I love the CIVA INS.  Terrific job on it!  Recently I downloaded the Version 1.51 Build 2296.  I loaded it into the RFP 747 as instructed by replacing the panel.cfg files (after making a copy of my original cfg files) for the tape and analog panels.  The analog panels work great.  However, the tape panels do not.  Those instrument panels are completely dark..nothing.  Only the instruments show as if lit at night.  But that is it.. no other visuals on the screen.  No outside visuals either.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks for your help and your great product!

Hi there,

Not so long ago, I had the same problem as you with the Tape Panel of Ready for Pushback v2.0, when I wanted to implement the beautiful Civa 1.51. That is why I decided to change somethings and now it works perfectly. Save the text behind the ":" as panel.cfg and save the panel.cfg file into c:\your_FS_directory\Aircraft\RFP_Panels\Vmax_Tape\

Here is the file:
