The marked value is just a name for the .Isd file in the civa folder. See this as some sort of saved configuration file.
You can name it anything you want and I've chosen a different name for "my" Civa installation to enable all users to go back to the default Captain Sim one without loosing any files there.

From the Civa manual

Quote:
Configuration Files (.ISD)
The ISD files, to be found in the /Civa subfolder, is where the INS system stores all its own
saved information.
By default the INS system (see "Config" gauge reference below) uses default.isd. The
system also supports custom ISD file names in order to associate each panel (where the
INS is installed) with a specific ISD file, so keeping saved data separated on a per-panel
basis.
If specified .ISD file does not exist it will be automatically created by the INS system as soon
as "Config" gauge is executed.

Your installation looks ok to me.
Please go to the Civa folder, find the 707 related .Isd files and move or delete them. Restart your PC, load the 707 and try again to establish power on the Civa.

Something seems to corrupt the .Isd file from time to time, not only on my installation but on the default one too. I haven't found the trigger for this so far but starting on a fresh Isd helps here.

Don't worry, you won't lose any data by doing this. The last coordinates will always show "0" as there are no last ones available. Not a problem, you have to enter new ones anyway every time you start aligning the INS.


Please don't think that the VC INS gauge has anything to do with the real Civa INS (which is 2D only). This one is just a dummy and shows the FSX coordinates when powered.
The only linkage between this gauge and the Civa one seems to be the power switch. But it only causes the VC one to light up and this doesn't reflect any status concerning the Civa gauge.


You can't write tickets on this because this is a modification of your original installation.
Please revert back to the Captain Sim INS solution (this is the one with the single CDU) and then test again if you want to have official support on this.

My double Civa installation is not supported by Captain Sim. It can't be and it shouldn't be and nobody said that it is.
A known fact on all user made modifications.
