First fly out for a while, then start on your final (facing runway).
Then put about 8, 10 % flaps (depends on aircraft)
Slow up put gears down then the next % of flaps when your close to the runway put full flaps in speed up a bit then when your over the runway pull the power off. when tuching down, push and hold F2 (Reversers), this will help the aircraft stop (only on jets and turbo props) when you slow down to about 15-40kts or mph (depends on speed indecator).

You have fs 2000? Get the new flight Simulator X.

Speed depends on the aircraft and load and you need to be a lot more accurate with bigger aircraft on smaller runways.
Get lined up about 10 miles out at 2500 feet. Set up the ILS and switch any display, varies with aircraft, to approach mode. Center up the vertical needle so you are on the runway center line and throttle back so that you slow towards approach speed (varies by aircraft). As your speed comes down add in flaps. Watch the ILS for the horizontal needle coming down to show you are approaching the glide slope. Once you are on the glide slope nose down to follow it. By now you should be able to see the approach lights, at this point you can switch over to visual approach or continue flying the ILS. As you are heading down through 1000 feet you should have gear down and full flaps and should be at final approach speed. Arm spoilers and autobrakes, if you have them. Continue down the glide slope. At around 50 feet throttle back so you won't just fly along the runway, ease the nose up as you get close to the ground and ease the throttles back some more. you should run out of air speed as you run into the runway. Hit the reverse thrust, if you have it, and check the spoilers and brakes are working.
Another safe landing.
I found it easiest to start with moderate sized aircraft like the A320, they are smoother to fly than the GA types and they are easy to stop on a typical 12000 foot runway if you overshoot the landing a bit. It's best to start a lot further out and lower than you would in real life, it gives you a chance to get the approach stabilized one dimension at a time (line, speed, altitude). Even experienced pilots can end up dead if they don't stabilize their approach in time.
The FS insistence on under 250kts under 10,000 feet is bogus, it is based on a FAR but the wording says "unless otherwise instructed" and most commercial aircraft are well over 300kts on the approach until they are down to about 4,000 feet. You can check it out on FlightAware.com.
Once you are practiced you can slam the aircraft down from some pretty unusual approaches, it's only a simulator and you don't have to worry about breaking it or losing your license ;-)
Practice, practice, practice.

Easy. Just do the following.
Ease down the throttle and then nose down going directly to the runway.
Once you are over the runway, nose up and then put your throttle to idle.
Before you do all of this, make sure that you release your flaps.

well it depends. of you have a joystick, then you push down on it slowly. if you are using your arrow keys, then you push the up arrow down slowly.
