GTNXi Issue After Drive Failure
#1
Greetings.

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\

Please help so I can use the GTNXi again.

Kindest regards,

Glenn

Hello Glenn,

We can not discuss issue number 1 publicly due to privacy, so please contact us via DM @TDSSim on Discord or via email: support@tdssim.com
There are no issues in this regards.

Regarding issue number 2, most likely some remnants of the past XPlane 12 installation are on your machine. Please access this file:
C:\Users\Cristina\AppData\Local\x-plane_install_12.txt

where %username% is your username. Make note of multiple XPlane paths and delete the ones that are not active anymore.
Important note: the first path (topmost) should be the one that the TDS GPS Manager will use to install the TDS GTNXi.
After making the modifications, start the TDS GPS Manager and reinstall the TDS GTNXi XPlane.

Please let us know how it goes.
