Autoland Tutorial
Ok so most people are confused of what a TRUE autoland is. A regular ils just follows the localizer and the glideslope down to the runway but it isn't built to COMPLETLY land the plane. For example if you have fs passengers and you try to do a ils landing chances are you WILL blow your tires and that will take your score WAY down But if you have a decent paywere like a PMDG 737 then it can autoland your plane without blowing your tires. But paywere aircraft cost a TON of money (example the PMDG 737 cost around $30 Bucks!) Is it that worth it? If it isn't i am going to show you how to do a desent autoland with only fs passengers or a gwps (i recomend project magnta or fs copilot)
1.Do a regular ils landing and with the landing checklist complete (gear down, autopilot on, approach button on, nav switch on, autospeed, etc)
2.At 200 ft set the n1 autopilot to 20% and set the additude inidcator to ground level and vertical speed indicator to -100 but make sure to not turn the autopilot buttons on yet.
3.As soon as the GWPS says 50 then pause the game and change the autothrotle to n and the aditude indicator and then turn them on but don't turn off the app button.
4.Now un pause the game and the plane should make a smooth landing.
It does take practice so don't be disapointed if it dosn't work at first
Also remember that every ils landing is diffrent so experiment with diffrent airports until you get used to it
Hope this helps
