So I've had enough of trying to get the TDS GTN working with 2024, even after all the suggestions on Discord, multiple install and uninstalls I'm having no luck.

However, I can't for the life of me get the TDS splash screen to go away during MSFS2024 start up sequence and now that the program isn't installed anymore it even throws an error screen that I need to click to get past.

How can I stop MSFS from trying to start the TDS during startup?

Thanks,

Kevin

Have a look at the the exe.xml file in the LocalCache folder and see if it still is trying to start the GTN.

Here is mine:

 <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>

Thank you, we are waiting for your DM. @TDSSim

With the help of @KevinS137we have found the cause of the issue.

It seems that for reasons unknown to us, in MSFS 2024, the TDS GTNXi VC Gauge integration package (WASM) was disabled. Hence the VC integration not running.
The check can be done from within the MSFS 2024 home screen/Marketplace/My library/Community

"TDS Sim Software GTNXI VC Gauge for MSFS 2024"

The cause or the software/action is unknown to us, yet disabling the TDS GTNXi results in black screen issues to users.
We hope that this post will help other users and we thank Kevin for the patience and assistance.

As always, please enjoy the TDS GTNXi Pro!
