Black Square Baron/TDS GTN 750

Featured Replies

Can't get the GTN 750 to load up in my new Baron, anyone else having this problem? All I've seen so far is a blank screen. Thanks and welcome any suggestions to get it going!

Works just fine on my system.  Does your TDS GTN work on other aircraft?

Gotta flip the switches. Over on the copilot side. About mid dash

Is the GTN app running in your Windows system tray (lower right corner of your desktop)

Also is the TDSgtnxi gauge in your Community folder?

Which GTN are you using?  TDS or PMS50?  And if you have them both installed, inactivate one of them..

I recently bought the TDS version of the 750 (real nice).

Their documentation is confusing in that it suggests the app will start automagically when running the simulator. Not so. As Ryan says, you have to run the little GTN app before the gauge will work.

Actually that is not so.. unless you deleted the MSFS EXE.xml file, there should be an entry in there to start up the TDS GTN at sim startup.

Look for:

<Launch.Addon>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>
        <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
        <Name>TDS Sim Software GTNXi Gauge Integration</Name>
        <Path>C:\ProgramData\TDS\GTNXi\FlightSimEXE\TDSGTNXiFlightSimEXE.exe</Path>
        <CommandLine>-FSIntegration</CommandLine>
        <NewConsole>True</NewConsole>
    </Launch.Addon>

In my case, the app runs automatically, I can tell because a TDS splash pic pops up during the sim loading, haven't had the need to run an app before launching the sim for the GTN to work

In case you did not solve the issue, can you please contact us on the official Discord channel/Support forum? We need more information if the TDS GTNXi works in other vc integrated aircraft. Thank you.

Check any hardware that you have.  Flip all switches and see if it will come on.  I just bought this a couple days ago and had the same issue.  Found out that there was a button assigned on my Honeycomb Bravo Throttle for Avionics Master on/off.  I removed that button assignment and now it works fine.

Regards,

The GTN app is running in the system tray but there is nothing in my community folder that says TDS on it.... I've reinstalled twice and still nothing there. 😞

Go here for support forums or preferably use discord.  It could be Windows blocking the file thinking its a virus (or your AV software).

I stand corrected. For me, I have to manually start it. I'll check the XML file...

 

I added the lines into the XML file as per Bert's example. Still no joy.

I see all the files in this directory have a little padlock on the file name (when viewed with Explorer). Thoughts?

OK, back to basics... Is the TDS GTN working in any other aircraft?
