Autoland systems should flare the aircraft. This descends on the runway really hard and not realistic. Needs final tweaking with flare feature built in.
ILS isn’t Garmin Autoland. You still need to land the aircraft yourself once you reach minimums.
It does not work like that in real life, so why should it do so in the sim?
As @BubblyDruid56 also says: ILS is not an autoland thing.
I believe flaring should be done in ILS. Since you have no REAL WORLD feel one is at a tremendous disadvantage. Make it optional. An optional AUTO LAND feature would be nice for beginners… DB
If you complete a full instrument landing using the Fms and autoland it should auto Flare and land the aircraft on the runway surely… I was specifically aiming it more for the airliners sorry. But yes autoland would be great feature.

I was going to say, based on your original post title, you must be talking about heavy iron. Most GA aircraft don’t have a radio altimeter which is a required component for autoflare among other things.

Is the co-pilot able to land for you? or is he still suicidal? I haven’t used him in forever. If he can land, that’d be at least something until they add the actual auto flare feature. Hand him the controls at ~500 feet and pretend its the autopilot lmao

in the latest version of the FBW A320NX, that feature does exist, as irl. You might want to try that one. But it’s the only airliner that has that feature in MSFS2020…so far

Even tho some autoland support does exist the auto flare and rollout are not functional, useful for low visability landings
Maybe not the default AC (besides A310), but certainly the PMDG 737 performs perfect autoland with CAT III approaches.
