Hello @tttocs Thank you for the information, based on your report, as well as the entire system working well a few weeks ago, we think that this may be a coincidence from the TDS side.

Hello @tttocs , Thank you for the information, unfortunately the exclusions posted are not what it is needed in terms of performance improvements, so there is no benefit with what you have now. The correct exclusions, as Processes are: gtn_simualtor.exe FlightSimulator.exe FlightSimulator2024.exe @markcellis No, this is not a window focus issue, but rather an antivirus issue, which can be easily solved, as described in the TDS GTNXi Pro PDF manual, by setting the correct Process exclusions, we strongly recommend that all users set those exclusions. Of course, temporarily disabling real-time protection of Windows Defender/antivirus will provide the same performance improvements, but this should be run only as a brief performance test, if desired.

Hello, From the TDS end, we would like to discuss the performance improvements (antivirus exclusions) for your specific case. Please provide us with details on the antivirus and the exact exclusions that you have added.

Hello Jack, I have just tested your exact scenario and the A2A's HSI is displaying correctly when in VLOC mode. I am afraid that the issue may be someplace else, as when the TDS GTNXi is in VLOC mode, we do not override the HSI, whatever MSFS sets the AVars, the A2A HSI will show, so it never goes through us.

Hello, If you are experiencing TDS GTNXi installation/database issues, please contact us (TDS support), preferably via Discord, but email/support forum work as well and we will gladly help you.

Hello, From the TDS Sim Software end, we have a full SDK available, along with a 3d model/textures for both the 750Xi and 650Xi, so it can be easily integrated into aircraft add-ons. Trough this message we offer our full availability for a TDS GTNXi integration to @Hangar Studios 713 and any other developer interested. At TDS Sim Software we have worked really hard to make the integration of the TDS GTNXi is very easy for aircraft developers!

Hello @Jack_Sawyer, We are glad to hear that the question got cleared up and that you are able to fully utilize the crossfill feature of the TDS GTNXi Pro! As always, please enjoy the TDS GTNXi Pro!

Hello Jack, We do not know on the user waypoint deletion, as this is based on the current PC Trainer version installed, as if you have an older PC Trainer, then the file could be overwritten, in which case, backing up the files mentioned above is a good idea. We will continue this discussion via email. In regards to Crossfill, this is detailed in the real GTNXi PC Trainer manual, which can be accessed from the base Aviation Trainer Launcher, Help tab. Also the TDS GTNXi PDF manual has information crossfill. For anybody interested, as stated in multiple places, the GTNXi PC Trainer V20.42 is the minimum PC Trainer required for crossfill to function!

Hello Jack, This upgrade is for the MSFS 2020 version as well, so you will receive all the TDS benefits of the Pro Upgrade in MSFS 2020 as well, such as crossfill. It is not a problem if you do not use MSFS 2024. Yes, it is a paid upgrade, you will find a Buy Now button at the bottom of this webpage: https://tdssim.com/ProUpgrade/main

Hello Jack, This makes total sense, you have been creating user waypoints in the GTN750Xi Unit 2 and not the GTN 750XI Unit 1. Since you do not have the Pro Upgrade\Crossfill, you would not see the waypoints in the GTN750Xi Unit 1. Crossfill allows for the ability of the two GTN Xi units to talk to each other, exchanging not only the flight plan data, but settings, user waypoints, etc. This is exactly what you have been asking for and the TDS GTNXi Pro features crossfill to the aviation level of detail. Please find this link with information on crosfill: https://tdssim.com/ProUpgrade/crossfill It seems that you do now own the Pro Upgrade. We describe all that it offers here: https://tdssim.com/ProUpgrade/main You can confirm the status by looking in the main TDS GTNXi interface, where you will see Pro Upgrade: Not installed. Since you are not comfortable with copying .dat files/flash, we would recommend caution, at best. Yes, it would mean copying the .dat file from one folder to the other. Best regards.

Hello Jack, We have discussed in the past via email; you can always email me! We do offer other means of support than Discord, while Discord is the primary means of communication, we have a dedicated support email address as well which customers can utilize if they do not want to use Discord, this is stated in our PDF manual as well as other public places. let's clarify the user waypoints, in fact the per-unit settings. The TDS GTNXi is envisioned as a 4 system unit: GTN750XI Unit 1 ->Navigator_XI_1 GTN750XI Unit 2->Navigator_XI_2 GTN650XI Unit 1 ->Navigator_XI_3 GTN650XI Unit 2 ->Navigator_XI_4 Each unit has its own settings and user waypoints. Creating user waypoints on one unit will save them in the system flash of the respective unit. Which unit were you using for the helicopter? With the introduction of the TDS GTNXi Pro and crossfill, if you run two units in the same panel, each custom user waypoint/setting will get transferred to the second GTNXi unit. For example if you run the default MSFS EC135 which contains the 750Xi Unit 1 and 650Xi Unit 2 and create a user waypoint in the 750, it will automatically transfer to the 650Xi Unit 2. In your case, most likely, the user waypoint is created on a unit and in the other aircraft you are trying to open it form another unit which not having the TDS GTNXi Pro or the Pro Upgrade; just the base TDS GTNXi. The quickest solution is to utilize crossfill. If not, we have an unofficial guide to handling user waypoints, but please note, messing with the system flash files will not provide any tech support from TDS. If you are able to determine which unit you have used, you can copy the udb_wpt_v3.dat to the other units: "C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Trainers\Navigator_XI_?\winfs_mount\emmc0" Where the "?" is the unit number, according to the lookup list above. Hopefully this should clear things up. We thank you for your question, the TDS GTNXi Pro works exactly as the real world unit!

This is fully understood and we hope that the exchange rate will improve, in the future. To clarify the matter, from the TDS side, an active internet connection to utilize our software is not necessary. The only drawback is the loss of the live worldwide METAR data, as displayed in the TDS GTNXi Airport Info page!

Does the TDS GTNXi work in other aircraft? So we would not deter this thread, can you please contact our tech support via Discord/email. We need the log file from My Documents: TDSGTNXPlaneLog.txt Not to worry, we will find a solution, we always do!

Can you please reinstall the TDS GTNXI XPlane version 1.0.0.7 from the TDS GPS Manager?

Hello, From the TDS Sim Software side, we would like to clarify a few items. We are grateful of the collaboration with Navigraph as well as being able to offer a fully updateable navigation database as well as worldwide navigation charts, as part of Navigraph. This has been a game changer for the TDS GTNXi and after all these years, it is great that users have the option to stay current with navdata and charts in the TDS GTNXi, thus being able to offer a complete solution. While we strongly encourage Navigraph, it is not mandatory for the TDS GTNXi to function. A subscription is not mandatory to run the TDS GTNXi, as the navdata provided with the TDS GTNXi works just fine, at a fixed navdata cycle of 2302 at the time of writing. The applies to charts, the user can always switch to the provided North American FliteCharts. This way the TDS GTNXi provides options to those users who want to experiment the product and decide, in the future, for a Navigraph subscription. From the TDS end, we are working on continually improving the TDS GTNXi with many more new and exciting features. Through this message, we would like to thank the entire C90B Evo team for creating the great aircraft package mod, as well as supporting the TDS GTNXi utizlizing the innovative X-Plane 12 Custom Avionics Devices!

Hello Bob, The TDS GTNXi XPlane has a Legacy VC feature, which automatically detects a legacy GTN bezel installation and thus utilizes it for a true virtual cockpit integration; which includes the working 3d knobs/keys. This works in almost all add-on aircraft for X-Plane, with very few exceptions, where there is some GTN hard coding in place. The JustFlight BAE146 should work just fine with the Legacy VC feature of the TDS GTNXi XPlane! In case you have any specific questions, do not hesitate to address them to us!

Hello, Simbrief does not export procedures (SIDs/STARs/IAPs) as part of the GFP flight plan, hence why the TDS GTNXi Pro does not load them. The rest of the flight plan is imported, so we suggest that you manually load the desired procedures, after importing the GFP flight plan. For technical clarifications, we would suggest contacting Simbrief/Navigraph support.

Hello, Thank you for your question in regards to better helicopter support for the TDS GTNXi. Right at this moment, what you are asking for, is not part of the TDS GTNXi. This is a great feature idea, we thank you for this request. As with all TDS features, we will not make promises, but please be on the lookout for public news/release notes in future releases. The TDS GTNXi Pro is under continued development, with great features coming!

Hello, From the TDS Sim Software side, we have no ability to control the default GPS upon startup. In the case of the Carenado 172, this is a state bug where the GPS selection does not get saved and this bug must be fixed from Carenado's side.

Thank you very much for your kind words, we appreciate them! There are already 9 default MSFS 2024 aircraft with TDS GTNXi Pro support, the list is ever growing. Please refer to this link: https://tdssim.com/ProUpgrade/msfs2024mods Which we update regularly as new integrations become available!

This is as @ryanbatchas stated, the METAR has been a server format bug, which we have fixed. The TDS GTNXi Pro has been updated to version 1.3.0.3 with this bug fix and many more, as well as support for a new MSFS 2024 default helicopter, the Robinson R66 Turbine! As always, please enjoy the TDS GTNXi Pro, now with crossfill!

Please make sure to update the GTNXi PC Trainer to version 20.42.2 as crossfill will not work with older PC Trainer versions.

The previous versions of the Dukes had incorrect internal assignments of the GTN650Xi as a Unit 1 instead of a Unit 2. While we had some internal code to still run crossfill, it was a technically limiting factor which had to be fixed and it got fixed. Through this we want to thank Black Square for the expedite assistance in getting this sorted, as always!

Hello, Does the TDS GTNXi Pro function as VC integrated in other MSFS 2024 aircraft add-ons?

Hello, After further investigation, we have determined this to be a recent TDS GTNXi bug. It will be fixed in the next version, which we hope to release very soon.
