A Question For INS Navigation in Felis 747-200

[Murat Deniz Senol 3]

Hello everyone, hope you are all having a good day. Sorry if i ask this question in a wrong place but just want to be sure. 

 

While i was flying with Aerosoft Douglas Dc-8 in p3d, i was loading waypoints 1-9 to captain INS, and waypoints 10-18 to the first officer INS. And when i Pass over the 9th waypoint in the captain's INS, i was going to overhead panel, moving the "INS1 - INS2" switch from INS1 to INS2, and the aircraft was following the waypoints from first officer's INS. Is there a switch for this in the 747 of felis to switch between 3 INS units as Navigation source? Or if i switch from autopilot A to autopilot B, will it follow the first officer's INS waypoints? 

 

Thanks from now!

As I understand it, the B channel on the A/P should be slaved to the FO's INS.  But you need to have "remote" turned off on the INSs for them to work independently--that would not normally be done on an overwater leg, as I don't believe that you'd get a triple-mix position solution with remote turned off.

Thank you! Actually i saw there's a guarded switch below the captains gauges seeming like "INS 1  -  3", according to the manuals, it's a switch to choose which INS unit will feed the HSI. But i don't know will it make the autopilot get the navigation data to follow from the choosen unit. And was afraid to try if i cause the plane crash... (i was making my first successful full flight :D)
