Hi Lou

Thank you for the "brighter" capture !  Wink That confirm my question.

About the approach, I usualy fly with the ATC (FSX IFR mode), use the computer for the flight (LNAV) and when the ATC give me the instruction for the approach (n° of runway), I just do as you say :
"Select APP/DEPT, then select the runway ILS of intended landing. This will automatically set the correct ILS frequency."
And I double-check that the ILS frequency is the right one on the radio panel
And I triple-check on the HSI/ILS mode that the frequency is displaied.
As you can see on my screenshot, this seems to work as I am able to land automatically...

I take the question under a new angle : can I ask you what are the "manipulations" (check-list) to do in the cockpit to use/display the ILS ?
Perhaps that I have missed a step ?  

About the video card problem... actually... I have cheated !  Roll Eyes
It's not a video card problem, it's just the top of the pilot's seat that I have pulled back in order to show the whole instruments on the picture.  

In advance, thanks for your precious help  Smiley

The ILS frequency and course are inserted via the FMC. Look at the NAV RADIO page on the FMC and look for the frequency and course entry that is listed under ILS-MIL(Left LSK4). In v4.4, this becomes active when you reach about 20 miles from the airport, sometimes less. In v4.6, the ILS frequency and course are placed in the ILS radio as soon the plan is activated (see attached image).

I have do not have any trouble if I enter an ILS frequency and course, then landing using the LAND THREE on what I entered, regardless of whether I have a plan in use or not.

I don't think that unusual line in the image, that shows a likely problem with the graphics card, will cause this strange problem you are having with the ILS.

Thank's Mark !

I confirm that I use exactly the same procedure with the ILS. And as you can se on my screenshot, the autoland does work perfectly... but without the horizontal and vertical guides.  Cheesy

So far, the last possibility left is a corrupted file. So I will download a new 757.exe this week-end, clean the regsitries and re-install the bird... once again !  Tongue

About the "unusual line", I haven't been clear : it's my fault, it's just a visual effect due to the fact that I have moved the camera back, just at the pilot's seat level. It's a piece of the top of the pilot's seat that you see, nothing to see with a problem with my GC  Wink

Once again, thanks for your help.

Seeing as you are, I assume, French, I wonder if it might be a language problem caused by your Windows settings? e.g. mine is set to Australia, while yours would be France. Just trying to think of why it might be missing those parts, but still work correctly.

As for the strange line, which turns out to be part of the seat, it is similar to what we have seen in the 707 which uses HD textures. Glad you don't have a graphics card problem. Wink

You'll have to forgive me - I'm an Aussie and I am a tad ignorant on some things European - Like the fact that there is a French speaking part of Switzerland - I never knew that until now!
Europe is a world away from me and so I am more familiar with things Asian, than European. Sorry about that. Sad

Don't worry Mark, the Blue Planet is big !  Wink
If I am able today to point Victoria on a map, it's only because a friend of mine lives in Hoppers Crossing (SW of Melbourne).
But don't ask me any question about the Aussie geography, I wouldn't collect a lot of points...  Roll Eyes

You have learned something today, that's one positive side of this kind of forum  Smiley

Once again, many thanks to you and Lou for your devoted time.

PS : and sorry for my English but I haven't been practicing for a long time

Thanks.

My brother used to live in Hoppers Crossing.

I remember when it was nothing more than a few houses when I used to go from Laverton (about 8 kilometres East of Hoppers Crossing) to Werribee (about 5 kilometres West of Hoppers Crossing) for swimming sports with the Primary (Elementary) and High schools I was attending as a youngster back in the 1960s and 1970s (I lived in Laverton 4 different times between 1961 and 1973). Hoppers Crossing is now a part of Werribee as both places have grown a lot in the last 40 years.

You English is very good. My French is dreadful. I studied French, for one year, in my second year of High School, back in 1972. I have forgotten most of it. Sad

The FS community is large, as is our big blue planet, and I enjoy the communicating with people from all the different places. It does broaden my mind. Wink

@Lou. Thanks for brightening up my image. Smiley I still don't know why it turned out so dark. It was bright in the cockpit at the time. Huh

Sorry you haven't heard anything more about your problem. I hope you hear something soon.

As for the weather, it's still mostly hot and sunny over here. Too hot some days, just nice other days. Autumn (Fall. As the Yanks call it) starts in a week. But at least it only drops below 0oC (32oF) a few times during winter, rarely below -3oC (26.6oF).

Well... hum,hum...
So far, no news from the Support Team, but...  Grin
Actually, I have found wath was wrong with my 757. It was that :

http://t0.gstatic.com/imagesq=tbn:ANd9GcRt_1GRYKtGBr3LoFXbhK91YnD7rhSGV-0Yn6l0RS...

A Trojan !  Angry (as you can see, I took revenge in the film...)

He was so well hidden in my PC that neither Norton nor Avast did find him ! And he took great pleasure to put the mess in W7 and all the rest ! before Ad-Avast dig him out Roll Eyes

So, I had to c:format my DD and... MIRACLE ! the pink diamonds were back !  Cheesy

Sorry to have bothered you with my problem and a big THANK YOU to Mark and Lou for their support.

Happy to hear that your problem is solved. Smiley

Sad to hear that you had a trojan causing you the problem. Sad
