Dude, I've been struggling to get myself lined up for approach on the appropriate runway (new player, circling the airports and making some of the worst landings) and this was sooooo helpful!!! Thank you!
After more than 400 crashes and watching your videos now i can confidently land any plane using ils.It was really frustrating when you fly for 1hour and when it comes to landing you crash the plane.😁No n1 was not the problem.the problem was heading lock.I should have turned it off and on airbus planes setting nav is a little bit more tricky. Thank you for your great videos again.
Oh my god, thank you so much, I tried so many times before I see your video. The first flight after seen your video I succeeded my landing. Subscribe !
Great video! Your other video on how to complete an ILS landing with a Boeing 737 worked perfectly. I almost have figured out how to land an Airbus with ILS, but it still seems that my plane is hitting the runway a little too fast and hard (despite having my speed setting around 150 and switching off autothrottle immediately at touchdown). More practice on an Airbus will be needed!
Hey man how do you align it so smooth my plane is always going stable but out of the blue it goes up the glideslope and then down and then up and then down
I see now, that's the heading and you set it to the course, why is that? I managed to land but without setting up the course nor the heading, since when I have the navigation hold switch on and the plane gets close to landing, it automatically disables the heading switch and lines up the plane with the runway. I'm a noob in this tho
Yes, you put the heading number into the course area on the aircraft, this is simply how it is - they're the same thing when it comes to ILS landings. You don't necessarily need it, however it makes it more accurate. Hope this helps!
Nice landing. Sometimes after installation the runway just goes usually to the right, and it’s impossible to center the plane, the gamepad doesn’t want to work well, and the autopilot is inaccurate. I solved this problem by playing power intensive games, and by completing quests. One if these quests is in Cod 4, by taking out the two choppers with the rockets. The rockers were hidden next to the bus. I needed 10 retries to complete the quest. After that, the runway in flight sim remained in the center, the autopilot became accurate, and the gamepad started working. The nanouvers were beautiful, the chance of crashing the plane was reduced to 0. I can even swim the plane on water like a boat, earlier it always caused a crash.
Thanks Jack I have this video bookmarked this is the one step that I missed because when I come into Salt Lake I keep boltering the runway. Instead of landing on the ground I overshoot and end up in the bushes.
Thanks for the tutorial. From your tutorials I've gotten ILS landing down pretty good with the built-in 737-800. I've started trying it with the built-in A321, trying to get the hang overall of the Airbus. I was trying to land at Sydney, Australia (YSSY), runway 34L, and for some reason it was not intercepting the glideslope at all, only the localizer. The diamond for the glideslope was just staying in the middle, even as I flew directly over the runway. It was working just fine for the Boeing 737-800, even on the same runway, is there some extra step I have to do for the Airbus that I don't for the Boeing?
I'm not sure for that exact example, have you watched both of my ILS tutorials for both Airbus and Boeing? Also try the written version at jfv.tv/flightpath
This doesnt work me. I have the ils frequency tuned in, the word LOC appears on the display but it doesnt follow the path down to the runway. it just stays at the altitude I set. the purple diamond moves to the bottom of the line.
@@manunathan12 You gotta check out the airport charts about the permitted altitude that VOR can catch your plane for instance Ataturk Airport needs the plane to be at the 3000ft when approach
Hi I have a question, how do you take off the a320, to what position do you set the flaps for take off, can you do a video how to take off. Also I have another question, can you tell me , when set the flaps while I'm reduced the speed, at what speed I nedd to set each position of flaps. Thanks
You can watch my How to Take-Off video for the 737, it'll be mostly the same. For the A320, Flaps 1 is good for take-off. In terms of flaps on landing, there is no set speed, as there are too many variables, but if you bring them out too early, the aircraft will sound a warning that you're too fast etc.
...I was flying FSX regularly a few years ago, then quit...now I want to get back into it and forgot a lot..is there any site someone can recommend for direct help on using FSX...thanks much
Hi jack. Tiny question, when u go to tjhe radio panel to set the ILS frequency on NAV1, u also click on the button CALL of the NAV1? Because it looked like you didint' and in my cas that is the only case for the plane line with the runway (if I do not click the CALL, the plane does not line up). Thanks a lot!
hey bud. i have just got back into fsx again recently. i have noticed that when ATC talks the sound of my engines dips down then goes back to normal when they have finished its pretty annoying, how do i fix this ? i dont remember it doing it when i used to run it ? thanks in advance
I entered the airport approach into the gps. When I activate the approach button the plane goes into a nose dive. How do I fix this? NVM you answered my question.
Thanks' Jack, I actually have been thinking on purchasing the Aerosoft A319. This really helped me get the idea to start learning this aircraft. Very cool!
Ah yes, good point. (Lol, I forgot that it must be freeware at first). Are you going to do any payware tutorials? or is your channel mainly for beginners?
The channel is mostly for beginners when it comes to tutorials. However, there's a very wide variety of content across the channel, this includes many pay-ware aircraft, including the Just Flight aircraft in this video.
Thanks bro....I have a question..In a free flight if suppose i am travelling from london to Rome, how do I set the gps as well as frequency to Rome so that i get the right direction to fly in an unknown space...Please help..Thanks
hi i dont know if you can diagnosis this but, i have been the ils for a while now but now everytime i turn on the nav and ils button. my aircraft turns away from the runways then tries to re-align then fails to and then it dives??? it never did this before but now it does???
I tried this method to land at JFK 4L. Thing is the runway is at the other side of the airport and the GPS doesn't align me to that runway. Do I have to manually align myself and turn around before activating approach?
You will have to do it manually (to get around to the otherside of the airport), but if you're using ATC, they will guide you round to the correct side to come in for an ILS (if that's what they said the approach is)
Great video could you please post approximate speeds (approach, ILS glide slope capture, landing etc) as I've never flown anything bigger than a Beechcraft 1900D. Thanks
thank you for the video! I have tried so many other videos out there but people were not doing it the correct way. looking at buying the aerosoft airbus pack and should I get the one with 4 planes or the one with 2 planes?
I'm really glad the video was helpful! Remember to press the like button and subscribe! For your question, it's simply a matter of preference, I've only got the A318/A319 pack that was given to me by FlightSim.Com. However, it's completely up to you dependent on what you'd prefer and how much money you're willing to spend.
Nobody seems to be able to tell me. But how do you get that zoomed out view on your cockpit? I have just purchased fsx steam edition and still tinkering views and doing my tutorial missions. But my cockpit on all planes is not zoomed out like this Ive got a 34inch ultrawide monitor too
Hey erm I did Gatwick to La Guardia and I click activate approach at about 10nm and then done the course before hand and the frequency before hand but didn’t switch until I activated approach. Then I click the GPS switch to Nav. Or the other way round. Then when I click the Approach Hold button. And then the plane didn’t line up with the runway I put in. And it landing on the like the terminals and the plane didn’t go full around the airport to land so Im confused This is what I did correct me if I am wrong: Gathered the Runway Name and frequency and Heading noted it down. I then done the flight. At about 16nm I done the frequency then done the course I didn’t switch the frequency to active yet. I also did the approach and loaded it. Then about 13 nm I then Activated Approach then I switches the frequency then I switched the Switch from GPS to NAV. Then when the diamond reached the middle I clicked the Approach hold button. Then I just decreased speed. Then I realised the plane wasn’t gonna go to the runway can you help me?
I'm flying a B1 Lancer, and i kept setting my ils approaches without using ils frequencies and headings, now I understand why my throttle automatically firewalled, just gotta leave it alone and manage my speed and altitude
Not sure what missions you mean in this video, I can't see any. Could you explain? Be sure to tune into the 5K Subscriber Live Stream w/ Giveaways @ 17:00 UTC, Sunday 23 July!
I have this issue, when I take off and fly my altitude ascends very slowly and ATC says I am like a couple 1,000 feet above my altitude even though I am really low, and yes my altimeter is correct. Please help me BTW I am using a Airbus A321
I think in this case it would be best if you could record the problem - showing ATC open with the message and what altitude you're flying at. Please upload the clip to a well-known cloud service and email me here - contact@jacksfsxvideos.com. Please also provide the exact aircraft you are flying.
It is slightly different as some controls are in different places and are labeled as different things. But on the whole, yes, the principle is the same. I first learnt with an Airbus and I just figured it out on a Boeing after a few minutes, so hopefully there shouldn't be any problems with it. Thanks for watching!
In the future, can you please make sure you reply to comments in the same thread for the same topic. In any case, that's actually not a mission, just a free flight :)
Question; I'm trying to follow the steps in this tutorial to make an ILS landing in the default A321 at Edinburgh, runway 240 (course 244, frequency 108.9MHz). I get vectored to about 15 miles east of the airport at 2100ft, activate the approach via GPS and autopilot turns me towards the glideslope. However when I activate the approach hold switch with the pink diamond right on the line, the plane dives towards the ground (ie crashes.) I've never managed to automatically intercept a glideslope. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong? Plane configuration at that point is 180kts, 15* flaps and gear down.
Thanks for providing all the information. I assume you're using ATC, have you been told to do an ILS approach? If so, are you pressing the Approach Hold button when they tell you to intercept the ILS? Also, at what point, or how close to the runway do you press the button?
+Jack's FSX Videos Thanks for replying! I pressed the Nav Hold (LOC button?) at about 6-8 miles from the runway, with the threshold / PAPI in sight, at 2100ft with both glideslope diamonds captured. I must have something wrong tho. One thought- although Altitude Hold was definitely OFF, the vertical speed control was still keyed in to -1800ft/m from my previous descent. Does this somehow override the approach?
I don't think you read my comment right. I was asking when do you engage the Approach Hold Switch? Also ensure the ILS switch and GPS switch is on before the Approach Hold switch goes on. Your vertical speed will not affect the ILS at all, as long as the Altitude Hold is off.
+Jack's FSX Videos Approach Hold switch was pressed when the pink diamond intersected the horizontal line. I've just tried again and I'm lined up beautifully but for some reason the plane won't descend down the horizontal component of the glideslope. Hmmmm
hello. i got a problem. i was flying from Gatwick to faro when i crashed my plane on landing. i did everything you said in the video like the gps and what to press. but for some reason i was to high and i crashed. i thought it was a "Autolanding" well clearly not.
I’m having a bit of trouble and I’m hoping someone can help me. I can never seem to get the speed right, I either come way too hot and end up bouncing or roll straight through the runway or I stall out before I get to the runway midair?! What speed should I be approaching at? Thanks in advance
I loaded in a freeware easyjet b737-700, followed the instructions to the point where I have to press on nav - and the diamond does not show up! But the ATC didn't say "Cleared to land", is that the problem? Lol there was just a line of 3 aircraft: The first one, the second one( both airbuses ) and me in my b737 XD
Well, this will help a lot, because landing an airbus is not easy as landing boeings, i don't know why, airbus feels very heavy and hard to fly it manual
hello and thanks. If you look at airbus landing videos on you tube, you will see that when auto pilot disconnected, you hear the disconnection sound and the master caution light flashes three times.
Sorry I thought you were talking about planes on FSX, yeah in real-life the caution lights will flash, but for this add-on and many others, it's simply not there - I think the Aerosoft one does it tho
Runway numbers are determined on the angle they are heading towards. For example, runway 09 has a heading of 90 degrees. Runway 12 has a heading of 120 degrees. Runway 28 has a heading of 280 degrees. Runway 36 has a heading of 360 or 000 degrees. And so on.
Decided to play fsx since my pc can't handle the 2020 version, i'm glad i found this channel
those poor passengers. They did not have their seatbelt sign on
Lol

hahaha
imagine they on ryanair with no seatbelt sign on

4 years later and same here
Thanks Captain, I am really learning a lot from you Sir. as opposed to others with their bombarding confusions.
I'm really glad you're finding my videos helpful! Thanks for your support and thanks for watching.
Glad to hear that! Thank you so much for watching!
That's mean to other people
What’s mean to who?
@@JacksFSVideos I think he thought you meant "it was good" that he had "difficulties in the beginning"
extremely perfect tutorial, my first safe and serious landing following your directions!
Glad it all worked! Thanks for watching :)
I know all this but I'm still watching them lol
My plane over flow the runway, then it goes in stall l quick go around full throttle then you hear that beautifull sound PULL UP PULL UP BOOOM
Same here
welcome to Lion Air
Are you sure you switched GPS to NAV and then used the APP switch?
After more than 400 crashes and watching your videos now i can confidently land any plane using ils.It was really frustrating when you fly for 1hour and when it comes to landing you crash the plane.😁No n1 was not the problem.the problem was heading lock.I should have turned it off and on airbus planes setting nav is a little bit more tricky.

@Uhhh wtf why l see these comments now? Yt didnt snowed me
Thanks for a clearer and slower explanation, not the usual rushed other utubers vids
Great tutorial, do you think it's possible you could make an ILS landing/approach tutorial but on the stock Boeing 737-800?
Thanks for the video request! Please send it in to - jacksfsxvideos.com/request.
Bill Nye Umm, it works the same way in B737 too, just landed to Oulu Runway 12 ILS using stock B737-800, thx to Jack for helping :)
Ready to die, it is slightly different, but yes, on the whole it's very similar. No problem! Thanks for watching :D
Jack's FSX Videos Mostly the buttons are just in different place
Yeah and that there's no ILS button, which seems to confuse some people
I just wish there was a way to manually load a flight plan into the GPS.
There is! You can watch my GPS tutorial on my channel :)
There is
Oh my god, thank you so much, I tried so many times before I see your video. The first flight after seen your video I succeeded my landing. Subscribe !
No one on UA-cam could have done that tutorial better. Well done and thanks for the help.

thank you very much mate. i ve been looking for the best ILS tutorial vids until i came across yours you nailed it.
Thanks!
@Jack's FS Videos
Hi there, I follow your instructions, but the diamond never reaches the line, it stays above it all the time. Any ideas?
Hey man how do you align it so smooth my plane is always going stable but out of the blue it goes up the glideslope and then down and then up and then down
Thank you very very Much.. You are so clear and easy in All Your Explanations!! Many thanks from Canada Captain!
Much Appreciated!!
It's great to hear the tutorial was so useful! Thanks for watching don't forget to subscribe :)
where is the course you need to set? at 3:58 you set the course but where did you get that info?
Please re-watch the video at 00:58, this will explain where I got the course figure from.
I see now, that's the heading and you set it to the course, why is that? I managed to land but without setting up the course nor the heading, since when I have the navigation hold switch on and the plane gets close to landing, it automatically disables the heading switch and lines up the plane with the runway.

Nice landing. Sometimes after installation the runway just goes usually to the right, and it’s impossible to center the plane, the gamepad doesn’t want to work well, and the autopilot is inaccurate. I solved this problem by playing power intensive games, and by completing quests. One if these quests is in Cod 4, by taking out the two choppers with the rockets. The rockers were hidden next to the bus. I needed 10 retries to complete the quest. After that, the runway in flight sim remained in the center, the autopilot became accurate, and the gamepad started working. The nanouvers were beautiful, the chance of crashing the plane was reduced to 0. I can even swim the plane on water like a boat, earlier it always caused a crash.
Is the course onmibearing selector used for the ils approach?
How to click ILS button on Boeing 734-800? I cannot see it on the autopilot panel. Thanks
Check the description for the Boeing version of this :)
Thanks Jack I have this video bookmarked this is the one step that I missed because when I come into Salt Lake I keep boltering the runway. Instead of landing on the ground I overshoot and end up in the bushes.
I'm glad the video helped you out! Thanks for watching!
Great. Im still learning on crj700. Can you lump all your landing vids in a playlist
I don't have a playlist for that, but I do for all of my tutorials :)
Thanks for the tutorial. From your tutorials I've gotten ILS landing down pretty good with the built-in 737-800. I've started trying it with the built-in A321, trying to get the hang overall of the Airbus. I was trying to land at Sydney, Australia (YSSY), runway 34L, and for some reason it was not intercepting the glideslope at all, only the localizer. The diamond for the glideslope was just staying in the middle, even as I flew directly over the runway.

What plains in fax have Autoland, can capture glide slope, not just capturing ils?
This doesnt work me. I have the ils frequency tuned in, the word LOC appears on the display but it doesnt follow the path down to the runway. it just stays at the altitude I set. the purple diamond moves to the bottom of the line.
Same
@@manunathan12 You gotta check out the airport charts about the permitted altitude that VOR can catch your plane for instance Ataturk Airport needs the plane to be at the 3000ft when approach
If what muhammet said is still not working for you, try going through this tutorial again using the written version at jfv.tv/flightpath
can you keep the autopilot on for the whole landing and do a full auto landing?
Yep, that's what this video's showing, how to land using ILS (which is autopilot) all the way down to the runway :)
But atc keeps giving me a heading that moves me far away from my course
Make sure you program your flight plan in the FSX interface for ATC to sync up with it
You gotta do it after it tela you to contact tower
You have to wait until they say "land straight in runway _______.
At 3:45 what key combination do you use to pull up that window?
Logan shift+2
what key strokes bring up com and also at time 4:35 to center with the diamond? great vid. you've helped a great deal; thanks.
Shift+2 for the radio stack and glad you've found it useful! Thanks for watching!
Why your 3d cabin isn't shaking during acceleration and breaking? Maybe some settings?
Well it shouldn't be doing any of that by default, unless you have a camera add-on?
Hi I have a question, how do you take off the a320, to what position do you set the flaps for take off, can you do a video how to take off. Also I have another question, can you tell me , when set the flaps while I'm reduced the speed, at what speed I nedd to set each position of flaps.

You can watch my How to Take-Off video for the 737, it'll be mostly the same. For the A320, Flaps 1 is good for take-off. In terms of flaps on landing, there is no set speed, as there are too many variables, but if you bring them out too early, the aircraft will sound a warning that you're too fast etc.

Any chance you could do some tutorials on the DC-10? I’ve been struggling with the autopilot for it
Hi Guys, just wondering how far out should I programme the ILS vectors??
Hi jack. Tiny question, when u go to tjhe radio panel to set the ILS frequency on NAV1, u also click on the button CALL of the NAV1? Because it looked like you didint' and in my cas that is the only case for the plane line with the runway (if I do not click the CALL, the plane does not line up). Thanks a lot!
I'm not sure what you mean by "call"?
@@JacksFSVideos Its the NAV1 button on the radio panel. I saw you just put on the frequency and nothing else. I had to press the button as well.
I'm not sure, it's been a while, try checking my other ILS video and my written version (links in the description)
hey bud. i have just got back into fsx again recently. i have noticed that when ATC talks the sound of my engines dips down then goes back to normal when they have finished its pretty annoying, how do i fix this ? i dont remember it doing it when i used to run it ? thanks in advance
My plane doesn’t line up could u tell me what I’m doing wrong
Make sure you are on GPS and not NAV for lining up. Only switch to NAV for landing.
megabyte112 Thanks
idk how to land with ils so this video was pretty helpful thank you
No problem! Happy I could help!
So in A321, if there is a frequency say 110.15 how can we put 15?
As it shows 00 then 30 or something and then 50.
Useful video Jack. I tried this today and learned a lot...
I entered the airport approach into the gps. When I activate the approach button the plane goes into a nose dive. How do I fix this? NVM you answered my question.
Once you push the app mode, what it will says on the altitude selector ? Is it on or off?
Just leave it as it is and the aircraft will control the altitude
Thanks' Jack, I actually have been thinking on purchasing the Aerosoft A319. This really helped me get the idea to start learning this aircraft. Very cool!
I'm glad the video helped you out! Though remember that this is the Just Flight A319 which is different in a few areas.
Ah yes, good point. (Lol, I forgot that it must be freeware at first). Are you going to do any payware tutorials? or is your channel mainly for beginners?
The channel is mostly for beginners when it comes to tutorials. However, there's a very wide variety of content across the channel, this includes many pay-ware aircraft, including the Just Flight aircraft in this video.
Hi I didn't see a a320 any where on the fsx I have so will this be the same as the a321
Default FSX only have the A321. You can find this aircraft in the description. However, yes, these instructions will work for the default version.
Thanks bro....I have a question..In a free flight if suppose i am travelling from london to Rome, how do I set the gps as well as frequency to Rome so that i get the right direction to fly in an unknown space...Please help..Thanks
If you're talking about just setting up the GPS for a straight line flight plan, check out my How to Use the GPS video or at jfv.tv/flightpath
Do you have to enter it into the gps or can you just enter it straight into the nav 1
Either is fine :)
jack, how you get another airlines as an air traffic? please tell me
I use Ultimate Traffic 2 for all of the AI seen in my videos.
Thanks Jack, this is a really nice video and well explained.
Thank you so much! It's really great to hear that and I'm glad you liked the video!
hi i dont know if you can diagnosis this but,
i have been the ils for a while now but now everytime i turn on the nav and ils button.
my aircraft turns away from the runways then tries to re-align then fails to and then it dives???
it never did this before but now it does???
Try my written version of the tutorial on my website at jfv.tv/flightpath
I am new to this - wondering in the 737-800 cockpit, which / where is the ILS switch that you mention?
There's no ILS button for the 737, but I'll be making a tutorial for it soon
Was able to do it at my 3rd attempt.. thanks to your video i got it finally 👍
Just takes a little practise! Glad I could help :D
Hey Jack can you please explain when the diamond will come start coming down by decreasing speed or something else ??
Not entirely sure what you mean, but he diamond will start falling once it’s onto the glide scope and when you can then activate the Approach button
Hey Jack can you please make a auto landing tutorial for 777 ??
I tried this method to land at JFK 4L. Thing is the runway is at the other side of the airport and the GPS doesn't align me to that runway. Do I have to manually align myself and turn around before activating approach?
You will have to do it manually (to get around to the otherside of the airport), but if you're using ATC, they will guide you round to the correct side to come in for an ILS (if that's what they said the approach is)
Jack's FSX Videos. Using atc with IFR right? Thank you for the quick response
Yeah that's it and no problem :D
what altitude do you turn off autopilot? when i disengage a/p the noses rises way high in the air
You should disengage just before touchdown :)
Thanks a lot! I already knew how to do it in a Boeing plane from one of your other tutorials, but this also rlly helped out
Happy I could help you out!
Great video could you please post approximate speeds (approach, ILS glide slope capture, landing etc) as I've never flown anything bigger than a Beechcraft 1900D. Thanks
Landing speeds vary by aircraft and weather conditions, they’re mostly around 140-150 knots
thank you for the video! I have tried so many other videos out there but people were not doing it the correct way. looking at buying the aerosoft airbus pack and should I get the one with 4 planes or the one with 2 planes?

But how do you get that zoomed out view on your cockpit?
I have just purchased fsx steam edition and still tinkering views and doing my tutorial missions. But my cockpit on all planes is not zoomed out like this
Ive got a 34inch ultrawide monitor too
Just hit the minus (-) key to zoom out :)
This isn't aerosoft but the interior looks clean unlike the default and most freeware. Do you have the link(the one in the description didn't work)
Sorry about the link - thanks for letting me know. It's now fixed.
At which point do you switch from gps hold to nav hold
When ATC clear you to intercept the ILS
really helpful, this really made my day! thanks alot for a few well explained videos :)
Can you make a video on how to land a 777-200 with ILS approach without using the fmc please??
Coming soon :)
Hey erm I did Gatwick to La Guardia and I click activate approach at about 10nm and then done the course before hand and the frequency before hand but didn’t switch until I activated approach. Then I click the GPS switch to Nav. Or the other way round. Then when I click the Approach Hold button. And then the plane didn’t line up with the runway I put in. And it landing on the like the terminals and the plane didn’t go full around the airport to land so Im confused
This is what I did correct me if I am wrong:
Gathered the Runway Name and frequency and Heading noted it down.
I then done the flight.
At about 16nm I done the frequency then done the course I didn’t switch the frequency to active yet. I also did the approach and loaded it.
Then about 13 nm I then Activated Approach then I switches the frequency then I switched the Switch from GPS to NAV. Then when the diamond reached the middle I clicked the Approach hold button.
Then I just decreased speed. Then I realised the plane wasn’t gonna go to the runway can you help me?
Try the written version of this tutorial at jfv.tv/flightpath
Do you have to put the heading in or will it automatically follow just by putting a ILS into the GPS
You don't put an ILS into the GPS, you need to use the frequency to enter it into the Nav1 radio stack
Captain, on a general aviation plane like a small Cessna, do you need to enter a course number to use the ils or is the localiser not available?
No need for a course input on that kind of plane, in fact I don't think it's even necessary for a commercial plane, but is recommended
Thanks for the video, very clear, but is there some kind of series to teach people all about FSX for beginners? As I really need that rn.
Glad you’ve found it useful and have a look at the Tutorials playlist on my channel for all the beginner vids
Very nice intro, sounded like a very neice Rode mic! Keep up the good work!
It was a bit deafening 😂
@@JacksFSVideos LMAO
Great Video but I can't figure out how far the aircraft is from the runway or when to start the approach procedure?
You may find it more useful to read the written version of this video - www.jacksfsxvideos.com/fp-how-to-land-ils
I'm flying a B1 Lancer, and i kept setting my ils approaches without using ils frequencies and headings, now I understand why my throttle automatically firewalled, just gotta leave it alone and manage my speed and altitude
I have the same flight simulator but I don't get the missions which you have like the one you showed on this video
Not sure what missions you mean in this video, I can't see any. Could you explain?
Be sure to tune into the 5K Subscriber Live Stream w/ Giveaways @ 17:00 UTC, Sunday 23 July!
Does it work for thomas ruth's a330 aswell?
Not sure, never tried it :/
I have this issue, when I take off and fly my altitude ascends very slowly and ATC says I am like a couple 1,000 feet above my altitude even though I am really low, and yes my altimeter is correct. Please help me BTW I am using a Airbus A321
I think in this case it would be best if you could record the problem - showing ATC open with the message and what altitude you're flying at. Please upload the clip to a well-known cloud service and email me here - contact@jacksfsxvideos.com. Please also provide the exact aircraft you are flying.
Thanks, I will be creating the video shortly
Capt, Is ILS On Boeing and Airbus Is the same way ?
It is slightly different as some controls are in different places and are labeled as different things. But on the whole, yes, the principle is the same. I first learnt with an Airbus and I just figured it out on a Boeing after a few minutes, so hopefully there shouldn't be any problems with it. Thanks for watching!
thanks :)
No problem!
I saw one of your videos the one which you flew from Melbourne to Hobart I don't have that mission in my fsx
In the future, can you please make sure you reply to comments in the same thread for the same topic. In any case, that's actually not a mission, just a free flight :)
Lovely video so much to learn but 1 question how do u get ur scenery
Thanks, glad you liked it! I haven't used any scenery add-ons in this video, it's just my FSX settings, which can find on my FAQ :)
Question; I'm trying to follow the steps in this tutorial to make an ILS landing in the default A321 at Edinburgh, runway 240 (course 244, frequency 108.9MHz). I get vectored to about 15 miles east of the airport at 2100ft, activate the approach via GPS and autopilot turns me towards the glideslope. However when I activate the approach hold switch with the pink diamond right on the line, the plane dives towards the ground (ie crashes.) I've never managed to automatically intercept a glideslope. Is there something obvious I'm doing wrong? Plane configuration at that point is 180kts, 15* flaps and gear down.
Thanks for providing all the information. I assume you're using ATC, have you been told to do an ILS approach? If so, are you pressing the Approach Hold button when they tell you to intercept the ILS? Also, at what point, or how close to the runway do you press the button?
+Jack's FSX Videos Thanks for replying! I pressed the Nav Hold (LOC button?) at about 6-8 miles from the runway, with the threshold / PAPI in sight, at 2100ft with both glideslope diamonds captured. I must have something wrong tho. One thought- although Altitude Hold was definitely OFF, the vertical speed control was still keyed in to -1800ft/m from my previous descent. Does this somehow override the approach?
I don't think you read my comment right. I was asking when do you engage the Approach Hold Switch? Also ensure the ILS switch and GPS switch is on before the Approach Hold switch goes on. Your vertical speed will not affect the ILS at all, as long as the Altitude Hold is off.
+Jack's FSX Videos Approach Hold switch was pressed when the pink diamond intersected the horizontal line. I've just tried again and I'm lined up beautifully but for some reason the plane won't descend down the horizontal component of the glideslope. Hmmmm
+limeyfox apologies second 'horizontal'; read 'vertical'. It's late and I'm going to bed.
hello. i got a problem. i was flying from Gatwick to faro when i crashed my plane on landing. i did everything you said in the video like the gps and what to press. but for some reason i was to high and i crashed. i thought it was a "Autolanding" well clearly not.
I would suggest just practising a few times before going into a full flight and just trying over and over - let me know how you get on
ok thanks
No problem!
Do this tutorial with posky 777 or skyspirite 777.
What key did you press to show up the radio?
Shift+2 for most aircraft
Why is ILS landing hard for boeing 747 in Quito Approach mission?
Tricky airport?
Hi jack, I am coming in about ninety degree to the ils runway and the plane often turn late and it will stuff up.What to do? Please help.
Make sure you use the GPS to set the approach early enough and use LOC to guide you in
I am doing all this , but I come in a ninety degree angle and the plane turns very late, your video was great. Please reply. Thanks.
Try reading the written version on my website
Thanks
My plane won't turn that much if I am coming in a 90 degree. Please help.
I’m having a bit of trouble and I’m hoping someone can help me. I can never seem to get the speed right, I either come way too hot and end up bouncing or roll straight through the runway or I stall out before I get to the runway midair?! What speed should I be approaching at? Thanks in advance
Have you followed how I decrease my speed in the video? Landing speed for a 737 is around 140 knots. And are you using autothrottle?
hey Jack. I had a question
In fsx, will the aircraft fly if i run out of fuel in both the wings, but fuel is still left in centre tank?
Yes, they’re just storage tanks, engines take an equal amount from all 3
Jack's FS Videos okay. Thanks☺
No problem!
thrust to iddle before touchdown ?!
The aircraf isnt controlling my altitude should i turn the alt hold or turn it off
Memes Memes press on the notch you use to increase/decrease altitude and it will engage, you also need to have they Autopilot master switch on
Are you pressing the APP button?
I loaded in a freeware easyjet b737-700, followed the instructions to the point where I have to press on nav - and the diamond does not show up! But the ATC didn't say "Cleared to land", is that the problem? Lol there was just a line of 3 aircraft: The first one, the second one( both airbuses ) and me in my b737 XD
Did it work in a default aircraft?
what if you click on select approach but it doesnt show any runways of the airport ? does this mean i have to land by myself?
Try a different airport
Why we have to put the airplane in NAV mode ? and when we shoud put?
It needs to be in NAV so it uses the navigation system and frequencies, instead of following the GPS. And it should be switched as shown in the vid
Well, this will help a lot, because landing an airbus is not easy as landing boeings, i don't know why, airbus feels very heavy and hard to fly it manual
When auto pilot disconnected, why did the master caution light not flash ? Thank you
It shouldn't normally flash for just disconnecting the autopilot, though it might in some planes
hello and thanks. If you look at airbus landing videos on you tube, you will see that when auto pilot disconnected, you hear the disconnection sound and the master caution light flashes three times.

Sorry I thought you were talking about planes on FSX, yeah in real-life the caution lights will flash, but for this add-on and many others, it's simply not there - I think the Aerosoft one does it tho
:)
I do what you say but altitude doesnt change when hitting apr when diamond is centered...why?
Try out the written version of the tutorial to make sure you're not missing anything :)
what decides the number for a runway? The heading of it is about 80°/260°... combination?
Runway numbers are determined on the angle they are heading towards. For example, runway 09 has a heading of 90 degrees. Runway 12 has a heading of 120 degrees. Runway 28 has a heading of 280 degrees. Runway 36 has a heading of 360 or 000 degrees. And so on.
***** then my guess was right! Thanks man. Your tutorials help me a lot
Glad I could help! Thanks for supporting the channel!
3:44 how do you bring up that panel???
Shift+2
Thx
No problem!
ey boi, was able to land from RPMD to RPLL with your tutorial, thanks 😊
Glad I could help you out! Thank you for watching!!
Which key should I press to write the frequency.
There is no key to write down the ILS frequency. You simply write it down on a piece of paper.
no i mean when you were in the flight, a window poped out. What did you do to get it out?
Do you mean the Map, GPS or Primary Flight Display?
Primary flight display
You can enlarge that display by simply clicking on the Primary Flight Display while in the cockpit.
Which sensitivity did you set in FSX for planes?
I haven't changed any settings on that so should be default
Jack's FSX Videos Is it 64?
Is what 64?
sensitivity
No idea, like I said, I've not changed anything
Hi what key is to get up the radio to switch the frequency
