CS737 and the CIVA Ins: IT WORKS!!! (Read 26473 times)

	Yes, it's true! The Civa Ins *DOES WORK* with the CS737 but with one catch...only in a *SINGLE* unit configuration. I have Win7, FSX & Acceleration installed...others need to be tested! The heading bug does not move but I have written a XML gauge that will display the heading bug offset from the aircraft's current heading. This display provides feedback if you wish to set the heading bug yourself but is not necessary. It will also show digital magnetic or true compass value. I have tested a Civa dual unit configuration and it doesn't work. I have not tested a triple unit as of yet. I know this may be disappointing to some of you out there, but having a different navigation system other than the standard GPS means we now have more choices. I personally prefer a single unit set-up as a dual set-up takes up a bit too much screen area, IMO. Now available in the Avsim Library, serch for: *Civa Ins Heading Display*

	Great find! The unit may help on some RNAV stuff or just around areas where the FSX (or rw) navaids aren't enough or lack of range. The latter being a problem with most sim ADF stations. Makes me wonder if addon FMC panels would also work. You know, some units like in the rw plane retrofits.

If simplicity is what you would like to navigate, then I suggest you use the GPS with FSX flight plans. But, if you're up for the challange, then you should definiatly check out this thread as a starting point. It goes into great detail. http://captainsim.org/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1285100008/0#9

	Wait, Paul. I think he was asking about your config. The link in the Civa thread is a good idea when it comes to all the questions on the Civa operation, but your single unit config for the 737 is what the folks are looking for I guess.

Okay, I guess I misunderstood � I've just uploaded the CivaHdgDisplay.zip gauge to the Avsim library...should be ready soon. It has the single unit configuration set-up included in the readme file. Edited: Please see first post for update.

	1.6 has broken it and it no longer works. Can set heading manually but rather defeats the purpose.

If you have any issue please give detailed explanation using Technical Support System. Tanya, indeed all problems worked out but the Delco Carousel Civa INS is not a CaptainSim product. It is 3rd party and I am just informing everyone that was using it with 1.0 that 1.6 can't be used anymore. Personally I would love for CaptainSim to take charge with navigation options on their products as other developers do such as MilItary Visualizations and provide INS, FMS, etc for your Nostalgy aircraft like you did with the L-1011. GPS only or go VOR isn't even a realistic navigation option today. Most operators of the 732, 721, 722, 703 are using FMS or INS systems. While I am happy to add third party navigation options, I would prefer it if my developer did that for me even for a price. The 703 still doesn't have a working INS. As well, since I am relying on third party options, updates to a product can void a working third party option.

	FIXED! Exchange the 1.6 Captain_Sim.x737.sys.dll for the 1.0 leaving all else unchanged if you want the option of the single Delco Carousel CIVA INS as a navigation option instead of relying on the unrealistic gps or messing with VOR radials.

	Is it possible for anybody to upload the 1.0 dll somewhere, or CS to fix this. Unbelievable to see a 1.x product not finished. Please don't make a product in the future untill is really flyable.
