ILS is brocken?

Hey, guys! Can you give me a hint, please? What am I doing wrong, or what's wrong with the plane's ILS system? APPR LOC1, and GS modes are active. The GS beacon is up, but the plane is rapidly descending. This happens in 3 out of 5 scenarios. The other planes with this glideslope interact normally.

Hard to see, your image is low resolution. A wild guess: did you select Localizer as source on the Display Control Panel/PFD? The button is on [19] and the display on [1] in the user guide, page 10-1.

Open this picture in a new window. The necessary modes are activated, and the autopilot is turned on. Thanks for your version!

I did that, but the image size is only 360x202, hence one cannot see smaller indicators or read text on the PFD. I presume you capture the GS while being at or below the correct altitude?

Maybe it will be better. I will try to press APPR at the desired height, but the indicator indicates that the GS is captured.

Much better. I can't double check right now, but I believe you may have to set the preset from FMS to NAV. If I am not mistaken, you do that withe the NAV/B... button to the right of the PFD.

Hi,
Check your baro setting, it seems to be wrong (underlined in amber).

Those are the nuances I noticed.I don't know why the plane activated the GS mode until it reached FinalFix, and started reducing me at a vertical speed incompatible with the correct glide descent. I did the same thing on all the planes. Aligned the plane at ILS capture altitude, aligned the localizer, and pressed the APPR button on the MCP. Instead of capturing only the localizer, and waiting for FF to capture and activate GS, the plane activated everything at once and began to descend.
Even if the BARO is not correct (installed on the keyboard "B"), the ILS system works with 2 beacons. Pressure does not affect the correct course and gliders.
P.S. I'm sorry if my messages aren't understood. I use an translator.
