| I am a new user of FS Instant Approach and I have read all the instructions carefully but as soon as I click 'connect' my plane just dives straight into the ground and I can do nothing to prevent it. Can someone help me please as I have tried numerous occasions wit the same result.

Hi:
Thank you for your interest in our products! 
I am sure we can solve this for you - there are a few things to check...
You need to set up your plane first in FSX or FS2004 to be ready for the approach with the engines running. In the air or on the ground - it does not matter with FSX.
But with FS2004, as the manual explains, you cannot set the initial approach speed.
We are unable to set the speed in FS2004 due to a technical difference between FSX and FS2004.
This is stated in the free manual which comes with the free download and which is installed on your PC when the program itself is installed.
But - the good news is that you can control it - if you first put your airplane in FS2004 in a situation where it is flying at the speed you want, and then use FSIA to set up the approach, it will start out flying at the speed you set previously.
Remember that you can set the speed very quickly just by launching FS2004 and using the MAP in FS2004, which allows you to put your plane anywhere (it does not matter where) and set the speed.
Once this is done - save the flight - so it is a flight with the plane you want flying at the speed you want.
You now have a saved flight that you can load whenever you need it to set the speed.
These simple steps mean you will be ready to set up approaches with FSIA very quickly. Just load the file and then set up your other parameters using FSIA.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

| Thanks for the advice. I will have another go over the weekend and see how I get on. I was actually on the ground when I set up the programme so that might make a difference.
