Navigation database selection - HEMS Korsvold - 09-29-2023

Hi

I have just startet with MSFS 2020 this month, and almost the only reason for me to buy this simulator was the HPG H145 and a GTN 750 that uses the Garmin Trainer in the background. The TDS GTNXi!!

So many thanks for a great product!

There is still one challenge. The TDS GTNXi is locked to Jeppesen Fixed Wing navigation database. Even if the database selection is different in the Garmin Aviation Trainer Launcer (PC Trainer).
The result is that I can't fly helicopter appproach (LNAV/LPV).   

Is it possible to make TDS GTNXi offer a selection of which database to use? Or at least force the TDS GTNXi to use the same database as selected in Garmin Aviation Trainer Launcer? That would be fantastic Smile

Garmin Aviation Trainer Launcer:
Selection of a fixed wing aircraft in the Avionics tab together with Jeppesen in the settings tab will use nav_db2.bin (TDS)
Selection of a fixed wing aircraft in the Avionics tab together with Garmin in the settings tab will use nav_db2_grm.bin
Selection of Rotorcraft in the Avionics tab together with Jeppesen in the settings tab will use nav_heli_db2.bin
Selection of Rotorcraft in the Avionics tab together with Garmin in the settings tab will use nav_heli_db2_grm.bin
C:\ProgramData\Garmin\Trainers\Databases

A flightplan crossfill would also be great   Smile
I notice there allready is a crossfill of the transponder code.

Hello Andre,

Thank you, we have made a note of your features request.

RE: Navigation database selection - AANEE - 08-31-2025

Yes.

Helo Navdatabases would be nice, to be anble to fly helo approaches like PinS etc. 

We would ”only” request the TDS Gtnxi to be able to be set at a helicopter to use these, I guess.

Hello,

Thank you for your request, we fully understand and agree with it. While we do not make announcement of future features, we will not rule out this feature.

The TDS GTNXi Pro is in continued development and we strive very hard to add the most desired/requested features to our users, so they can fully enjoy the product!

RE: Navigation database selection - HEMS Korsvold - 09-01-2025

With crossfill the TDS-sim is near perfect for me.
I have also tested RF legs, and TDS-sim supports approaches with RF-legs and follows the RF-leg perfectly.

If TDS could include the choice of NAV database, it would be perfect. Either in the Settings menu or in an .ini file (like Reality XP has solved it).

Hello,

Thank you for your input, we have made a note of it.

RE: Navigation database selection - AANEE - 09-03-2025

Thanks for the swift replies, it is nice to know that you TDS guys are aware of the wishes we have.

Keep the good work up! :-)

RE: Navigation database selection - adminOwner2 - 09-03-2025

Thank you very much for your kind words, we appreciate them and we are sure that you will not be disappointed by what we have in store with the TDS GTNXi Pro moving forward!

One up for all the requests from André. I just migrated from PMS to TDS in hope of these features. That it does not work already almost seems to me like a bug (although) I understand it’s probably way more complicated than that. Anyway - we’re more people wanting this feature! Thanks in advance and for the product so far!

Hello,

Quite a lot has changed since the original poster's request. We have added crossfill to the aviation level of standard. From what we can understand, the original poster is asking for proper helicopter navdata support and you are asking as well? If so, what we have answered previously remains, we care very much about our community and what is important for them, but we are no making promises in terms of features until they are ready to be released. Please continue monitoring our news channels: social media, forum, release notes and most importantly Discord and you will find great news for the TDS GTNXi Pro.
