This thread has provided an opportunity to ask a question that's bothered me for a while:

1) when you intercept the ILS using the autopilot in a real aircraft, do you have to be descending at the same rate as the glideslope to prevent the lurch downwards that often occurs when selecting APP in a certain Microsoft programme?

2) similarly, can the autopilot turn the aircraft to intercept the localiser accurately without the over-correction that happens in flight simulator?

(Please forgive the comparison - it's the only reference I have!)
