F1's GTN Complete v2.14 released

[edpatino 1,969]

Hi guys:

F1 just announced two days ago that a new version of the GTN Complete product has been released. The new version v2.14 is now supporting the newest Garmin PC Trainer v2.7.0.0 also recently released.

Does anyone has tried to successfully perform this update?. Could you please post the steps used for a successful update?

Regretfully, to me the F1 support people seem to be a little cryptic with the update instructions and several users have started to post questions after having failing updates.

Cheers, Ed

just done it this morning, used the flight1 purchase tool,

Run the tool as admin

I deleted the previous version ( download history ie ver 2.13) within the tool.

Run the download ver 2.14

you will get a message to up date the Garmin trainer ( so you need to uninstall the previous ver package 2.6) so the F1 update tool directs you to the Garmin download page.

Install the gamin package 2.7

What's cool with the Garmin trainer is that it has an update option if you run the Garmin utility from the Windows start menu.

Not seeing that in my 'start menu' , if I click on the Shortcut 'Garmin  Aviation Trainers'  (and run as Admin, otherwise it wont run) and  click on about there is an update check there.

Thanks Bob, very useful. Will try later today.

Posted the same questions at the F1 forums and nothing heard yet from F1 support, the worse of them all!. If seems F1 is charged money for each word they use to give explanations to their customers.

Cheers, Ed

I updated F1‘s  GTN complete through their purchase tool as well as the Garmin Trainer and everything works fine.

Why does updating the GTN and Trainer send chills down my spine?

You're not the only one...

Got it re-installed after my fourth attempt...first time I had to disable MS Defender A/V to install.

What improvements do the F1 GTN and Garmin Trainer updates provide, or are these mainly minor 'bug fix' updates?

Thx,

Al

According to the F1 site, not many improvements, only minor bugs and added compatibility with the most recent Garmin PC Trainer.

You're not alone!. Apart of this, very, VERY bad F1 support.

Well, unless the new Garmin Trainer has some significant improvement(s) to offer, I may just hold off on risking the agony of updating for a while.

I see RXP has just put out a GTN750 update as well. RXP updates go a lot smoother in my experience.

Thx Ed,

Al

Yeah, I got tired of those chills.  So I moved to RXP and no more chills! 👍
