We do not understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to run the TDS GTNXi Pro in standalone mode? Please provide us with more detailed, clear explanations.
I am I am trying to install TDS so that when flying the H160 helicopter in MSFS 2024 I can use TDS from both the Pilot and Co Pilot seat nav units. When I have installed the software using your supplied TDS Manager and I then start the sim; TDS works. But when I exit MSFS then restart MSFS, TDS does not work.

I am trying to install TDS so that when flying the H160 helicopter in MSFS 2024 I can use TDS from both the Pilot and Co Pilot seat nav units. When I have installed the software using your supplied TDS Manager and I then start the sim; TDS works. But when I exit MSFS then restart MSFS, TDS does not work. All I see is a black screen on both nav units.
To try to resolve the issue, I have tried the following:
- I have checked that the three folder are installed into the community folder. However I see MSFS created two community folders ‘Community’ and ‘Community2024’. Those TDS folder are created in the ‘Community Folder’ but I think that’s ok.
- I have removed all add-ins from the community folder, other than the H160 and TDS files.
- I have uninstalled then reinstalled TDS multiple times. Following an install, sometimes TDS works, but only once. Because when I exit MSFS then restart, TDS displays a black screen.
- I have checked my Norton Anti Virus and the TDS manager and TDS sim exe files are whitelisted.
- I tried to prove that the stand alone version of TDS works by running the programme before I launch MSFS. TDS does launch as expected then once MSFS is launched the stand alone TDS closes (as expected).
- I have removed the TDS gauge folder from the community folder in order to run TDS outside MSFS. I launch the TDS app and it displays the TDS software. I launch MSFS the TDS screen goes black. I did this to see whether the TDS software would run outside MSFS or not.
- I have also checked that the TDS folders are active in MSFS by checking my library in MSFS; folders are shown as installed.
