The WT version most definitely.  I find that the PMS version will override the WT version if both are installed.. however, better to have only one version active, for sure.

Wait, you reply that the WT 530 is when asked which is most feature rich, but then state the follwoing about the PMS50 530

Be aware that it is early going with the WT version, and the PMS GNS has been stable for quite a while.. so be prepared to fall back to it  (as I have..)

So is the WT more feature rich but the PMS version more stable, or not? If we're using the PMS50 530 are we better off sticking with it for a while or are things done better with more features working in the WT version?

My experience having installed the WT GNS 530/430 is that it immediately broke the TDS GTN750. Menu buttons became mostly un-clickable. 
 

So while the WT units are superior to the PMS GTN 530/430 mod, if you are an owner to the TDS GTNxi, it is unfortunately a no go. It’s one or the other. For me, editing every panel.cfg for King Air Analogue, C310 etc is not a good solution, not because it is difficult but you start losing track of all these little hacks and that’s when things can go pear shaped.

Agree... but you can activate the WT or PMS units (only) when you want to use them, and avoid the conflict.

I have moved the WT GNS folder to my Addons folders, so I can use the Addons Linker.

That would work. How do you move the WT GNS folder though? It is installed through the sim Content Manager so I don’t think it is in the Community folder by default?

It is in the Official Folder.   Packages/Official instead of Community.

Find it in the Official folder, and zip it up there. Move the zipped file to your addons folder and unzip. Then delete it from the Official folder.
