Been a few years now, but pitch attitude on final approach at normal ldg wt was about 10.5deg (equiv 13.5deg alpha for a normal ILS)
Nose & visor had 4 pos'n - Up(above 250kt), visor dn(blo 250kt), visor dn/nose 5deg(t/off) & nose/visor dn (final app & ldg) no problems with visual aspect in the correct config so maybe a sim prog fault.
Reduced noise (!!) technique on ILS was to fly 190kt in IAS hold till 800ft (with vref set in IAS ACQ window - 160ish kts) then select IAS ACQ so as to be stable by 500ft, thereafter usual lap of the gods type ldg!! Enjoy the sim, it's a bloody shame she's gone!!

p.s, can you adjust the seat pos'n in the sim prog??
