TDS vs PMS50

Featured Replies

Has either (TDS or PMS) announced if they'll work with 24 when it comes out or a new separate purchase would be required?

Does TDS now support weather radar? That was the one feature I thought PMS had an advantage over TDS.

PMS don't expect any issues with 2024, but as yet can't confirm to be 100% certain about it.

Out of interest, where does the TDS get it's airports data from? Is it all from Navigraph or does it use the Garmin database for that.

I think it's included in the Garmin trainer database. With the TDS Pro version, one can use Navigraph Hub to update AIRAC monthly.

Thanks, wasn't sure if the airports came from Garmin or it took them from the AIRAC.

I fly in VR and the TDS is fine.

I have a HP Reverb G2 though and not an Aero.  Do you run any turbo mode or similar feature with the Aero?  Typically if the GPU is saturated the TDS will become a little laggy.  This is unfortunately a side effect of the base sim not supporting WASM multi-threading.  Isn't the Aero like 8k per eye?  I think mine is only 4k but I run a RTX 4080 and it's fine.
