I am a little confused. What do you mean by “ The (4) N and (6) W are working for me”

I made a typo in saying the 4 key is N, when in actual fact the 2 key is the N. But the reply was to this:

But, when I try to use keys 4 and 6 to enter my Initial position for W and E nothing happens.

Also. I don't have any problems entering the E either. Like when I placed the 707 at YMML Parking 8 - Ramp Cargo, and entered   S 3 7 4 0 6  ENTER  E 1 4 4 5 0 9

As for 1: Where is FSX installed?!. I’m not sure exactly how to answer that, given your other statements above. All I can say is that it is installed at the right place for my VC-10 and DC-8 to work just fine.

That's good that the VC-10, and DC 8 work fine, but if you have installed FSX in the default location (C:\Program Files (x86)\etc., then that can cause a problem due to the restrictions that Windows puts on making changes within the C:\Program Files (x86), and C:\Program Files folders. While many FSX addons work fine with FSX insatalled in the default location, the more complex the addon gets, the more likely you are to have problems with them. While the Just Flight VC-10, and DC-8 fit the first category, Captain Sim products fit the second category.

FSX:SE should be fine as Steam installs on C:\Steam by default, although I installed mine in F:\Steam, to keep it off my C: drive.

if that is the case as in your CIVA INS how did your CIVA-IN manage to align itself with the Coordinates N58 28.1, W 28.3 at EGLL Heathrow Airport. Are we talking about the same Heathrow Airport in London, the reason why I ask is because “Gate 1 Heavy” at Heathrow Airport with those co-ordinates that you stated simply doesn’t exist. I’ve checked with Jeppenson Charts through Navigraph and through another company’s PFPX INS Gate Coordinates and there are no Stands with those coordinates.

Yeah I was using CTRL+TAB to switch between FSX and Firefox, and somehow I made two mistakes in my reply. The first, I mentioned above, the second was puting an 8 where a 1 should have been. The coordinates are as follows:

N51^o 28.10', W0^o 28.32', and seeing as you don't use the last digit when entering them into the INS, it should have read:

N 5 1 2 8 1  INSERT  W 2 8 3  INSERT

The 727 Captain does operate in FSX:SE. So I placed the 727 at Gate 1 Heavy. It didn’t really surprise me that the INS didn’t work….

If you look at the attached image, that is the Captain Sim 727 v2.7 in FSX:SE parked at EGLL Gate 1 (Heavy), and the coordinates are entered and aligned.

One other thing. As you know, you can enter whatever coordinates you want to enter into the INS. If you enter the coordinates for some other location, instead of the actual location that the 727 is  really at, the INS will accept the coordinates, and align to it. As you know, it makes following a route impossible, because it will track to where it believes that Waypoint 1 is in relation to where the INS was aligned. :(
