On the twin INS installation, we've worked around the issue by adding the invisible gauge to the VC itself. So when loading the plane, which always means that the VC shows up, the INS will work right out of the box.

I dded it to the single INS as a workaround too, and it work's fine.

In the single INS panel.cfg (the one that was originally named CIVA-panel.cfg), change this:

[Window00]
file=bg.bmp
background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=1024,768
window_size_ratio=1.00  
position=7
visible=1

render_3d_window=0
window_size= 1.000, 1.000
window_pos= 0.000, 0.000
gauge00=Captain_Sim.x707.sys!main, 0,0, 2,2
gauge01=Captain_Sim.x707.sound!main, 0,0,1,1,Captain_Sim\707\sound.ini
gauge02=Captain_Sim.x707.tools!icons, 0,532,24,120
gauge03=Captain_Sim.x707.gpws!main, 0,0,1,1
;CIVA
gauge04=../civa/INS!Config,         0,    0,  0, 0, csx701
gauge05=../civa/INS!NavModeSingle,  0,  652,  1, 1
gauge06=../civa/INS!CduPanelIcon,   0,  652, 24, 24, 11041
gauge07=../civa/INS!MsuPanelIcon,   0,  676, 24, 24, 11040
gauge08=../civa/INS!AdeuPanelIcon,  0,  700, 24, 24, 11042

to this:

[Window00]

size_mm=1024,768
window_size_ratio=1.00

window_size= 1.000, 1.000
window_pos= 0.000, 0.000
gauge00=Captain_Sim.x707.sys!main, 0,0, 2,2
gauge01=Captain_Sim.x707.sound!main, 0,0,1,1,Captain_Sim\707\sound.ini

And add the gauge00=Captain_Sim.x707.sys!main, 0,0, 2,2 to the bottom of [VCockpit01] like this:

It should initialize as soon as the 707 loads into FSX (when your Default cockpit view is set to 3-D virtual cockpit in FSX). ;)
