Hi All, just a quick Q on the ILS.
I use MSFS 2K (my lappy cant handle the newer versions).
anyway when im on final approach and i'm locked into the ILS, if i leave the ILS to control the complete landing to the point of touchdown, it brings the aircraft down nose first on that final last few seconds before touchdown, resulting in a crash.
I was just wondering in the real world, if the ILS system actually brings the plane down to complete touch, or if the pilot takes back control just before touch and brings it down to ensure a smooth landing?
Another note, are the ILS systems in real life as touch and go as they appear to be in FS2K? for instance, i just flew from Mcarran Intl to San francisco INTL, and the ILS completey screwed up, it was as if it was inverted, and was telling me to turn the opposite directions than i should have been. (course and freq were triple checked) So i had to to end up emergancy landing VFR :/.
any info on this would be appreaciated.
also, is the ILS transmitter from the runway the same type of hardware as VOR beacons? just wondered what they look like.
thanks alot
