I’ve noticed the PMDG 737 does not like the RNP approaches at NZQN for some reason. It always tries to preform an ILS and starts lining up with the extended centreline.

[@FogSim]

That's interesting, are you using just LNAV/VNAV? Is it deviating from the fixes, or are the fixes on the extended centreline taking you into terrain?

[@Buttachopper]

@@FogSim I’m using approach mode which works for all other RNAV approaches. It’s deviating from the fixes on the approach and there’s no fixes on the extended centreline it just tries to intercept it which is very strange.

@@Buttachopper I found the same thing, FS struggles to keep it on the path. Easier to fly it manually, which is saying something for ZQN because it's a difficult valley to handle!
