Title: Civa Wont align
Post by mllgrennman on Nov 1^st, 2016, 7:25pm

I get this same error everytime i align...no engines on or aircraft movement...

Can you post EXACTLY how you are entering the POS co-ordinates, including what keys you are pressing between LAT LON entries

Look at this thread https://www.simufly.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1414410194

Also remember that the INSERT light will remain lit after you insert the LAT coordinates and will only extinguish after you INSERT the LON coordinates. This is a different behaviour to entering waypoints.

ive been using this gauge correctly for many years...and it will align if i start at another position...

the problem seems to be that it will not align if you start at the same position as last alignment

is there a work around?....repeating flights is common in flight simulation...as it is useful for training

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by Peter Rabbit on Nov 2^nd, 2016, 7:45pm

Never had that happen, you will have to wait for one of the experts to answer.

Will it align if you change the lat/lon very slightly ?

when i start a new flight the ins shows the last position...i remember it not liking this in the past if i was doing a flight over...can i erase the memory so that it shows all zeros when i start a new flight?

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by Peter Rabbit on Nov 2^nd, 2016, 9:04pm

Never seen that. Are you loading a saved flight when this happens ?

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by mllgrennman on Nov 3^rd, 2016, 1:23am

i needed to do the same flight over many times due to failures along the way....Departure is KSFO...Destination is PANC...every time i do the flight over...the KSFO coordinates are already there...i think Civa reads this as a mistake and wont align....can i wipe the memory before the flight?

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by Peter Rabbit on Nov 3^rd, 2016, 7:49am

Try it without using a saved flight

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by mllgrennman on Nov 3^rd, 2016, 10:14am

its not saved...i start from scratch every time...but from the same departure

What error is it? (Action & Malfunction codes)?

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by mllgrennman on Nov 3^rd, 2016, 3:24pm

i put up a pic of the readout earlier in the post...can you view it?

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by Marco Ravanello on Nov 3^rd, 2016, 3:57pm

Yes I can see it but it shows only Action Code 04. I need to know also the Malfunction code (press TEST to display it).
Also you are missing the CIVA font. Please find it attached and copy the file into your "FSROOT"/Font (or "Fonts") subfolder.

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by Marco Ravanello on Nov 3^rd, 2016, 3:59pm

Sorry I missed the attachment ::) here it is

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by mllgrennman on Nov 3^rd, 2016, 6:30pm

When I press test all the led's light...i dont see another code...thanks for the font!

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by Marco Ravanello on Nov 3^rd, 2016, 6:39pm

Sorry but 04 is NOT a Action Code, I was wrong.
You have NO errors pending so...what kind of error are you getting?
You wrote the INS does not "align", did you mean you never get the green "READY NAV" light on the MSU?
Please post here the content of panel.cfg you're using!

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by mllgrennman on Nov 3^rd, 2016, 6:48pm

ill put up the panel cfg if you think it will help...give me some time please

the green light comes on fine...but the error im getting is that the alert light keeps flashing when i switch to nav...what is going on if there are no errors pending?

From OperationsManual.pdf:

12 ALERT light

Illuminates amber two minutes before airplane reaches TO waypoint. Flashes when, with AUTO-MAN switch positioned in MAN, the TO waypoint has been reached and passed. This is an alert to pilots that switching leg must be manually carried out. If AUTO/MAN selector is in the AUTO position the light will extinguish as soon as leg switching occurs.

Once again I think this behavior could be caused by incorrect panel.cfg entries so please post the content of the file you're using to make 100% sure it is correct.

Post by mllgrennman on Nov 4^th, 2016, 10:07am

The alert light flashes when i switch from align to nav while on the ground... that is the issue....the alert illuminates in the air before reaching waypoint is working well, and tracking...also, sometimes the alignment works perfectly...i cant find a consistent reason

here is my cfg...thanks for taking a look

Please zip Vmax742.isd (to be found on the Civa subfolder) and post it here.
Then delete it and retry.

well she did it again...flashing alert when switching to nav after alignment...what does this mean?

i deleted theVmax742.Isd and still same error...

what does flashing alert when switching to nav indicate?

here is the file

It means that "next leg" does not exists (or, better, has not been defined).
A "leg" is the segment connecting 2 defined waypoints.
So it looks like you're setting the INS to NAV before entering waypoints. At that point the INS start signaling to the crew (you) that it will NOT be able to navigate since no waypoints were defined.

In addition to the blinking ALERT light on the CDU you should also see the INS continuosly scanning waypoints looking for a valid leg.
On the FromTo display you should see the sequence 01...21...23...43...45...65...67...87...89...

It is not necessary to return to ALIGN to enter waypoints. Enter them while in NAV (manually or using ADEU) and then make sure the active leg is the 01 by pressing: WPCHG 0 1 INSERT.

yes...i switch to nav before inputting waypoints...i dont want to spend 20 minutes concentrating on exact numbers just to find out that the initial align didnt take...but ive been doing it this way for a long time without this problem?

I believe that's impossible, CIVA gauges haven't been modified since 2007 and the code driving ALERT blinking has been there since the original 1.00 release in 2003 (I checked it).

Also to speed up alignment you could use the fast align button (click on the upper right screw on the MSU to enable it on all installed units). That's not "so" fake :), the actual B747 simulators had it, to avoid wasting almost half an hour (time and money) just waiting for the INS to align.

marco, im telling you i do it that way with no problems...i just did it today...i go to nav after align...and then do my waypoints...and it works with no alert...

Title: Re: Civa Wont align
Post by mllgrennman on Nov 16^th, 2016, 4:50am

i think i may have it solved...i deactivated active sky and she gave no alert when switching to nav...

also...with active sky enabled, the airspeed indicators shows 20kts while parked...and the time to next waypoint readout on the ins shows something like 765 minutes

with active sky deactivated...the ASI shows 0 kts...and the ins time to waypoint shows 9999

could the wind while parked be confusing the ins during align?

Definitely YES!
This is actually a bug in the INS which checks IAS even when the aircraft is on ground. I already modified the code to use an internal FS variable which is something like "forward ground velocity" (don't remember exactly now) in order NOT to be influenced by the wind component. Next version will correct this.

What looks strange to me is that you were actually able to align the INS. It should complain and raise 04-57 Action and Malfunction codes meaning "Taxi during alignment"

i dont get it either...shouldnt wind while parked make a moving while aligning error...resulting in a red light?

for some reason the wind while parked makes a no waypoint error...resulting in the flashing yellow

maybe it has something to do with the time to next waypoint changing?

i dont know...but im glad i can prevent it....its no big deal to hold off on weather until after alignment..

I agree, for the moment that is the only workaround you could use.

Then wait for next CIVA version which will hopefully solve the wind problem
