Hi Mark.

Yes, I was using ORBX's YMML Rwy 27/ILS 109.30. I arrived at CF27 at 2000ft,ALT HOLD,switched VOR/LOC on the AP,saw the 2 lights illuminate, which I thought was the VOR/LOC captured and then switched to G/S AUTO. At that stage I was expecting to see the plane descend along the G/S,but when I looked at it from an External View,as the VC view gave me a false perspective,and I detest VC anyway,it seemed to me that I was way too high and too close and would thus overshoot if I carried on relying on the G/S AUTO.Thus I elected to go hand land.
