Title: Re: CIVA INS Tutorial......text or You Tube

I have managed to get the Civa INS v1.60x64 to showq up in the 1011 II, but it stalls at 65 when trying to align. Other than that, it seems to work. At least it does to that point. Even loading in a flight plan in the ADEU works, so I really think I have it added correctly up to a certain point.

------------------------------------------

Intergration into the 1011 II:

[Window Titles]
Window00=Main
Window01=SimIcons
Window02=Animations Control
Window03=CIV-A INS <- I renamed this
Window04=Weather Radar Screen
Window05=Navigation Map

gauge01=../../CS_L-1011-1/panel/main!L07_001_BKG, 442, 1116, 1021, 911
gauge02=../../CS_L-1011-1/panel/main!L07_002_BKG, 856, 920, 526, 121
....etc....
gauge22=update!main, 0, 0, 1, 1
gauge23=../civa/civa64!Config,         0,    0,  0, 0, csL1011 <- I added the CIVA INS initialisation entry here

The INS turns on with the initialisation entry in [VCockpit01], just like it does if I add it to the bottom [Window00] (documentation says it must be there, but you must use SHIFT+1 to initialise it (nothing shows up on the screen when you this, and nothing should either)), or at the bottom of [Window03]. Even though it intialises, it still stops 65 during the alignment. I remember having this problem with the 707 Captain, but I can't remember the fix.

What also seems to happen, is one of the HDDs on my PC (I don't know which one) surges (spins up for a second or two, stops, then spins up for a second or two, stops...rinse and repeat...) when the L-1011 II with the INS is loaded into P3Dv4. :-/


EDIT. I got past the 65 problem, by pressing the TEST button on the CDU (and the HDD spin up seems to have stopped with it, which leads me to believe it was the drive that has P3Dv4 installed on it). Also, to get it to track the route in the INS, click on the INS NAV switch to turn it on (this is the NavModeSingle switch), leave the L-1011's Nav Source Selector on VOR, and press the HDG switch on the AP, and the SimuFly CIVA INS will track the route you have entered into the INS.

Note. The setup I have used is to have the MSU, CDU, ADEU, NavSingleMode, and UpdateFlags, all in the one panel (I used [Window03] and replaced the default 2D INS panel).
