    Didn't actually count but it that path looks dangerously close to Windows' path length limit of 255 chars. There are ways to lift that limit but I haven't tried it personally

      You can try this, but you do so at your own risk: https://www.howtogeek.com/266621/how-to-make-windows-10-accept-file-paths-over-260-characters/

        Yes, same thing here. In the cockpit I have dual 530 and 430 but, of course, no gtn750.
        And I have found no way of switching on the GPS's....

          @Ben104 Did you install the GTN750?

            I received the following error message when I installed the new V0.4.0... I also opened a support ticket. Has anyone else experienced this?

            Hello I also have the same situation.
            I changed LongPathsEnabled at the registry, but it doesn't improve.
            I'm in trouble because I can't install it.

                @RetiredMan93231 and @Marlin_0811 You have a long path to your community folder. I have a community folder in C:\Users etc. (i.e. a similar place as yours) but it is empty and I do not put community packages there. The community folder I use is E:\MSFS 2020\Community, which gives me a lot shorter path to install to than yours. That's where my Piper Arrow and GTN750 are installed to.

                I think there is a way to change where your community folder is but I can't recall how. I don't know if that's any help but hopefully it might give you a clue.

                  @Marlin_0811 You might need to restart your system after making the change.

                    @Sender46 Thank you for your advice.
                    I also think that's a good way to do it.
                    I will try to move the community folder.

                      I'm happy to report that JF's excellent responsive support staff quickly provided me with a modified installation file that now installs successfully with no errors...

                        Yes, the issue that was causing this has been sorted, so anyone else experiencing the same issue just needs to grab the product from their account and install again, sorry about that.

                          Can you please fix the overlap on ADF and DME?
                          Plane is now almost perfect! Thx

                            Indeed, 0.4.0a solves the 'black screen bug'. Thanks for prompt action!
