Hi everyone

does anyone know where i can get the CIVA INS v1.4 required for SSTSIMs Concorde, 'cause when i go to simuflys site, it just comes up with an email adress and a message, which is in Spanish.

As well as this, does anyone know if there is an alternative, easier-to-understand manual out for Concorde, as i cannot comprehend the one supplied with the add-on

An help is very much appreciated

Regards

Tom

Yep, the site seems to have been taken down for some reason, but the file civa130.zip is still available from http://www.flightsim.com.

It's a great piece of software with a very steep learning curve... However, the supplied tutorial taught me all I need to know to get from A to B keeping the thing updated. Well worth doing the tutorial I can tell you, even if you are in a grotty default 737...

Thankyou Fodda

Does anyone know how i can get the Concorde into a 'cold and dark' state, so i can do the tutorial properly (i've decided to give it another go)

Again, many thanks to Fodda

Go throught the whole shutdown sequence until the aeroplane is cold and dark... Then save that state. When you want to start a cold and dark Concorde, just open that save, then when in MSFS you can change starting location, date, time, weather etc, and still be cold and dark.

I have a Flight One Cessna set up cold and dark and saved as the default flight.

Can't help any more with your particular Concorde as I use the PSS version and that has options ot start cold and dark, engines on, or cleared for take off.

NP on the CIVA link by the way.

Thankyou Fodda

i managed to get the aircraft off the ground properly, but i have 3 problems:

1) How do i install the CIVA INS, as i don't understand the manual that comes with it (i'm not particularly computer literate)

2) On the SSTSIM Concorde, where is the Secondary Air Door switch? i can't seem to find it anywhere.

and finally 3) what is the VMO?

If you could help me, i would be very grateful

Regards

I can't help you with anything specific to the SSTIM Concorde as I don't have it. I haven't flown my PSS one in a while so not sure where the secondary spill valves are, but the upper left side of the FE panels rings a bell.

As for the CIVA... I think it's just a self installing executable isn't it? I certainly don't remember any tips or tricks when I've installed it in the past.

If you're not happy with the install routine, then I daresay you'll not be happy using it. It's modelled very faithfully which means it's like programming a PET... I.e. mostly codes and lots of multi-button pushing for basic operations.

The accompanying documentation is the best you can do I'm afraid. It's a highly complicated piece of kit remember...

Okay, the INS is now up and running!

Fodda, thankyou very much for all your help

VMO = Max Operating Speed (Velocity)
