FSX - PMDG 777 ILS Autoland Tutorial

[@concorde9433]

Just a couple of tips: -FD should be always engaged for guidance in case of autopilot disconnect and/or go around -You don't need to disconnect the autothrottle, as the autothrottle idles itself at 17ft RA. If you want to disconnect it, use the side buttons on the throttle (you can make a key bind in the fmc) instead of the MCP for the autothrottle to re-engage after pressing TO/GA for go around

Also wing lights are not used for takeoff.

Thanks is auto flare something that you turn on yourself or is it an auto thing

[@wasg1019]

where do I enter the runway length? Where do I put the elevation? How can the aircraft know itself? Is it taht easy?

[@thomasmcallister1434]

hey there I was wondering, I was able to do the ILS approach but when am on final approach the autopilot disengages by itself and tells me on the display (no auto-land) do you know how to fix this? thanks

[@SecondPixelGaming]

Hmm, I've never had that issue, try posting your issue on the PMDG forums.

[@IulianSofronie]

It happens to me few times. Try to get the full landing config until 1.500 AGL from the init FMC. That means gear down, flaps 30 and speed for this flaps configuration. Then you will get LAND 3.

[@PramodRaiK]

I have faced the same issue until i realized Autoland will not happen unless you are fully configured for landing. Follow the checklist and it will happen. :)

[@markcomputertech7997]

When is the approach button needed then?

[@DominicanRat83]

Ok great thanks, i'm going to try it now. Will let you know how that goes

[@muontilikneihsiel3861]

could you please add some lights on using VNAV for autoland on ILS. And if possible please do make a video on approach and landing on airport with no ILS

[@SecondPixelGaming]

Great idea! I have been working on some videos you and my other viewers may like, so I hope to see your thoughts on them when I have them uploaded. If I still did not manage to create something you liked, please let me know so I can adjust my content so that it will fit your requests.

[@ktechtutorials8425]

Also, what scenery add-on(s) did you use for the airports.

[@SecondPixelGaming]

I didnt use any scenery addons, it was just the default airports. I do have some addons however that do make the airports look a little different. If you'd like the full list, lettme know.

[@Night12pl]

I'm sorry to bother, could you please let me know the full list of addons that you're using? Thanks!

[@SecondPixelGaming]

Not a problem! HD Airport Grahpics FTX Trees HD Active Sky Next GSX PMDG 777 REX TD4 -These are all of them that I can remember, I use P3D V3 now, so I have switched some of them up.

[@Night12pl]

Thanks! I'll definitely try them, they make the game look great from what I see in your videos.

[@Apex85]

What airline traffic addon did you use in this video?

[@SecondPixelGaming]

World Of A.I.

[@ktechtutorials8425]

Are you using any camera add-ons such as EZDOK Camera?

[@SecondPixelGaming]

No, not in this video, but now I use it.

[@DominicanRat83]

Hey man thanks for a great vid but i got a question...what exactly are stars? are these the intersections?

[@SecondPixelGaming]

+DominicanRat83 Glad you liked the video! Thank you so much! STARS are not intersections, they are a group of specific way points/VOR's that will set you up for an approach to an active runway. Often controllers will tell you to arrive via a certain STAR. This will make sure that you will follow the correct approach path with other traffic. They are most commonly used in the XXXXX# format, EX: KRANN2 - You need to make sure you have the correct charts with you for the approach you will be flying and the correct RWY ILS charts on hand. These will really help you hit the Glide Slope spot on at the right altitude and so on. I hope this helped you understand STARS a bit better, if you have any further questions, I am happy to answer!

[@muontilikneihsiel3861]

nice video tutorial

[@SecondPixelGaming]

Thanks so much for the positive feedback!

[@MithridatesOfficial]

No LNAV or VNAV?

[@cnabdrinmntiq6933]

Hi bro, I'm just curious did you go through Approach charts beforehand or just relied on Navigation Display info(I mean you just maintained 3000ft)? Because LOC/GS capture altitudes are different for each aerodrome. By the way great approach and landing.

[@SecondPixelGaming]

Sorry for this late response, I did use the ILS approach charts for this runway. It isn't completely necessary, but it can help you better catch the GS. In addition, it can also help create a better approach to the runway. Thanks for your positive feedback, I love to hear what my viewers think, Thanks so much!

[@RubenTheDark97One]

Fps with the FX 8370 ?

[@SecondPixelGaming]

+WowSoDoge Not the best on FSX, on any other game its great.

[@dalewong7643]

You don't need to take out the autothrottle. It idles itselves.

[@rosanam1n]

lol is it really that easy just pop in a co route and select your approach pretty much:D

[@markcomputertech7997]

You completely failed to let anyone know that you MUST press the LOC button on the MCP to lock onto the Localizer!! YOU ALSO MUST Press the APPR BUTTON BELOW THE LOC BUTTON to lock onto the GS and do an auto landing. It wont happen any other way! How Stupid!!! TO MISS THAT and not explain it!!
