Full Version: Hide Window Frame
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I am setting up TDSGTN in my RSG GTN750 bezel. When I choose [Hide Window Frame] in the options, the TDS window disappears completely. If I uncheck the option then the TDS window reappears. 

I am on Win11 and MSFS of course is SU10.

Hello Jim,

We apologize for the late reply. With the TDS GTNXi completely closed, can you please delete the ini file located here:
C:\ProgramData\TDS\GTNXi\FlightSimEXE

Then try again. Please let us know how it goes.

Yes and No, but I think I found an answer. As long as the TDS Control Panel and your TDS GTN750 panel are in the same PC Window, then the [Hide Window Frame] option works correctly and the GTN750 does not disappear.

However, if you try to enable the [Hide Window Frame] option AFTER you drag the TDS-GTN750 into a different screen, such as the RSG GTN750 bezel, then the GTN750 disappears when you set the option [Hide Window Frame]. 

The best solution I can find is to first drag the TDS Control Panel into the screen that you want your TDS-GTN750 to be in. (DO NOT have the [Hide Window Frame] option checkmarked when you do this).  Next, open the TDS-GTN750 panel and manipulate into the same window. Then, you can make the TDS-GTN750 panel full screen. Of course, when you do this the TDS Control Panel screen will be covered up by the full screen window so just [ALT]+[TAB] to put the Control Panel active so you can now set the option to hide the frame. At this point you can simply minimize the Control Panel window and continue the flight.

The only problem is that the ini file doesn't  (or can't) save these settings, so you have to do the whole procedure everytime you load up. I'm sure you wizards can figure out a better way, though.

Thanks

Brilliant, dragging the setup window down to the RealSimGear Device window works!  How did you figure that out???  Most excellent!
