August 10, 20205 yr My GNS 430 and 530 both freeze and crash Xplane after clicking ok at the self-test screen. As seen in the photo the radio frequency panel opens on the left side and then the freeze occurs. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both the 430 & 530 as well as the Garmin Trainer Lite. Re-run the Xplane installer. This happens on both 11.41 and 11.50b17 and also b13 which I was using before the upgrade to b17. I have removed all plugins from the plugin folder and still the same result. I also have the GTN 650/750 installed and they work without issue, likely as it is a different trainer involved. All Windows updates are current except the 2004 update. X-Plane log file doesn't seem to shed any light on things either. I think it is some issue with this particular machine as everything works fine on my backup install on my laptop. Not sure when things stopped working properly but they did work fine a month or so ago. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or has any ideas aside from a complete Xplane reinstall?
August 14, 20205 yr Author I have solved the problem but another question has come up. There was a flight plan in the flightplan folder: C:\ProgramData\Garmin\GNS Trainer Data\GNS\FPL. Once I removed that things start correctly. The only issue is it always starts on the import flight plan page and it didn't do that before. Any ideas on how to get it to start on the map page?
August 19, 20205 yr Hi, Just delete the FPL folder. The GNS won't find it and won't bother asking then.
