If I enter a flight plan in the UNS-1, it implements a VNAV profile automatically, right? I gave it arrival information as a runway. In my attempt it did not descend automatically when approaching the runway. Also, is it supposed to intercept the ILS localizer and glide slope by tuning to the frequency automatically?

To descent automatically you need to select a lower altitude first and then you can push the VNAV (FMS) button on the autopilot mode control panel (MCP)
You can program the entire route using the Aerofly FS 2 navigation menu as well. When you are in the sim the old 737 does not automatically tune the frequencies if I remember correctly. You may have to manually set the NAV1 frequency in the pedestal and CRS on the MCP.
In Aerofly FS 4 we added an assistance feature for this, that automatically tunes the frequency even if the aircraft itself would not do that automatically.

Aerofly FS 2023 has the same assistance as Aerofly FS 4.

NeverMind, I kept tapping buttons on the MCP and now I have SPD and FMS on let’s see how it goes
interesting that the FMA did not show anything , and the approach mode didn’t work even though I had an approach programmed in the FMC. That being said , the autopilot flew well enough until I turned it off at the threshold
