I'm cruising along at Mach2.02 and get a phone call. Come back to FSX and my Concorde is 340 miles straight off course because I wasn't there to load the next ADEU card.

 

So I load the next card and punch in the waypoints (6 and 7) I want to fly but the Concorde does not by itself turn around and try to refly that waypoint leg I punched in.

 

Shouldn't the flight director automatically have turned around the plane and head towards waypoint 6 then once reached, head towards waypoint 7?

To get from where you are to the next waypoint rather than put in Waypoint 6 to Waypoint 7 you put in Waypoint 0 (zero) to Waypoint 7.  The CIVA INS will treat the 0 as you current location.  Works great when ATC gives you a Direct To waypoint as well.

Bah, can't get this speedbird to respond. CIVA looks all proper but punching in 0-7, the plane does nothing, just keeps going straight. I'm guessing it may be because I'm starting from a loaded save file, not a from one continuous flight.

That is really strange, it should work.  0-7 Enter so the INS display shows 0-7.  you need to have INS selected in the Autopilot.

If you are using the CIVA system you need to  select HDG in the autopilot surely?  If you loaded it correctly, 0-7 should work but if you are far off track it might not. You should be on an intercept to the desired track - a GPS it is not!

I'm 300nm off track when I punch in 0-7, so maybe I'm too far off track. Not aware that there was a distance limitation to the INS.

In ConcordeX you select INS to have the CIVA INS fly the route.  HDG mode will just fly the heading selected and will not follow the INS route. 

 

If you are off track the best place to start is by reviewing the individual waypoint LAT LON to make sure you are heading the where you think you are heading.  I may have some erroneous data in the waypoint from another card.

  If you loaded it correctly, 0-7 should work but if you are far off track it might not. You should be on an intercept to the desired track - a GPS it is not! 

 

This is my problem and worked. Not sure what the distance limit is but INS appears to demand nearness to course or it will not go to proper course.

 

Soon as I was near my course, I tried it again and all tracked properly.
