Thank you for downloading my program! Those that have seen or used my v1.0 of the Civa Convertor program will know that it had some problems. Well, THIS version has fixed those problems plus added some new features. Some info:
What it costs:
Nada! Nix! Nine! Ziltch! Zippo! Hope that's cheap enough. :-) You are free to use and distribute this program as you like, provided you do NOT make any money off of it. Or, if you upload it somewhere, THEY don't require a subscription fee to access/download it. So, that means it definitely doesn't go to FSPlanet.
Although the software is free, I would not refuse any donations anyone might be willing to make. I can take them through PayPal by clicking button below:
The program has taken some time to write and I plan on continuing to develop it, so it would help with my electric bill....and to make my wife understand why I spend so much time at the computer. Haha
What it does:
Civa Convertor 2.0 (hereon called CC2) will take FS2004/FSX flightplans created by FSBuild 2.2+, FSNavigator, FS2004 default flight planner, and FSX default flight planner and convert them into a format that is readable by Civa Delco-INS v1.51 or higher. You can get this FREE software by Marco Ravanello & Gianfranco Corrias available at www.simufly.com/ins.
How to use:
When you 1st fire up CC2, you will be informed that there was no configuration file found. After clicking Ok, you'll be presented with the following screen:
As you can see, all buttons and choices, except for File->Configuration and Quit, are disabled. This is because CC2 does not know where you're folders are located. Click File->Configuration and you'll be presented with the configuration screen that looks like this:
Just click on the “click me” buttons in each section and choose the respective folders for each option. One note: The folder that contains the Civa location should ONLY be your root Civa folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Civa). CC2 will tack \ADEU\ onto that entry automatically. This entry is REQUIRED. Not much use using CC2 if you don't use Civa, huh?
Next entry is the folder where your FS2004 installation is located. If you do not have FS2004 installed, just leave the 'nil' in there and ignore it. Next, choose your FSX folder, if installed. Again, if you don't have it, dont pick one and leave the nil in there. Finally, save your work by clicking Ok.
After successfully saving your configuration, all the buttons, except for Process FlightPlan, have now become active as you can see below:
