That unit is essentially disabled when the GTN is shown. Don't think so.. The TDS flightplan is independent of the MSFS flightplan. For my multiplayer flights, I usually load MSFS with a pln flightplan and then separately load a matching gfp flightplan into the GTN. If the VFR map shows the MSFS flightplan, so will a GNS.. The intermittent problem I am having, is that the MSFS flightplan is sometimes missing.. no real pattern I am seeing, other than I have yet to see it fail in the C172, and in the Blacksquare planes it is a 50/50 proposition..

November 7, 20232 yr Author Next step on this journey... I noticed that the panel state saving on the Blacksquare planes has also been flakey for me, so I followed the Carenado routine and hardcoded the LVars into the Runway.flt file. Two outcomes... I get the panel config correctly, and the flightplan shows on the VFR map. Too soon to call this problem solved, but I have a hunch that I am on the right path.. 😉 Bert
November 7, 20232 yr Bert, A little experimentation echoes your finding. If one starts the Black Square A36 Bonanza with (a) TDS_GTNXi and (b) GNS430 as the GPS setup and you initiate a flight in the standard MSFS2020 way from a prepared *.pln ... then the GNS430 does not pick up the flightplan. Then switch to a combination GNS530/GNS430. No surprise that no flightplan is picked up – you did not restart the flight initiation so the GPS couldn’t get assigned the flightplan on loading. So setup the GNS530/GNS430 combo and go back to the main menu and reload the flightplan. Well, the Black Square does not remember the new setup (I recall that Black Square saves the state when the simulator closes down). So you are back to the first step. Instead, set up the GNS530/GSN430 combo in a loaded flight. (You won’t have the flightplan.) Then shut down the simulator. Restart the simulator and initiate the flight from the prepared *.pln with the Black Square A36. Now the GNS530/GNS430 has been saved by Blacksquare and that combination shows up in the aircraft on loading. And after a brief wait, voila, the flightplan is nicely displayed by both GNS530 & GNS430. So a hunch that is confirmed in two different ways means ... we're still guessing. --Mike MacKuen
