In the MSFS Cessna 152, on the lower control panel just to the right of the ignition key (Magneto L/R/Both/Start) there is a round button that says something like "glare shield lighting" (I don't have it in front of me right now). Anyway, you can use your mouse to turn the ring rather than click on the button and it brings on an adjustable red light that illuminates the console.
There is no hard and fast rule. If you're flying a civil aviation jet, you might be following a "Standard Approach Route" that starts 100 miles from the destination. If you're flying GA, ILS would be acquired 8 miles out at 2500ft above ground level - or anywhere below that much closer to the runway.
When you start your videos please make it clear exactly where you are flying from. Give the airport name and location FIRST. Otherwise by the time I locate your starting point, you're already in the air and I'm still trying to find the airport. I love your videos. I'm learning ILS but you move so fast. Thanks, Denver in Chicago
I beg to differ. X-Plane is massively more realistic in terms of the movement, and behaviour of the aircraft. It simulates the flow of air over the shape of the aircraft - FlightSim looks it up in a table. For the most part it's a good approximation, but when faced with cross-winds, yaw, and so on - FS falls down.

Jonathan, thank you for this, really great intro to ILS, appreciated.👍
Thank you so much. This allowed me to practice my first ILS landing in C152. Nice, concrete example, that's easy to try.
Thanks. It was very straightforward and clear.
Please can you tell me. How do you get the red night lighting for this aircraft please?
It's a Cessna 152. I very much doubt it has red night lighting.

Is there an approach mode on this version of the Cessna 152?
I doubt it lol - it doesn't have an autopilot
Pretty limited on that 152, can't even "catch" the glide slope to allow an ILS approach.
thank you
When is best to turn for final is there a science to it or an ideal ?

interesting and enjoyable.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great intro:)
