You can fly approaches VFR too. I recommend you google FSX Navigation.
In the USA, you can find the approach plates at aeronav.faa.gov - find the ILS frequency and apch information, enter that in FSX and fly it. Default ATC can also vector you if you set up an IFR flight plan. Pick an airport with bad weather and ATC will automatically give you vectors.

One of the best sites for learning FS Navigation:

Hi,
I started with FS9 about 8 years ago and came across
http://www.navfltsm.addr.com/index.htm
on the DC3 Airways site early on. I still can't fly for nuts, but that series of articles is totally fantastic and well worth studying.
Another stunning site is calclassic [<cite>www.[B]calclassic[/B].com]</cite> where they have FSAviator's Propliner Tutorial which covers everything, and I mean everything
. To my simple mind, it is a work of genius. I don't mean that facetiously in any way, it really is the most comprehensive and insightful piece of writing and well worth printing out and keeping.

There are navigation lessons (including ILS approaches) built right into FSX so why not use that as your starting point seeing as you already have the information.
You can find the Lessons section in the Learning Center, available from the front page in FSX (next to the bottom item in the left hand column).

Thanks, guys. This is for when I don't want to spend $77/hr for the big 172 sim and $58/hr for instructor fees, or for when I don't have time to hit the Redbirds. (Basically FSX with revamped 172 flight dynamics and a permanent G1000 display.View attachment 93841
Go grab (free) copies of the Instrument Flying Handbook and the Instrument Procedures Handbook from this site: http://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/
They're pretty much the definitive references for IFR procedures, the price is right, and you'll find a ton of related reference material, too.
