How do I update the TDS GPS Manager?
I went into my account and there is no link to download it. All it does is show instructions to download it but no actual link.
I have 2 issues that hopefully can be easily remedied.
1. I never received an activation email to gain access to this forum to post about my problem. My primary email address that I used when registering is gbwilk'at'bellsouth.net (left out the proper symbol to prevent bot spams). I made sure it was not sent to the spam folder. I have had similar issues with other sites where att/yahoo must have them on a black list and blocked the emails. To solve this, I used my alternate email - libertyairva02'at'gmail.com. I promptly received the activation email when I created a new account with this email address.
2. My c:\ drive crashed and died. I upgraded my motherboard, cpu & ram and added a new c:\ drive. I had/have the TDS GPS manager on my D:\ drive along with my xplane 12 install.
Now, I do not have the tds gtnxi plugin appearing when I run xplane 12 with the aircraft having the TDSGTN.ini where it previously worked and appeared before the c:\ drive crash.
How can I get the GTNXi to work again in Xplane 12? Do I need to uninstall the garmin trainer via control panel > uninstall programs function? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling vie the TDSGPSManager.exe but still no gtnxi in the aircraft.
Also, I was going to up[date the newest airac cycle 2506 but there is not TDS folder in app data\roaming\
I need to know if the product is fully compatible with msfs2020 and the realsimgear 750 panel. I tried the competitor's software and I can't get the buttons to respond after pulling it to another screen with POP UP MANAGER. I don't want to have to buy it and not be able to use it. I tried writing to facebook and no one responds, the discord link doesn't work for me and as far as I can see there is no demo either.
I am waiting for your answer
Thank you very much
Hello TDS, I'm on Win 11 and have just updated to v1.2.0.8 Mngr v1.0.1.4.
I can't get the TDS GTNxi to show in the C182Q. I have reinstalled TDS and been to the msfs store and disabled and re-enabled TDS but to no avail.
Previously TDS worked well with this aircraft.
Today I had some long flight on JustFlight Bae146 with TDS GTNXi unit. after 2.5 hours of flight (plus about 1 hr ground preparation)
After landed and preparing for next leg, I noticed my no.2 unit is frozen, judging by where it shows, it froze after landing.
As No.1 unit still functioning normal, I took of, but about 10~20 min into the flight while still climbing, I noticed the No.1 unit freeze as well.
I turned off both avionic switches and back on to restart the GTNs while literally in the fly. and it worked, reset the route and fly to destination without further issue (in about an hour).
Not sure if it's one-off problem, aircraft related, or else, I probably haven't fly for so long with GTN on GA and not likely to do it soon just for testing, so I put this incident and logs here to see if you can find something out of it.
I love your product in X-plane. Just got it to replace the RXP version I had been using. I use Realsimgear products including the GTN750 as well as their hardware Audio Panel in order to match my real life 182 panel. My request is for you to add a checkbox in the settings to allow removal of Audio Panel feature if not wanted on the GTN750 (as is possible on the RXP version and in real world). I like my audio panel to have tactile buttons and I also like having those fields available for other user defined fields on the main window. Not being able to remove the audio panel as a user option is causing me to go back to RXP (which I would rather not.,,)
My last two full flights with the TDS GTNXi 750 encountered the GPS just freezing after about 30 minutes of flying time. All in MSFS2024 using the latest version of the GTNXi (but the next-to-last version of the Trainer). In each case, the critical moment was in the middle of a leg and I did not notice the event until a little later when I saw the screen frozen from a few minutes before. The two aircraft were the Carenado Bonanza F33A and the Sim Works Studios PC-12. And these two flights occurred after the release of SU2. In the first case, I simply finished the flight (perhaps two hours more) but the GPS remained frozen in the middle of a leg when it had stopped. In the second case, I simply stopped the flight.
Please be sure that I have used the TDS GTNXi very often since it was released for MSFS2020 – it is my most commonly used GPS configuration and I use it whenever appropriate. Maybe 400ish full flights. The only thing different for these last two failures after years of complete success…was the Microsoft release of SU2 on May 15, 2025. (During the last ten days I have used the GTNXi a number of times for shorter flights in these two and other aircraft with no such failures.) And knowing whether the SU2 release is important-or-not is beyond my ability.
A friend pointed out that this “sounds like” a WASM crash…but I do not know how to assess that observation. Is there anything that I can do to help debug these failures?
