gtnxi not working in cowansim helis - JIMBO7400 - 12-27-2024

Ive been using GTM Xi for a long time in all my MSFS2020 planes and helis.  I display the 650/750 on my RealSimGear screens.  Everything works as it should EXCEPT in my latest helis -the Cowansim R66 and R22.
When i load those 2 helis the 650/750 screens go blank instantly.  If i goto the systray it appears the program is still running but i cannot load or select either device ??
the "settings" screen shows and I can adjust settings but I cant get to the screen where i can select to display the screens.
If I go back to the MSFS main menu and select another plane or heli the program again allows me to display the screens as normal.
This is obviously a problem with the Cowansim helis - 
Does anyone else have this problem ???
and / or a fix ???

Hello,

Does the TDS GTNXi work as a VC integrated option in other add-ons?
If the TDS GTNXi works fine in other aircraft, then most likely something is off with the two CowanSim helicopters. We have worked with CowanSim on a proper integration, so this should require some investigation. Can you confirm that electrical power is being sent to them?

There are two modes of operation of the TDS GTNXi: VC integrated and standalone. Whenever the TDS GTNXi is in VC integrated mode, the interface will not display the window selection for standalone mode.
(we are researching on a dual mode, but this will be in a future version if all our tests indicate a success)

Have you enabled the work in progress -> standalone mode, as shown in the release notes here in the forum?

It may be best to continue this discussion on Discord.

i dont use TDS GTNXi in the VC mode - i have the RealSimGear hardware models of the 650/750 and I display the screens there sooooo Im guessing Im in standalone mode.   This must also be the default setting since it works fine in all aircraft except the 2 from Cowansim.    Do you have a link for the standalone mode discussion ??  That sounds a bit like my situation.   ps   I am on both the TDS and the Cowansim Discord - so far nobody has a solution.   pss  the only aircraft that I have used the VC 750 is the R44 that is included in MSFS 2020- and the VC 750 does work fine AND it does NOT stop my hardware display from working.   thanks for your response

As the discussion has been initiated over at Discord, we suggest discussing only there, having this discussion in multiple places will not lead to a timely solution.
