It’s official: the TDS GTNXi Pro is now fully compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024! After facing some challenges, this beloved avionics add-on is ready to upgrade your virtual cockpit in the new sim.
When MSFS 2024 launched, the TDS GTNXi Pro faced some hurdles, primarily a WASM bug that hampered external gauges. After that issue was resolved, the third patch for MSFS 2024 (version 1.2.7.0) introduced another problem, temporarily blocking the GTNXi’s display functionality.
Fortunately, thanks to a clever workaround provided by community developer JoshC_FSim, the TDS GTNXi Pro is now back in action. TDS Sim Software has used this opportunity to roll out the MSFS 2024-compatible version, ensuring simmers can dive right into the new simulator without further delays.
What Makes the TDS GTNXi Pro Special?
The TDS GTNXi Pro is a detailed simulation of Garmin’s GTN 750Xi and 650Xi units and brings a comprehensive and easy-to-use avionics suite to your GA aircraft of choice. Key features include:
- Autopilot Integration: Enables smooth, fully coupled LPV approaches.
- Virtual Cockpit Integration: Operate the system seamlessly within supported aircraft.
- Geo-referenced Charts: Displays approach plates overlaid on your navigation map.
- Updateable Navigation Database: Keeps you flying with current data, powered by Navigraph.
Getting Started
To use the TDS GTNXi Pro with MSFS 2024, follow these steps:
- Download TDS GPS Manager: Version 1.0.1.3 is required and can be downloaded from the TDS Sim Software website.
- Update to GTNXi Pro Version 1.2.0.0
- Own the Pro Upgrade: Base model users will need this upgrade for MSFS 2024 compatibility.
Once installed, the GTNXi Pro will work seamlessly across both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024, switching between platforms automatically.
Following this breakthrough that brings the GTNXi Pro to MSFS 2024, TDS Sim Software is already exploring how to incorporate MSFS 2024’s new features into the system. While no specific updates have been announced, users can expect continued development aimed at enhancing realism and functionality.
Pricing and Availability
Current Pro users can transition to MSFS 2024 at no extra cost, but base model users must upgrade to Pro for compatibility with MSFS 2024. Existing TDS GTNXi users can upgrade to the Pro version for €24.95, while new users can purchase it outright for €64.95. A Navigraph subscription is required to access the updateable navigation database and charts.
