Newly installed TDS GTNXi in XPlane11 using the default XPlane C172SP and just using the pop out window.
There is no way to click on the Com/Nav frequency button to switch it over to the NAV frequencies, the only functions exposed are the left/right frequency adjustment values. This makes it unusable for VOR navigation or for switching to the ILS frequency when intercepting the final approach course.
Note this is not in any way integrated into the aircraft and is only running in its own pop out window. Doesnt matter if I use the 650 or 750, both behave the same.
Hi, I have two Xplane environments - one in Steam, the other on my C:\X-Plane 12 directory. TDS GTNXi was successfully installed to the steam version. That's not what I want and it seems unusual to not be given the chance to declare the X-Plane directory for the install.
There doesn't appear to be an obvious way of directing the installation to my non-Steam version of X-Plane 12. I am certain this has come up and that I'm a rube doof for not having discovered the forum thread that solves this. Please bear with me and point me to a solution so that I can run the 750 on my primary installation.
I do not know how to screen shot but...I was flying the Blacksquare Baron and had the GTN750 on top and the GNS430 on bottom. There has ALWAYS BEEN the audio selection on the top part of the 750. I switched to radio 2 using a switch on some hardware which worked. Puzzled I looked around and NOTHING physical with being able to mouse click. Looked at the gtn 750 and on the top where the radio 1 radio 1+2 WAS is now white with DTK,TK,GS and something else? which IS ON THE MAIN PAGE ALSO. Reinstalled to all the latest. NOTHING in community TDS??? only APP DATA TDS with all the airplanes in it. Tried on MANY of the dozens of aircraft....all the same. Even if there is an audio panel or NOT the gtn is changed...HOW????? Everything I have tried does not work. Simming since 1995. All audio panels apart of the airplanes still work...IF they are there. The blacksquare Baron uses the GTN750 but it does not exist on the unit AT ALL anymore...thanks for any help
I have got to add to this..a bit slower. FLUSTERED on first try. The Carenado C210 and have the GTN750 on top and the GTN650 below. IF there is NO external audio panel it SHOULD be in the GTN750....NO GO!!!!!! Just checked and there is NO WAY to turn on the ATIS in com2 UNLESS it has been programmed to a hardware switch or something. IT DOES NOT exist in the GTN750 ANYMORE..strange strange think is on the 4 boxes that have NOW replaced it you can click on them and change them into ANYTHING EXCEPT back the way its been the last couple years. WINDOWS 11 and MSFS2020 Thanks.
SORRY ...its like my cell phone that writes its own words. The last paragraph changed and added senseless words...
The GTN starts with the battery main bus, and when I change it in the settings to Avionics it works only with the avionics bus, however, once I power cycle this, it gets back to Battery. which parameter in the config file should I alter pelase?
Hi,
I’m having repeatable crashes and blank windows when trying to pop out the TDS GTNXi 750 in X‑Plane and move it to a second monitor. System and versions
Windows 11 (fully updated)
X‑Plane 12.4.3 / 12.4.4, Vulkan with Zink
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, both monitors connected to this card
TDS GPS Manager 1.0.1.8
GTNXi PC Trainer: 20.42.2.0
X‑Plane 12 GTNXi: 1.0.1.4
Aviation Trainer: 3.10.3.0
What I’m trying to do
Load X‑Plane 12.4.x, default aircraft with GTNXi integration.
Use the TDS plugin in X‑Plane to pop out the GTN 750 window.
Drag that popped‑out GTN to my secondary monitor so I can use it there.
Problem / symptoms
When I pop out the GTN 750, X‑Plane spawns what looks like a second GTN window.
The front window is blank (no GTN display).
There appears to be another GTN window “behind” it that is actually working, but it’s completely covered by the blank one, so I can’t interact with it.
If I try to move this setup to the second monitor, X‑Plane soon crashes.
This happens whether I use the plugin menu pop‑out or the assigned keybind to toggle the pop‑up.
What I’ve already tried
Confirmed both monitors are on the same GPU (no iGPU outputs).
Ran X‑Plane in windowed mode and also tried changing graphics settings (turning Zink off, lowering textures/MSAA).
Disabled other plugins to test with only TDS and default Laminar content.
Confirmed that in at the end, consistent with a graphics/device loss when using custom avionic pop‑outs.
There is no explicit “plugin X caused this crash” line; it looks like a graphics/device crash while the GTN pop‑out is active.
Question / request
Is this a known issue with the current X‑Plane GTNXi build (custom avionic device pop‑outs on multi‑monitor setups)?
Is there a recommended way to run the GTN in a standalone/external window on a second monitor for X‑Plane (similar to how you advise MSFS users), or a beta/hotfix that addresses blank GTN pop‑ups and crashes when moved between monitors?
Thanks in advance for any guidance. I’d really like to use the GTN 750 on my second monitor with X‑Plane 12, but right now the pop‑out behavior is unusable because of the blank window and crash.
I recently got a new PC, and after reinstalling MSFS and the TDS GTNXi, the performance of the GTN display is very bad. It's slow to respond and had a very poor framerate. The framerate of the sim is fine, I easily get 50ish FPS (without framegen).
I have read and done the steps in the performance tips thread, so gtn_simulator has a windows defender exemption, but it did not make any difference. I tried popping out the window, but the issue is significantly worse if I do that, the GTN unit is even less responsive in that case.
My specs are
Graphics card: Nvidia 3090
CPU: AMD 9950x3d
Ram: 32GB ddr5
Here is a video I took of the issue, experienced with the A2A commanche:
I tried a couple other aircraft such as the Black Square baron and bonanza, and they were exactly the same.
I am on version 3.10.3.0 of the aviation trainer, 20.42.2.0 of the GTNXi PC Trainer and 1.3.1.4 of the executable
Just Bought the TDS GTN750 for xp12 and followed all instructions to install properly. However when i go to launch xplane with the plugin installed it gives a error here is a picture.
The problem only exists with the TDSGTN plugin installed when it is removed the sim launches fine here is a copy of my log.txt as well
Hi,
Every time I start TDS GPS manager there is the prompt that GTNXI PC Trainer needs update, I have updated it but Download And Update prompt are always coming back.
I have updated Manager as required also
Hello,
not sure why but I'm getting a blank screen on the GTN750XI in MSFS2024, it was working yesterday.
I believe I have the exclusions covered in windows defender.
I tried reinstalls of everything.
without even starting the sim when i try to use the trainer the screen comes up blank.
It looks like it's trying to load, but thats just a quick flash then blank screen.
maybe a windows update?
I'm attaching the three files in the documents folder.
hoprfully that will be of help.
