The Delco Carousel IV-A (CIVA) is an inertial navigation system (INS) developed by Delco Electronics and introduced in the 1970s. It automated oceanic routing by calculating the aircraft's position and velocity using gyroscopes and accelerometers, enabling precise navigation without relying on ground-based radio stations.

I think that if the game adds a "Direct To" function for the FMCs, that would get us 70% of the way to having CIVA functionality; the coordinates and the system modeling are already there—it even shows wind direction and so on. From the looks of it, it would just be a matter of configuring the buttons and the systems, I suppose. It would be great, too, since it would be useful for FMCs/MCDUs as well. (F15/F18/MB339/Airbus family/Boeing family and concorde use this type system using coordinates, others like B727 too for exp)
