Hello,

I recently purchased block B 757 and there is no way I can get autolanding despite tuning the right ILS frequency for the airport runway. When I press LOC or APP the plane turns away from the correct runway.

Do we also have to wait for block F to get automatil pilot landing?

Thanks for your help.

Short Answer: YES

Cheers!

Thanks Cyclops.

The truth is thta this plane is beatifully made but it is a pity that the HSI is useless at the time being, and it seems it will remain so for a time.
I hope they will fix it soon.

Regards,

For the mean time, just shoot GPS approaches. Open up the GPS, press the PROC button, press the enter button for "Select approach," select the ILS you want for the airport you want, then press enter, then enter again to load vectors, then press proc one last time to say activate approach then activate vectors to final. Its not the cleanest way to do it, but once you do, you can hit LNAV on the auto pilot and it will fly you right in.

Cheers

No Loc Hold?
No App Hold?

This is a month after your posting, so you may not be interested anymore, but here's some additional info.  You can lock the autopilot onto the ILS glideslope and localizer by adding a NAV toggle.  As you know, on the 757 there isn't any switch for this, but you can program keystrokes to toggle NAV on and off.  I use Shift+N.  As you begin vectors to the ILS switch off the LNAV button on the autopilot, which disengages the autopilot from the GPS.  Set the ILS freq and course in the Nav 1 radio. Hit your NAV toggle keys as you get close to the localizer and then hit LOC.  Both LOC and the APP lights should come on and the localizer bar on the HSI should be in the correct position left or right, depending on where you are relative to the localizer course.  You should also see the magenta mark indicating you are below the GS.  From that point on the autopilot will turn onto the localizer course when it interceipts it and fly the GS down to touchdown while you adjust airspeed using the IAS settings on the autopilot panel (autothrottle engaged).
