Title: Re: INS shows no wind direction
Post by Trailboss on Mar 6th, 2017 at 4:01pm
I installed the 727 update several months ago but just now got around to flying it.  The Captain Sim CIVA INS works well for me, exactly tracking course in agreement with the GPS and Navigation map.  However, I get the same 0 degrees wind direction that others reported in this thread, wind velocity is correct.  But I have another problem that the INS ground speed is way below the GPS speed.  At altitude FL260, 354 kts indicated airspeed, the GPS reports GS of 512 kts but the INS says 303 kts. Distance to go exactly agrees between the GPS and INS, but relative to the GPS the INS always does the automatic leg change late because of the low groundspeed. I used an E-6B computer to check the relationship among IAS, TAS, wind and groundspeed and the GPS groundspeed is close to correct. I think this is related to the wind direction problem.  I'm quite sure I have the autopilot set up correctly:  NAV/GPS switch set to NAV, AP knob set to MAN, ail and elev paddles engaged, alt hold toggle on, heading select on, source AB.  I shut down the flight and FSX, restarted, same result.  I haven't tried reinstalling the 727. Any ideas?
