I'm considering buying the TDS GTNXi specifically for the Carenado C210, and I'd like to know if it's fully compatible with the aircraft in X-Plane 12 (I'm using the REP version).

If anyone has a screenshot of the TDS GTNXi installed in the C210, I'd really appreciate it. I'd love to see how it looks and confirm that everything works as expected.

I am purchasing a Real Sim Gear GTN750Xi for my MSFS 2024 will this program work with this add on in real time?

or is it just for the in-plane use

I've upgraded to the GTN 750Xi from the GTN 750 and the touchscreen is unresponsive if I start the flight in VR. This didn't happen with the old 750, just started with the 750Xi. If I start it in 2D mode and switch to VR it seems to be fine.

Any suggestions?
Thanks,

So both the GTN750Xi and 650Xi have blank screens. I have tested both on the Black Square Duke and the single 750Xi on the Carenado 182.
The TDS GTNXi Flight Sim app (ver 1.3.1.5) is also a little buggy for me, I can only access the Avionics page, where the 750Xi and 650Xi both show blank screens.
I cannot open the Settings or Navigraph pages (even though I have the pro upgrade)
Along with that app, it does show when connected to MSFS2024 though.

Regarding the Garmin trainer package, the trainers work fine, they pop out and begin their demo.

As read on a different thread, I took a flight around the block to gather some logging, however the log does not show more granular info, just that the sim was started and that it ended.

Antivirus whitelist has been configured, I added both the Garmin trainer and the TDS folders to the exception list.

Not sure what else to do.

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.]]>

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.

Thanks all!

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?

Thanks!]]>

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 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]]>
