hello

How can I automatically landing with the GPS as there is no ILS to present at the airport.
Or is that not possible ?

Unless someone has added a GPS approach to the AFCAD you can't. Native FSX does not handle GPS approaches.
 
You can't land automatically with the GPS, but ..... If you file a IFR flight plan, when you are close to the destination the ATC will talk you in.
Thats about as close to what you want.
 
Autoland is not even possible at this time in the real realm. However the approach minimums are getting lower and lower. The required accuracy is achieved via a recomputation of the GPS signal for the approach. An airport stationary reciever station can take out the random uncertainty intentionally introduced by the military which normally degrades the accuracy for civilian users. Using the difference between it's known position and the recieved position, it can re-transmit a corrected signal.

Such technology is possible, but the world of commercial aviation adapts slowly and with conservitism for reasons of reliability and backwards compatability.
