It has been a while since I used the CIVA INS, but I have just tried to use it (v1.6) on my FS2004 Tinmouse 737 setup. Once the unit is powered up I noticed the font colour was a weird reddish colour. When I clicked on the "brightness" +/- button, it changed to a green colour. That is weird.
What is causing this?

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get route coordinates especially formatted for the Delco CIVA INS. The Delco CIVA INS format is DMM, not DMS. I know there are websites where I can convert coordinates from decimal degrees or DMS to DMM, but that takes way too long to convert about 20 to 30 way points. I want a website where when I put in the origin and destination, it calculates the routes in DMM formate. For example, N47* 47.8' The * is the degrees and the ' is the minutes. So, that is N47 degrees, 47.8 minutes. There are no seconds. The Delco CIVA INS does not input seconds. Only degrees and minutes in decimal. The only websites I can find are coordinates formatted either in Degrees and degrees decimal or DMS, meaning degrees, minutes, and seconds.

Hello,

I'm looking to have both 1.51 & 1.60 versions installed together.
Is there any solutions?
I'm suggest you to change folder name in simulator root from CIVA to anythings like CIVA16 & recompile it again.

Regards

Hello,

I'm using Prepar3D v3.4 + CivaINS 1.60.
When I restore INS situations, Most Lvars like (L:CivaLegDistance:X, nmiles) doesn't restore their last values.
For example CivaLegDistance becoms 0!

Regards

Yes it is included.
Try changing:
gauge08=../../civa/Ins!BatParallel,         400, 267, 57, 71
into
gauge08=../civa/civa64!BatParallel,         400, 267, 57, 71

Hi,
I just installed the latest version (1.6) and tried to make a triple INS
panel for the CS L-1011.
All went well,except for the ins bat parallel switch.
It never shows up.
My question:is this switch gauge included in the package?
my ins panel section:

[Window03]
size_mm=561,338
background_color=16,16,16
window_pos=0.300, 0.070
position=0
visible=0
ident=11040
no_luminous=1
gauge00=../civa/civa64!Msu1,             0,   0,   187,  71
gauge01=../civa/civa64!Msu2,             187,   0, 187,  71
gauge02=../civa/civa64!Msu3,             374,   0, 187,  71
gauge03=../civa/civa64!Cdu1,              0,   71, 187, 196
gauge04=../civa/civa64!Cdu2,             187,  71, 187, 196
gauge05=../civa/civa64!Cdu3,             374,  71, 187, 196
gauge06=../civa/civa64!NavModeTriple,       0, 267, 46, 71
gauge07=../civa/civa64!UpdateFlags,       275, 267, 99,  71
gauge08=../../civa/Ins!BatParallel,         400, 267, 57, 71

I only changed the folders but kept the CFG file the same.
I personally wouldn't bother though. I dont see any difference at all. I think its more to be compatible with P3D or something like that.

I have the old version working wonderfully in my RFP747 v2. Is the .cfg file going to be the same or will I need to rework my cfg file as well if I upgrade to the new version?

And hello to all! I hope everyone is well and healthy. It has been many moons since my last login.

Hello,

I installed a triple unit CIVA INS setup in the RFP 747 for FS9 but quickly ran into a problem.

Recently I made a flight from VHHH to RJBB.
I succesfully setup the aircraft, letting the INS units heat up a bit before starting the alignment process. All three units were maximum aligned to the position of the aircraft.

For departure I used a VOR/DME based SID to the first waypoint which was called RASSE.
So I flew the SID and then activated the INS to fly to RASSE waypoint,
but when I did it the aircraft broke away from the track that I was flying to intercept the first waypoint.
It made a right turn as if it was returning to the airport first, flew that for 10 minutes or so, before making a left turn again and intercepting the waypoint at completely the wrong track.


Again, all units were fully aligned and RASSE waypoint was in the INS at the WPT 01 slot with the correct coordinates. I did not mess around with WPT 00, as this is was the POS position.

I actually drew the flight path on the chart to see what happened, and it seems like it was intercepting RASSE waypoint on a track that was calculated if you were to draw a line directly from the airport (VHHH) to RASSE.

I tried both version 1.51 and 1.60x32. And on all flights I made I get exactly the same problem.

Is this a classic case of pilot error, or a bug in the CIVA INS?

In case anyone is wondering, it seems to work fine with the RFP panel and HJG’s 727 panels in FS9. No issues

Not sure what the ‘important updates’ are as it seems to perform identical but either way, it works well.
