I have switched the instrument approach on but when I click on make approach, then make instrument approach for whatever runway it says "instrument approach chart not downloaded".(screenshot attached) How do I download the relevant runway instrument approach chart so I can use this feature? Many thanks in advance Nev

Having said that, all it will do is overlay the selected plate on the chart. The magenta line will stop at the edge of the plate and in simulation mode the aircraft will not fly the approach for you, it will continue direct to the airport.
