Great Tutorial, But What happened?

[Crunchmeister]

Hi and thanks.  I too use the GTN750Xi in standalone mode on a separate touchscreen monitor.  However, what you describe is interesting, i.e. using the TDS GTNXi externally, and use the PMS50 GTN750 in the VC just "for looks." I thought that having both files in the Community folder, would mess things up.  But I guess, if it works for you, I will try it.

Thanks again.

It works fine. I've been doing this way for many months and never had an issue. The TDS is what's controlling your plane as long as you have the TDS selected as the primary control in its settings app.

And like I said, you can use things like Nexrad and weather radar in the VC using the PMS, which the TDS can't do. So it's got its advantages as well as just looking good in the cockpit.
