I'm using the RealSimGear hardware, the 650 does load, I can use the touchscreen, and all seems normal until a second or so AFTER I hit "fly". The software momentarily shows me at my selected airport, but then the display disappears.
Back at the TDS Software it shows as in "Gauge Mode" and I can no longer edit any settings. My computer needs a restart before I can get the TDS Software running again.
Windows 11 Home
MSFS2020
JustFlight Piper Arrow III
EDIT:
Seems to work with the Cirrus, so maybe it's just a JustFlight Arrow III thing?
Thanks in advance-

Hello Tango,
Are you enabling Standalone mode, as explained in our Release notes, for version 1.0.2.5 (from this forum) WIP mode?

Yes, that is correct, please do not remove the tds-gtnxi-gauge from the MSFS Community folder, this is not needed anymore as the WIP feature ->Standalone.txt works internally.

Hello,
No, the TDS is set up to automatically accept commands from external hardware. Most likely the RSG needs to be set up with a specific ini file for TDS.
Please ask this at RSG support.

Sounds like a similar issue I had recently. I have both RSG GTN 750 & 650 operating TDS GTNXi. While flying in Black Square's Piston Duke a month or so ago, the RSG GTN650 screen all of a sudden went dark. The physical buttons/knobs still interacted with the in-sim TDS 650 screen. And, even though I could not see anything on RSG GTN650 screen, yet its touch screen still interacted with the in-sim TDS screen. I presumed it was a hardware issue and tried changing cables and switching ports to no avail. I finally sent the RSG GTN650 in to RealSimGear for repair. Their testing showed that there was nothing wrong with the unit. When I got the RSG GTN650 back and reconnected everything, the screen was back and has been working ever since. I have no idea what caused the issue, nor how the issue got resolved. I just thought I would share my experience in the event there may be something else going on.
