If picky means the another company 747 and not the Captain Sim 707, then I don't know what picky means. In any case, I have not tried to add the CIVA into the 707, so I don't know how hard it is. As I understand it, the 3D object is a dummy, and you a use pop-up window. I remember using the CIVA a long time ago with the late lamented RFP 747 and it was frustrating with lots of gotchas, as I recall, but did work well once I had it figured out. It is a very intimidating piece of kit. I'll be sticking with Doppler as soon as I figure out how to make it work (oh, please let there be no "issues!") Speaking of which, I got weird smoke -- see the 707 section.

The CIVA-INS is already there for the 707. In the FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B707-300\panel folder, you will see a CIVA_panel.cfg in there. Just rename the current panel.cfg (i.e. panel_BAK.cfg), then rename the CIVA_panel.cfg to panel.cfg and you're ready to go. It's only a single INS unit, but there is help in the 707 Captain forum on how to add 2 INS units.

CIVA INS is fun, but it takes a lot of work, unless you get the PlanConverter.v0.4.2.zip. PlanConverter helps convert FSX plans into INS plans with a text file that tells you when to load each separate ADEU "card" into the INS. It really does help.
