Can GTNxi be installed in Thranda PC12

[raptor22]

I have the Thranda PC12 which has a panel option for the RealityXP GTN 750. I do not own this GTN750 but was wondering since the blank instrument is on the panel can I install the GTNxi in this overlay and will it function?

Hello,

Yes, the TDS GTNXi XPlane has the Legacy VC feature which enabled the TDS GTNXi into legacy GTN add-on aircraft, the Thranda PC-12 being one of them, this is enabled automatically on startup an you can always review the TDS GTNXi XPlane PDF manual from our sales website, prior to purchase.

We have tested the Thranda PC12 with the TDS GTNXi XPlane and it works just fine.

Please enjoy the TDS GTNXi XPlane!

I have just tested the TDS GTNXi in the PC-12 and it was quite iffy, far from perfect.
I have not used the Thranda PC-12 for a long time and I don't remember any issues with the TDS before. These were some of the issues I encountered.

1. I left the 750 as pop up window the last time I used the PC-12, X-Plane simple crashed with a Vulcan error. I had to edit the TDS ini file in the PC-12 aircraft folder manually to disable the pop-out. After that X-Plane started, but as soon as I tried to po the 750 out, it crashed again.
   
2. The bezel buttons and knobs on the 750 and the 650 did not work. It could be a settings issue; I did not investigate further.
   
3. I tried to add an Approach to my flight plan at my destination airport, and I just could not load and activate any approach.
   
4. I tried to add a waypoint before another waypoint and after inserting it, the inserted waypoint was blank.
   

I am on X-Plane: v12.3.3, TDS: v1.0.1.1

Hello,

We can confirm bugs 3 and 4 as current TDS bugs, we are currently working on a fix, please monitor thee release notes.

As far as bug number 1, this is not a TDS bug, but it could be X-Plane 12 related, as there is a current known bug with X-Plane and plug-ins. We would recommend reverting to a stable (non beta version), unless it has been fixed by Beta 4 which has been released a few hours ago.

As far as the keys/knobs not working, the Legacy VC feature must be enabled.

Thank you for the quick response. I'll try Beta 4 tomorrow.

I tested newest X-Plane Beta. I managed to get the pop-out window working just fine.
