V 1.10 Glidepath Failures
-
Hello. I am having issues with the glideslope as well. It started after the last update. But my issue is the plane is staying much too high as the GS indicator goes further and further below the middle dot and the plane just doesn't follow it down. I am fully configured and airspeed is VRef+5 or so.

@highlander_821 The issue of the aircraft flying above the glideslope will likely either be caused by the speed with relation to the flaps, or it could be the MSFS updrafts pushing it away from the ground.
One method you can experiment with is MSFS Options > Assistance Options > Piloting > Turbulence. This setting is set to "REALISTIC" by default which based on some real pilot feedback seems to overexaggerate turbulence and updrafts caused by terrain. This may be an option that is down to personal preference, but if you try experimenting with this option set to LOW or MEDIUM you may have a better experience.

@mark I checked and I already had the turbulence setting on "medium". I am approaching at VRef+5.
I know you said that you didn't change anything about how the glideslope is followed in this latest update, but there is most certainly something that has changed. It is frustrating, because I have had this plane for well over a year, and I have been flying it on ILS approaches a lot. Never had a problem before. -
I decided to try an automated ILS approach with pre-set Clear Skies weather (I usually use real live weather, either with REX Weather Force or the MSFS built-in live weather.)
The results were still; awful. It's like the AP isn't even trying. As the glide slope dot starts to go below the middle dot, the airplane just lets it go. Then , once it is almost at one dot below (the indicator, not the plane), it finally pitches down to around 1100 fpm decent, as if it is going to try to follow the GS, but then pitches back up to around 500 fpm before it has even started to catch up to the dot. This puts it further behind. Then it "tries" again, but it once again fails and pitches back up again. By this time, it is too far behind to catch up and I have to take over manually. This test was flown fully configured, flaps 33, gear down, Vref within 3 to 4 knots of the flipchart value.
I have to wonder if anyone at JF has actually tried to fly an automated ILS approach to see if they can get it to work properly.
I have several other payware jetliners that are having no issues. I really doubt that galeair and I are the only ones seeing this. -
@highlander_821 can confirm my installation of the 146 also exhibits this poor GS behaviour.
-
Same here, at least -100 is "always" under GS for 1-1.5 dots
-
@knidarkness I can confirm I see the same issues with the QT300. I am constantly 1 Dot high on the glideslope. A/C is fully configured.
I mean I can live with it but its definately off :) Still loving the Jumbolino btw......
