Delco Carousel IV-A Inertial Navigation System. Nicknamed "CIVA",
An inertial navigation system (INS) is a navigation aid that uses a computer, motion sensors and gyroscopes to continuously calculate via dead reckoning the position, orientation, and velocity of a the aircraft without the need for external references.
it was easily the most popular inertial navigation system used before wide adoption of GPS became possible in the 90's.
The CIVA could be found on 707, 727, some 737-100s and -200s, the DC-10 and L-1011 Tristar, and on the early 747-100, -200 and -300 variants.
This CIVA has primarily been developed to be used with the 727 series of FlyJSim. It can be installed with any other aircraft.
Features
Fully compatible with the 727 Series by FlyJSim
Realistic warmup, initialization and alignment procedures
Optional Quick-Align to get you flying instantly
All display modes modeled, including HOLD modes:
It can display ground track, ground speed, heading, drift angle, cross-track error, track-angle error, position, distance-to-go, estimated time enroute, wind speed and direction, along-track acceleration and longitudinal wind component
Automatic navigation of up to 9 waypoints
X-Plane flightplans can be loaded instead of manual waypoint entry
Single-DME updating incorporating DME elevation
Realistic position drift and smooth updating
Built-in 30-minute backup battery in case of emergency

You make what appears to be insanely complicated instantly simple and easy. Programmed a flight and took the 727 up and it worked. Thanks for this,

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for watching my friend, glad this was useful.

Great presentation on the Nav Box, very nicely and accurately explained. Flying the SID, after runway heading you sort of made up your own path. The turn to 244 was to take you to the outbound radial until you would be in position to incept the radial back to the station on the airport. As it was flown you never made it. If you look 244 places you on the course line tip which you should have flown until it centered on 190 and 12 DME. Thence onto 88 degrees to the KLO VOR and outbound on the rest of the course to your destination. While you were in the cleared airspace and above 6000 feet in clear weather, add the work load of climbing ,cleaning up, navigating, communicating, and watching your F.O. to make sure he doesn't try to kill you, you have a good game ! Now try it fully loaded on a max temperature day and things change and not in your favor. I'll be here to hold your feet to the fire, glad you made the Subs and hope you get many thousand more. Robert

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for your kind words, watching the video, and the detailed explanation. very much appreciated.

[@jagjet9153]

I know you are interested in precision and giving the most accurate representation of flying in the virtual world. Cumulo-Granite is a non-forgiving type of cloud that lurks out there for us all. I will always be happy to share my 30 plus years of flight experience and tip and tricks for survival. I have a question for you.....I have lost the ATC wizard for a script line near the top center of the screen. I have no add ons beyond aircraft and nothing since the un-commanded change. Any thoughts ? Robert

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks again Robert, very much appreciated. I am not sure I follow your problem description, are you getting an error message of some sort?

[@jagjet9153]

I will up load a short video and send you the link. Thanks in advance....

Quick comment about your style of inserting waypoints. And this goes for anyone starting with this unit: Make sure you convert arc seconds into decimal minutes (which the CIVA accepts). For instance wpt BEMKI in your flightplan has a latitude of N47 degrees, 33 minutes and 57 seconds. You will not input that as N47.33.5, but as N47.33.9 OR even N47.34.0. This is because 57 seconds is 0.95 of a minute (57/60). Granted enroute the differential is not that big - ½ minute latitude which is 0,5 NM/925 meters -but it's good practice to convert the format into the proper one for the CIVA unit.

[@aviacaoesimulacao]

Thanks! I was wondering about that!

[@roloduarte3100]

Great advice; thank you.

[@Willoz269]

Another very good video. Flew with CIVA and entered every waypoint of the SID and worked beautifully. Great fun having to recycle the waypoints as it was a long flight with 12 waypoints after the SID.

[@Q8Pilot]

Glad this was useful for your my friend, thanks for watching!

[@andrewthompson8801]

I watched a few other videos trying to learn the CIVA and I wasn't quite getting it right. Thankfully your upload showed up in my feed a few days later and was extremely helpful. I never thought to take the simbrief plan into SkyVector, I was always hunting around for the waypoint coordinates. Thanks!

[@andysim232]

last time i used this was on Concord back in early FSX. Think I ended up in Spain. Not quite JFK lol

[@mohamedabokar4384]

[@sniperdolphin1397]

Hey man, just watch your APU EGT when turning on the packs. I know it's just a sim, but when you turn on the packs, EGT always rises and can overheat. I'm a real life Flight Engineer on a military 707, so I'm speaking from experience.

[@jowenjv4463]

Hi, thanks for the precision. I was thinking the same, but not with EGT, but AMP. In the checklist, you must be careful to not go over 120A (need to verify though) with the APU. Turning both packs at the same time seems to make the AMPs near 150+A. I think there are damages modeled on this 727, but not sure.

[@mariusmadsen888]

Would be awesome to see a turtorial on the "No Nav Option" with the flyjsim 727 v3.

[@mcshiggitypilot5901]

I watched your great instructional video on the CIVA. OI may give it a whirl! Not too complicated, but looks very time consuming. Thank you.

[@ukaszczajkowski2490]

Hi. Are you going to make complete flight with CIVA (737-200)? Will be great if You make it with more than 9 waypoints to know how to add waypoint during flight. Also DME updating procedure during flight will be great to see. And most important is if its possible to make some simply STAR procedure using CIVA (for example EPRZ 10-2D from LUXAR point to RZ732)? Thank you for wideo - its very nice to watch.

Great video, Osamah. Look forward to the next instalment. Thank you.

[@Q8Pilot]

Thanks for the support Donald!

[@b320max8]

Great explanation. You didn‘t really intercept the 190 radial though...the workload in this f*%#$r is insane. Bought it a few weeks ago and my deps and apps still tend to be all over the place 😒 On the upside: Both the ZIBO and little ToLiss taste like a piece of cake now. Flying old iron really increases one’s situational awareness and understanding!

[@MelvinLeroy]

Just what I needed. This opens up a whole new set of flight options for me. What equipment code do you file? I used to think INS navigation meant /W. Now, I'm not so sure.

[@russelldiehl1893]

Hi, Nice intro to the CIVA. I have been using it in FSLabs Concorde-X in FSX, however I am looking to install it in X-Plane and I wanted to see how it compares to what I have used up until now. You can save yourself some laborious key pressing by ignoring leading zeros "0's when entering coords. Now to see if this unit can be installed on the Colimata Concorde for X-Plane.

[@n-plane]

Hi q8. Thank you so much for the video. It really helps and now i know how to use the civa ins. I just don't know how to do an ILS approach. THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Berlin5-1]

To do an ILS approach, tune the ILS frequency, switch that small switch above the altitude selector to NAV, set the autopilot to AUTO GS or AUTO APP, and that should do it.

[@tsartsaerevich]

Hello from 2024, Thanks for this guide, this video for real help me, special thanks for you

[@philippe6787]

There is a fix for the CIVA INS stutters: 1) Make a new folder on the “Airplanes” folder of XP11 and copy paste everything of the plane folder you want to fix. 2)Go to plane maker 11 3) Open the airplane’s ACF in plane maker 4) Go to panel 3-D and delete CDU739 on the top right hand side of your screen 5) Save and close plane maker and exit 6) With a text editor, open your ACF file and look for ACF/_philipp_fms_slot 0 and ACF/_philipp_fms_slot1 7) change the numbers next to them from 1 to 0 (In both) then save and exit 8) Finished!! Note: - You will now have two of the same airplanes ( one on the new folder and with the fix and then the original one) on the XP11 menu, make sure you choose the right one before flying. - The FMS in the stutter fixed version will be inoperable, so choose the original plane for that -If you have any questions: comment below. Thanks!

[@smurphy1977]

There was never an update to fix this? I was about to buy it.

[@philippe6787]

@@smurphy1977 no, philipp CIVA discontinued their updates. It’s absolutely horrible that they don’t say anything about that bug and make you pay money for it!! But the fix is pretty easy to do so u can buy it anyway if you’re interested!

[@smurphy1977]

Philippe Chartier I will certainly still get this.. thanks for posting the workaround.

[@sunnyrawal656]

Do you need to have a navigraph subscription for aligning the CIVA?

[@IronCondorSimulations]

Did you intercept the 190 radial? Just curious I did not see the needle line up? Thanks. Great video.

[@AASony]

I've noticed that too! He should have stayed at heading 244 and waited for the needle to come closer and then make a turn to intercept TRE 190 radial...You can compare his turn at 28:13 with the SID at 21:24. See how he have turned before and ended up closer to the airport than he should be. Small detail, otherwise good information and great video!

[@billsmith3850]

I did not see you maintain the 244 degree heading after DME 4 to intercept the 190 degree radial on the HSI to fly to intersection TRA.

[@omarijoseph3189]

Hi Hi Q8Pilot how are you doing? This tutorial was really set out wonderfully, very easy to follow and understand. OUTSTANDING!!

Don't quote me on this, but I believe so. However they won't always be available as 3D-integrations in the cockpit (unless the developers make it so), just a 2D popup.

Hey Q8! I havent enough money to get the a320, is it safe to get a cracked version?

[@owmikati]

Getting something cracked is up to you, but don't expect to receive encouragement to do so or any support on the product. It may even come with more problems than the legitimate version. If you just want the Airbus experience you can get the A319 which is actually $20 cheaper. If you're insisting on the FF then support the devs and save up for it.

[@alan.685]

my new hobbie is watching and learn with q8 older videos

[@Bren39]

That departure was really bungled... Why not show case just the CIVA.. simple Sid.. No need to show entering of all waypoints. Explain what each knob selection does. Enroute show how to direct and edit waypoints etc. Maybe you did these...I stopped the video after the second left turn on the Sid.

[@pizza_parker9689]

I have no idea what you are saying

[@KarlH1980]

CIVA INS = dirty word. Too many ways in XP and P3D to stay the hell away from it. Sometimes in DCS and the A-10C I don't have a choice. At least in DCS I can use the mouse and keys from the keyboard. Still..... blah! Hate it. Guess I'm a lazy modern pilot. I'd rather do VOR's than an INS system.

[@Q8Pilot]

It is very tedious, but it gives one an appreciation of what pilots had to go through back in the days, and an appreciation of how aviation has evolved thanks to technology. I would agree with you that VOR, NDB is much easier.

[@KarlH1980]

True. Nice place to visit a couple of times for the reasons you mentioned.
