Hello,

I have indeed intergraded Civa's INS (single - mode) into the Herc. It works like a charm (actually I find the tech very appropriate for the Hercules cockpit)

Mind you, this is kind of a complex piece of (simulated) harware - you will need to study at least some of the included documentation to be able to operate it properly.

Pls send me a private email and I can send you my config (if this is OK with CS, that is!).

regards,

Hi,

these are the changes required to install CIVA's INS in the C130:

Change the relevant sections of your panel.cfg with the ones below:

In case anyone has problems doing the merge pls email me for help.

Hi,

It should be pretty straightforward. Nevertheless, I see no real advantage in doing so. Also, I am afraid there is limited space in the Herc to fit three CDUs, control panels etc.

If you really want to do it pls email me privately and I'll try to help you.

regards,

On the C-130 Aircraft folder there are actually 4 folders called Panel:
Panel, Panel.g , Panel.v , and Panel.vg.
Each of them have a Panel Config file.
Wich is the one to modify? 

call me stupid but what is a CIVA INS?  Seems like a navigation divise


thanks

I have integrated the CIVA INS as per the above instructions.  I have located the INS NAV switch on the Captain's main panel.  I have located the MSU and Update lights on the Navigator's station.  But I can't find where the CDU is located nor do I see any new simicons anywhere.   

Where are the simicons found and how do you get to the CDU?  Please help.  Thanks!

Mike

Thanks for the reply!  That may be it.  I will have to check that as well as my e-mail when I get home from work later today.
