Having trouble landing the ILS approach. Approach, speed is all good until I hit the localizer then it all goes south from there. I am maintaining a 150 kts speed until the glide slope then I chop back to idle for a 600-700 fpm descent. Unfortunately in that nose up attitude I can't see the runway and inevitable thunder in...very frustrated. What am I doing wrong?

Firstly @ 150kts you will want about 750fpm descent until the speed bleeds off. At 130kts settle for 650fpm. As far as visibility goes cycle to dials pressing the "W" key....if memory serves me correctly! or I think you can change the "seat position" by pressing shift and enter or shift and backspace. See how that goes.
