Alberto, unfortunately the current VC integration of Civa INS is a dummy one. So you can't turn any knobs on the overhead.

You can only go with the 2D panels if you have activated the other panel.cfg file coming with the 1.1 version.

I think that this thread already includes some tips to get it done, just read on 

Tim, hard work at unsuitable times is what a Captain's live is made off. Never mind the clock, always mind the safety of your passengers (I hope you had some). 

Does it give you an error code then? Check all digits.

It talks to you but only uses numbers (which are described in the very good docs coming with it in the Civa\Docs folder).
My major faults when using the INS are
- wrong coordinates at "position", it therefor stops alignment
- no fresh entry of those coordinates (even when the right ones are already shown) on both units. It tends to stop there too.

I also recommend everyone to use the small hidden button on the units to get a full alignment in less time. Just hover over the srews of the units and discover this big help.

The "DisplayedStatus" pdf in Civa\Docs might help if alignment just stops and you want to find out the reason for this behavior.

The 6 to 5 phase is the critical one on the INS. If no green "nav" lights come up, user mistakes are the most possibly source of errors.

Same for me, after one flight the INS wouldnt start anymore. I added this line mentioned above and now it seems to work again.

I don't recall ever seeing any numbers. I just turn it on to standby for a couple of minutes, then to align. I wait until the green READY light comes on and away I go (after entering my waypoints of course).

I had this behavior too that it got stuck at 6. But my plane "jumped" on the ground, so I think this was the cause. Now at another airport, where I havnt got a low-riding 707, it counts below 6 very nicely!

Dont know what my FSX did, maybe reloaded the scenery and afterward my plane startet to jump. Or it might be a problem with the add-on scenery itself due to a higher ground-level than the original FSX-standard-airport...

Before I installed CIVA.INS to 707 1.1 I was having  perfect flights. Now, I am having difficulties with flashing graphics as soon as I click the "Space Bar" on my keyboard. I am hoping Captain Sim will solve this problem soon.

So, I put the 707 1.1 in the hangar and pulled out 707 1.0. Here I go again. Like I didn't learn my lesson from CIVA.INS problem in 707 1.1, I installed CIVA,INS to 707.1.0. Good news is there are no flashing graphics, but there is a catch 22 in 707 1.0.

I shot engines to load CIVA INS. All went accordingly; in 7 minutes I received the "Green Light" and switched to NAV mode.
Now I am in engine starting mode. Whatever I try,  engine doesn't start. I shut down CIVA.INS and reloaded the 707 through select aircraft bar and tried to start engine.  In one attempt all engines started.  I have to shut down engines again to start CIVA.INS. Waited another 10 minutes; tried to start engines; no luck. That is the Catch 22:  in order to load CIVA, I have to shut down;  once I shut down, engines don't start.   

I already generated K# for CS. Am I the only one having this problem?
I will appreciate your input.
