I unfortunately just purchased this software and almost immediately regretted it. I was hoping it would integrate as advertised into MSFS 2020. Sadly I must have been mistaken. I even went so far as to purchased the Piper Arrow III as it was listed in the VC integrated cockpit list. I installed the software, update to the latest version of the Garmin GTN trainer which I have been using for years, installed and even reinstalled the TDS GPS manager and reinstalled/updated everything from there as well to no avail.
1) When I launch TDSSIM is seems to load fine. If I click on the 650 or 650 it seems to open the 650/750 screen where I can interact with the unit as I would normally
2) When I launch FS2020, TDSSIM immediately closes. when I reopen it it states that it is in gauge inset mode or something to that effect however the VC cockpit is still that of a 1967 Arrow III.
3) MSFS has been updated
4) I have looked through the Arrow III option and found nothing that lets me use the 650/750 VC
Any help would be appreciated. So far I find this software to be not worth the effort....especially when it claims "No Need to Install any Mods blah blah blah."
