Title: Re: 727 with double Civa INS - short how to

Hi CoolP,

Thanks for all your work on this INS installation, it's a great addition to the 727.  I downloaded Cthulhus' CIVA-CS_B727-100.zip, installed it and it works great.  I then made the modifications to the -100 panel.cfg file that you have posted here and the 100s work perfectly

I then modified the -200 panel.cfg file using your posting for the -200 and freight versions.  The installation on the -200 seems to be fine in that all the components and icons appear but an unexpected problem appeared immediately after the install:  I can't keep the pilots' cockpit windows closed.  As soon as the aircraft boots up in VC both windows slide open.  If I "pull" on the window handles with the cursor the windows move forward slightly, then go back to full open.  If I use the Animation Panel for Pilots' Windows, same result.

My question is this:  the -100 CIVA installation included a modified panel.cfg file and 4 texture files + 3 night texture files which had to be placed in the 727-100 texture file, overwriting the existing files.  Should I have installed those same texture files into the -200 texture file?  Would those texture files somehow affect the cockpit window animations?  I modified the -200 panel.cfg file using your instructions posted in this thread and the graphics of the CIVA controls appear as advertised and seem to work, but I can't keep the windows closed, so I'm grounded.

I would greatly appreciate any help you can give me, and thanks in advance.

UPDATE:  I have since restored the -200 original panel and texture files and there is no problem with the windows, they remain closed.  I returned to the modified file and the windows opened.  Here is the panel file as I modified it, and the problem has to be in these lines because I didn't change anything else:
