Title: INS Problem
Post by Ant1981 on Nov 18^th, 2008, 8:27pm

Hi, I've tried a search but cannot find what I need.

I'm flying a VC10 and I've installed the INS. Entered my LAT and LON of my parking space and began alignment.

Alignment will not proceed past 6. Although rather oddly, the right hand INS aligned to 0 and the green ready light came on. But now neither unit will align.

I then read that I won't be able to perform alignment with engines on and that I should have INS battery switches and APU switches. I read that there is a simulated APU specifically for alignment, so I switched my engines off but I still can't align.

The INS battery swich and APU swhich, I can't find them, so I don't think they installed, what can I do?

Here incase I've missed something, is my panel.cfg

Title: Re: INS Problem
Post by Marco Ravanello on Nov 19^th, 2008, 9:09am

panel.cfg is a bit incorrect, although I don't think it should not work.

Change "gauge00=../civa/INS!Cdu11, 0,100,199,158" to "gauge00=../civa/INS!Cdu1, 0,100,199,158"

Change "gauge01=../civa/INS!Cdu21, 200,100,199,158" to "gauge01=../civa/INS!Cdu2, 200,100,199,158"

To align INS platforms keep engines OFF, parking brake SET and, to avoid draining FS' battery (if you're not using the INS "fast alignment"), keep battery OFF as well. INS will get power from its own simulated APU.
