landings :)
@@Decivye ah ok. makes sense. I play on a laptop and just use the laptop finger pad, and it was driving me crazy I couldn't figure how to zoom in. Thanks.
Can you do also a video for instructions when you abort the approach? I use the AP but sometimes it happens because ATC tell me to late to go down in altitude (don't know if a bug or real), so sometimes I'm too high and have to abort the landing via ATC also, after that I cannot find a way to reach again the approch via LNAV, they tell me the HDG when I request etc, but I don't know how to try again the same approach and landing via AP. LOC or APPR doens't work then. Thank you :) For example, I was doing the same, abort the approach, that tried to fly around the airport but LOC wasn't effective like here in your video, nothing happens.
@@Decivye thank you, exactly a simulation when you miss the landing or the altitude, you pass it and what to do next to land again. Via AP if possible 🙂 thanks!
Finally got my hands on FS2020 his past weekend. Really had to research how the systems work compared to FSX and this video is much help. New sub here, what are your thoughts on the ATC interactions. Kinda thrown off by the vectoring or the request vectors in real life.
Excellent ILS tutorial. Many thanks. Just one thing. Just think how much money you cost the company by not raising the landing gear on take-off. 🤔 Your bad!
Don’t let the plane land itself. Disengage A/P and Auto Throttle at around 200 feet. You can handle it.
Thank you for making this Video it helped me accomplish my first ILS Landing in MSFS
Very good, much clearer than most I’ve watched
Thank you glad I was able to help :)

When doing a few ILS landing I've tried to disengage the autopilot 500 above and it just won't let me so I'm panicking last minute
Takes practice, try not to panic reset and do a go around. Make sure your autopilot disengage is also bound to a key :)
At the 5 min point you switch to a view of the instruments that is dark DARK. How can anyone read anything on there?
