August 29, 200718 yr Hi all,I am trying to get to grips with the CIVA INS in the amazing B732. However, I can never seem to get it to start alignment. The biggest problem is that it will not accept my Lon co-ordinate, if I try to press W or E on the POS page nothing happens. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I have outlined the procedure I am following below:1) Establish power - APU or Ground Power2) Rotate INS knob to Standby3) Test INS lights, check everything in DSRTK/STS page, etc4) Call up POS page and ensure waypoint selector is set to 0 (I have tried it with other numbers too but still it dosen't work)5) Press N or S and enter latitude6) Press INSERT. The latitude shows up in the right window7) Press W or E and try to enter longitude (spelling? sorry)...however nothing happens. The E in the right window does not change to a W and the numbers do not appear. The INSERT button lights but they still do not appear in the window when I press it.I have tried re-installing the INS as a last resort but the problem persists, so I can only assume it is something I am doing wrong. Can anyone help me out?Many thanks.Dave
August 29, 200718 yr The uusual cause of this problem is people pressing the INSERT key prior to entering the latitude, or people pressing the INSERT key twice after entering the latitude.Waypoint selector has no effect on entry of present position.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
August 30, 200718 yr Hi,That's sorted it! Thanks. Another quick question, is the RAD/NAV button beside the HSI a toggle between the FS9 NAV/GPS functions or is it a toggle between the 737's radio and INS units? The reason I ask is that I was doing a flight today with the button set to NAV, and couldn't figure out if the aircraft was following the INS or the FS9 GPS.Dave
