Also, how do you land using ILS with the assists if you can? When you select a runway from the assist page will it just create a GPS approach to the runway? Or does it help you try and land ILS if the runway has it?
ILS: You have to be sure there is a glideslope if you need it, often only the LOC is available for horizontal location, check in the Ideal Flight briefing. You need to approach below the glideslope so in Ideal Flight, enable HSI reporting and you need to hear that you are below GSI as you approach the final. If you are above GSI then set your VS to steep enough to get below the glideslope. You can set your altitude to just below the runway altitude so a runway at 250 feet set 200 feet in the altitude, set -700 feet VS. If you use the Ideal Flight computed approach you will be on the start of final at APP1 waypoint, next waypoint is TDWN on the near end of the runway.
About your sim crashes: as usual you can use the Ideal Flight auto-save with the new build but it will not load saves from the older builds. Do you know what is causing your crashes? Usually a bad add-on or overreaching settings in Prepar3D. You can check things in the Administrative evens All events from the Windows Control Panel, System and Security, Administrative Tools, View Event Logs.
