So I load my FS flight plan as Rte 1, then manually input a similar flight plan for Rte 2, but I program in the arrival and departure runways (the SIDs and STARs and such). Then I can activate Rte 2 and it will take me right in for an ILS landing, right?
No. In the RTE menu, select RTE COPY (LSK R4). It copies the entire active route into the inactive route. Wink

Thanks for that Lou.

The airsirvicesaustralia.com link I already have. I have downloaded quite a lot of the Airport and Approach charts for Australia from there. I really love that VFRMAP! It would be awesome if someone would do one for here in Oz.

Thanks for the links, LOU. That map is really cool.  Grin

Okay, so after I've pressed "Rte Copy" (it's odd I hadn't seen that button before. I need to pay more attention to the FMC), the rest of the stuff I said was right, no? I program in the Arr/Dep into Rte 2?

As time goes by, you will find more helpful stuff when it comes to the FMC. I still frequent the manual to look something up that I am not totally sure of. I never seems to end! Wink

Thanks to all for you replies! I forgot about the FMC manual... I'll read through that.

I just found a page in the 767 Manual III which has concise but good instructions on how to do an ILS approach. That should help.

One last thing: If you're using your flight plan to take you into the runway, how do you stop ATC from vectoring you?

The only ways that I know of, are to either fly a VFR flight or to cancel your current IFR.

If anyone knows of another way, I'm all ears (I wanna know)!

I did a search online and it looks like there are payware ATC systems that you could buy. That's probably not something I would do, but it sounds good.

Finger trouble. i.e you "forget" to tune the radios.

ATC usually have a chuckle if you declare finger trouble after missing a call. Unfortunately Mr Fat Controller isn't so friendly in FSX.

It doesn't help when my flight attendant (wife) goes into town and I'm desperate for a cup of coffee. I go and try and do it and the stupid ATC has cancelled my IFR flight, that really makes me angry! It's even worse when I'm hobbling back and forth so I don't have that happen and it still does happen . Sad

If you're not being vectored by ATC, how can you find the glideslope?
Also, how would you know when to start descending. Can you find the T/D point in the VNAV page?

Programing the FMC correctly using SID and STAR (STandard ARrival) will guide you to the ILS. The FMC determines the TD according to any TRANS (TRANSitions) for the STAR or ILS. It is that easy and why I often fly a VFR. Of course this makes it tricky if the weather conditions are IFR and so I just go in and land with any communication with ATC or Control Tower. I know it isn't the right way to do it, but it works well. Tongue

Just to make sure, SIDs and STARs would be the Dep/Arr info, right?

Do I need to have VNAV turned on for it to take me into the glideslope?
