Yes, I have it integrated on DF in FS9 and love it, so I'm
very anxious to have it work on the bird I much prefer to
fly Smiley  

Thanks so much!

Jack

While waiting to get this panel integration I went ahead and
set up the INS just using a Window 0 type approach, so its
just using the icon's to pop things up, did this just to see how
things worked...

Works great, just select the heading switch in the AP and toggle on
one of two INS and it worked great. Used dual DME updates on my
flight from KSNA-KPDX and had dead-on precision the whole trip.

Am anxious to get the panel patch so its integrated, oh and it would
be really nice to have this in the 707 out of the box guys! (hint)

Cheers,

Jack

Hello,

I'm back from UK and now I'll be able to continue the work on this.

Right now, the INS work fine but I'm searching a way about the VC integration. Right now, on the vc it's just a texture and I don't think that I'll be able to add this (clickable) on the VC without a help from CS. They must add some "Dummy" XTexture that will allow user to add some panel on the VC like the INS.

I'll back to you soon with the first version for only the 100 model.

2D Panels with texture on the VC

Yes, One thing to do and I'll make a first version for download.

I added some function to the CS Autopilote panel for interaction with the INS.

All the best

Does your textures in the VC actually update and
display current data, that would be nice, I can live
without the clickable thing, but just being able to
watch them waypoints change without a 2D popup
would be nice.

Cheers, looking for the download  Smiley

Awesome! Thanks. I will test today and give some feedback if you don't mind.

Could you give a short description of the exact changes that have to be made in the panel cfg?
Can't compare line by line, just saw two new windows and a changed one for the AP.
Just asking because the adaption to the -200 model would be fine too and maybe can be done by each user.

Again, thanks for your work.

Update after installing on the -100
Looking pretty good, installation went flawless and all units align well. Did I miss the ADEU unit or is it not implemented now?

I've manually added the ADEU unit to INS1 - should fit when INS2 is in remote mode - seems to work so far.
I've also added the icon for the ADEU
See my screenshot


Next wish: "update indicators gauge" visible

Will try your stuff on the -200 model too, should work in my understanding of things (which is very basic  Undecided)

Thanks from me too!
But something doesn't work. I only see the gauges as bitmaps; no clickable points or areas. I installed the CIVA before this already because I use the ConcordeX and the simcheck-airbus; so it was just there. But this can't be the reason for it, can it? Perhaps it is only a littel thing I didn't see? Huh

with regards Kai

Yes, Kai, you've missed something, but no problem I think.

Cthulhus told us that he has problems with an updating INS to be shown in the VC, so the only "alive" panel will be the 2D sight of it.
Seems like the FSLabs guys did some massive rework on the gauge itself to show up in their VC and be clickable too.
They also have buttons with effects on it, so far more advanced (just realized it as I saw the CIVA now in its original state).

The SimCheck Airbus doesn't use CIVA INS. Although it looks similar it works completely different and can't be compared to the CIVA (e. g. it uses no ADEU cards, doesn't drift, loads all waypoints instead of only 9, shows waypoint names and some click actions are different too).
They've stated this in their forums too because some people knowing the CIVA already were missing the DME update function and asked for it to be included in an upcoming service pack.


the 727 modification was deleted here and moved into its own thread

Hello,

Thanks guys, you can use and improve my work of course and I'm happy that I'm not alone here to hope that one day CS will offer us an INS VC integration like FS Labs did.

We don't ask CS to make a full INS but just to work with the authors of the CIVA INS gauge.

Thanks to you both, Cthulhus and CoolP, for this mod, which I'll try on my 727-200 FedEx aircraft later this evening. Much appreciated!
