Thanks - I wasn't aware of that ... the Worldwide thing, not that it's
being broken that is :-))

Well, in real life you'd usually use approach charts spelling it all
out for you.
But on the sim it takes a while for the acft to stabilize after the
initial capture. So the further out I intercept it, the more stable
and comfortable the last few Nm's on the approach.
Just a personal preference on the sim. In RL flying I don't drag it
out quite that far - the controllers would hate me dragging a C172 in
for 20 to 30 Nm's :-))
