I came here to the forum because I too have the issue with the INS not powering on, but am madder now than before I began my search for a resolution.

I have tried the following:

1) Flipped the INS/Doppler switch on the main panel to "INS."

2) Attempted to find and delete the file csx701.isd, but wasn't able to find it. I checked every single place I could in the CIVA directory.

3) Renamed the civa panel config file to just panel config (after making backup copies of both)

I have successfully programmed and used an INS on other payware aircraft, so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong or what I need to change. It's not very practical for me to wade through 23 pages of discussion on the topic. I'm also terrified of screwing up my installation so badly that I have to delete and reinstall.

Would someone with more knowledge about this issue help me out? I just want my INS to work so I can actually fly somewhere.
