INS alignment correct coordinates
Sep 17th, 2009, 4:23pm
 
I managed to align CIVA INS north of the equator. But whenever I venture into the southern hemisphere, I cannot align (stopping at 69).

Coordinates are, according to FS:

S4*1.89' E39*36.10

I wrote S04189 and E0393610 - but this seems not to work. Sorry for bother you with such a simple question. Thanks in nadvance

Hi,
you have to insert:

S04* 01.9'  E039* 36.1'

Thank you. It worked. Wonderful. During flight the INS lost power (got the battery warning). Probably no correct electrical supply. Will have to find out which bus I forgot about on the plane (using Hilmerby's DC-9). Very steep learning curve for this thing - which I like. Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much, Gianfranco, I found a very helpful reply to this problem with the DC-9 at Stellan Hilmerby's (Multimedia file viewing and clickable links are available for registered members only!!  You need to Login Login or Register Register!!
) forum. Maybe it is of use for other CIVA INS users with different aircraft as well. It worked for me perfectly, just completed my first flight with an INS and without any electrical problems.

"Hey Matts,

Thank you for the reply.I may have found a partial solution in the
mean time:If you want to use the latest version of the CIVA Inertial
Navigation System in the DC-9,(version 1.5,that retains its information between flights),start your flight with the default B737 and put its starter switches on GENERATOR.Then switch to the DC-9.You
will notice that the DC-9's generators are now OFF.Put them back ON and as far as I can tell (2 tries now),the INS remains powered.

Greetings

Eric

HI,
Don't you think that it's more easy after the Engine starting to connect the working DC9 generators to the electrical buses?
