I unfortunately just purchased this software and almost immediately  regretted it. I was hoping it would integrate as advertised into MSFS 2020. Sadly I must have been mistaken. I even went so far as to purchased the Piper Arrow III  as it was listed in the VC integrated cockpit list. I installed the software, update to the latest version of the Garmin GTN trainer which I have been using for years, installed and even reinstalled the TDS GPS manager and reinstalled/updated everything from there as well to no avail.
1) When I launch TDSSIM is seems to load fine. If I click on the 650 or 650 it seems to open the 650/750 screen where I can interact with the unit as I would normally
2) When I launch FS2020, TDSSIM immediately closes. when I reopen it it states that it is in gauge inset mode or something to that effect however the VC cockpit is still that of a 1967 Arrow III.
3) MSFS  has been updated
4) I have looked through the Arrow III option and found nothing that lets me use the 650/750 VC

Any help would be appreciated. So far I find this software to be not worth the effort....especially when it claims "No Need to Install any Mods blah blah blah."

Hi Guys,

I am still having trouble (given up) on trying to get my RSG unit to remember the TDS 750 window position.

At present it does not load automatically onto my Real Sim gear unit...is is supposed to/can it?

I load from the TDS GUI and then have to put the mouse onto the unit to expand it still leaving the white bar at the top..

I thought it was supposed to remember your window positioning if it was ticked in the interface menu.

Hello, I ran MSFS and saw on the TDS GTN 750 that there was an update so I ran the GTN Trainer and updated what it told me to update but I get a message of a missing file.

And even after the update it still tells me to update to 1.0.2.1 yet I have no idea how to do this.

Here’s two screens.  The first is the error message and the second is the update it’s calling for.

And the GTN 750 is still not working with the JF Warrior.  And only the warrior, it works perfectly with the C310.  In the Warrior the GPS/VLOC constantly cycles, like rapid cycling, so fast it's a blur and makes the CDI bar behave very erratically.

Please help as I use this GTN 750 more than anything in my simulator.

Hi, 

I have a hardware for GTN 750 and GTN 650 and i'd like to use with Carenado PC-12, but when i load aircraft, it loads with Gauge mode.

Is it possible to load aircraft with Gauge and Window mode ?

Another question is how to configure all buttons and knobs ?

Hi,

I just purchased the add-on and am super eager to try it. However, I can't seem to install the Trainer component. When I click download and install and select the latest version, it tries to download and then hangs (see screenshot). I can't even properly close TDS manager, only force quit to restart. My Internet is up and running.

The FlightSim component installed OK. 

I run TDS manager as admin, and disabled firewall and virus protection. I'm on Windows 11.

------------------- EDIT--------------------

I was finally able to install by downloading and installing Garmin trainer directly from Garmin. Thankfully TDS Manager recognized the default installation, and things seem to be working ok. Not great first impressions, and I am hoping to be proved wrong on my first flight now.

Hi, I followed the steps as instructed. First time it installed, I installed the flight sim version as well. In the SIM it said I have to reinstall the trainer, so I did and received the following errors.

My MSFS 2020 is from Steam.

Hi there!
I generated a flight plan in Simbrief, then opened it in LittleNavMap. I then exported it as a .gfp but when I try to open it in the GPS I get the screen below. There is nothing showing to open the flight plan- is there a step im missing? Its placed in the C:\ProgramData\TDS\GTNXi\FPL path...

I use TDS as standalone app in RSG module. The soft works perfectly on VLOC mode, but in GPS mode, the infos transmitted to the PFD are unusable, the magenta needle moves beetween 2 differents sources. Do you forecast to publish a patch to correct this bug. It is impossible to proceed to an RNAV navigation or any LPV APPROACHES.

What were the changes ? cant find any documentation on the update
