Title: 707 FS9 How to turn on the INS Post by Trailboss on Jan 22nd, 2009 at 1:12am
I have installed the INS according to instructions in Tips and Tricks #496. The INS installed on all versions of the 707 but I can't get it to turn on. The Operator's Manual for the INS refers to a Mode Selector Unit (MSU) to start and align the INS, but I can't find it anywhere in the cockpit.
Can someone tell me where it is, or is there some other means to toggle the INS on and off? |

I found the answer to my own question. In the overhead view in the corner I found the MSUs for each of the 3 INS CDU heads. I was able to turn on the 3 CDUs.
However, now I can't get the CDUs to accept a flight plan. Of the 3, the one in the middle shows the 707's present position, but if I click forward to other legs of the FS flight plan there are no coordinates shown. Also, CDUs #1 and #3 only show all zeros in the present position, and also don't show any additional legs of the flight plan. I must be missing a step in the initialization of the INS, can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Also, does the INS add-on require FSUIC? If so, which version is compatible with it and with FS2004? |

I found the answer to my FSUIPC question and downloaded the .dll for FS2004. The INS is now responding better than before, but I still can't get it to accept a flight plan.
I'll welcome any guidance. |

I'm not sure what you mean by "accept a flight plan"? AFAIK you must:
1. enter your co-ordinates manually for each waypoint, or 2. Use the ADEU card reader after converting a saved FS9 "PLN" file to ADEU cards with "FPConverter.exe" (freeware). |
