If you use the autopilot properly you can't really go wrong. Go to create a flight and click "Flight planner", choose your departure and arrival airport, click "find route" and you'll see a line drawn between both locations, you can drag that line around to add waypoints allowing you to line up your aircraft with the correct runway, then, click on the runway and note down the ILS frequency (e.g. 108.80), tune NAV1 on your radio stack to that and turn on NAV1, turn on your autopilot and flight director, flick it to GPS, set a reasonable height and speed and enable altitude and airspeed on the AP too, take off manually, flick on the autopilot and it'll basically fly you to and line you up with the runway, you can adjust the altitude and speed in the AP when you get a bit closer, give it some flaps, whack your undercarriage down, flick it from GPS to NAV when you get around 20 miles from the runway and it SHOULD lock on to the ILS and bring the aircraft near enough all the way down to the runway automatically, flick it off at the last minute, flare, and you're down.
You'll need to play with it a bit but the essential thing to learn first is how to use the autopilot/gps and map.
