It seems that you have no clue that the default FS stuff can NOT do autoland.
You'll need some third party panel to autoland properly. The default FS autopilot can only fly the approach. It doesn't flare, it doesn't retard the throttles, it doesn't deploy spoilers, it doesn't engage reverse thrust, it doesn't track the runway centreline after touchdown... et cetera.
You can mess around with the default autopilot all you want but you won't get it to fly a Category III ILS autoland for you. With all kinds of hocus pocus magic tricks you might be able to get it to fly the plane onto the runway but that's only a tiny part of a realistic autoland procedure.
Do NOT autoland with the default FS autopilot if you want to fly properly.

The method of "autolanding" in fs9 like this works great for me and others and you don't need to try to ruin it by saying stuff that not only do we already know, but that is sorta stupid

I used a 777.
A: On takeoff, I pressed Ctrl+Shift+G. It turned on the brakes and the plane slowed down to a stop after going off the edge of the runway I did everything else properly
B: On landing, it brought the front wheel down just a few seconds too soon and landed nose-first. Why did that happen?
Can you help then please?

Get real guys.
Also the takeoff part of this tutorial is ridiculous.
Really, I wonder how much FS and aviation knowledge -- if any -- the guy who wrote this tutorial has.
That kind of rotation in a B747 at MTOW... ROFLMAO "Flaps to around 25"... Oh jesus. Do I even need to mention on modern Airbuses you have flaps position numbers, not degrees? How about aircraft that don't even have a 25-degree flaps position?
Most of that stuff just sucks. Sorry

and remember that the guy that wrote the tutorial is NOT a pilot, and was merely trying to help out the FS2004 community with a very BASIC autoland tutorial, it wasn't meant to be the be-all and end-all of autoland tutorials it is just a basic guide on how to get the plane on the ground by itself.
It really shtis me when people come on here bagging something that someone else has done in their own time to help others, if you don't have something constructive to say.....DON'T SAY IT!
oh...and if you are the guy in your avatar, you'll be a virgin for the rest of your life.

If someone promises to finish it, I'll be glad to hand out the about half of it I've done already with help from a few others.
But speaking of autoland, if I got your point right, I can write you a very good manual for it. Here it is: "You can't autoland in FS without third party add-ons that come with better documentation."
It's better to have nothing than a bunch of misleading information which just doesn't and can't work out.

I realise that it's probably not the 'airline way' but it works, and it's relatively simple to use.

Look, I can explain this to you in much more detail if you really need clarification on what autoland means -- but I hope you do understand my point nevertheless.

Ever thought of gusts in ZERO visibility which is a very potential condition in a Cat IIIc approach?

God ###### good question. You answer that.
Just tell me how the ###### can you steer the aircraft on the runway manually in heavy crosswinds if you can't even SEE the bloody centreline?

Wanna think a bit before saying that one again?
Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh, but I'm sick of people first spreading ###### and then even calling it "sorta stupid" when I make a couple of corrections.

Dude, in FS9 planes cannt autoland.. You only use the AP for the approach.. Autoland seems to be getting confused with ILS approaches. Seems like most people have no idea what autoland really is.
I'm not trying to be a smart ar$e by posting this but do you think this tutorial is really named correctly?Actually it's not named correctly. It's a similar hocus pocus trick collection as far as I can see.
There's nothing wrong with its actual contents if someone really wants/needs to fly like that, but the name is misleading.

Hmm....i.e. The default 737 has full CAT III landing system you CAN perform a automatic landing.
Heck I think it was possible in the early CAT II beta on the VC-10's.
A ILS approach is what considered as a CAT II landing stystem where you need you need to Disengage and will only perform the approach as you said.
You seem to think that you can't do a full CAT II landing which is biza cause I have showed people many times how to perform a CAT III landing(providing it has the equipment).
Theres a few other things I could point out but I think you should get my point.

But the Title "Autoland" Tutorial seems to be confusing the ###### out of people.
