TDS GTN 750 going on and off
-
Hello,
Have you contacted TDS Sim Software for this issue, as we have received an identical report and we are communicating with the user. We suggest contacting TDS support if you have not and we will gladly assist so you can fully use the TDS GTNXi Pro with the Bonanza/Baron by Black Square!
@tiberiu11 Thank you for your amazing support, here! I've been meaning to ask you to let us know if there is anything we can do to help you provide support to your users on this forum, like a sticky-topic, or any links for TDS support that you would like me to send people to. Thank you!

That's an interesting observation. The electrical circuits are set correctly, and everything is working as expected on my end. Were you able to get in touch with TDS to brainstorm with their other user reporting the same issue?
-
That's unfortunate, since it's an issue I can't reproduce. If you wanted to investigate further, do you have any experience with developer mode? Looking at the electrical circuits for COM1 and COM2 when this happens and when you pull the breakers might give us a hint.

Hi, I'm experiencing a variant of this issue. Both TDS and PMS50 GTN don't load well. Sometimes they try to switch on after connecting avionics but in a few seconds they disconnect and don't reappear again. Both work fine in the Dukes. The 530 also does not load in this situation, but the 430 does load.

@Villajota I'm still hoping this is something at the TDS level, since I don't think there's anything different about how these new aircraft are configured, but since you suggest that other GPS units are involved too, have you tried temporarily removing the TDS package from your community folder to see if the others then work? That could help us narrow it down.

Hi, @Black-Square , let me share my tests so far:
- I have uninstalled completely TDS ==> GNS 530, PMS GTN 750 and PMS GTN 650 work fine in Bonanza TC and Bonanza TP, but not in the ordinary A36. They just light up for a few seconds but then turn off.
- TDS reinstalled completely again =>
=> In Bonanza A36: PMS GTN 750 & 650 don't work. GNS 530 does not work. TDS GTN 750 doesn't load and TDS GTN 650 loads but works erratically, not quite fine.
=> In Bonanza A36 TC: PMS GTN 750 & 650 work fine. GNS 530 works fine. TDS GTN 750 works fine and TDS GTN 650 loads but works erratically, not quite fine.
=> In Bonanza B36 TP: Same behaviour as in A36 TC.
To be sure I have downloaded / installed last versions of everything before tests.
Hope this helps, regards,

@Villajota Thanks for the investigation! Your help is much appreciated when I can't reproduce these issues myself.
This doesn't quite follow with your reported symptoms, but are you sure you don't have any hardware bound to any electrical circuits, or avionics switches?

@Black-Square, no, I have a Bravo but all buttons are unmapped because all buttons and switches are managed by Stream Deck. I've double checked it anyway.
