Pop out window question - Newtie - 12-03-2025

Hi all-

The GTN is working perfect. One question..

Is there a way to open the popout window (the one that I can drag to my second monitor) with a single key/button?
Currently I open the window, have to go back to Plugins, select pop out, then drag to my second monitor. Not big deal. but would be very convenient.

Thanks, Mark

Hello Mark,

We are glad to hear that the TDS GTNXi XPlane is working fine for you.

Sure, there is the possibility to assign a key/button to pop-up each GTNXi window. This is performed from within X-Plane:
Settings\Keyboard\TDS

Toggle Windows Pop-up 1 (For Unit 1)
Toggle Windows Pop-up 2 (For Unit 2)

Please enjoy the TDS GTNXi XPlane!

Hi there. Not sure if this is the correct thread to post this in. The TDSGTNXI and X-Plane 12.3 were working fine in VR today until I upgraded to the latest version 1.0.1.0. Now it has disappeared in VR. Will there be a hot fix for this? It would be great to figure out how to get it back up and running. It loads fine in the 2D window, but not in VR. It was working in VR an hour before I downloaded the latest version. Any help greatly appreciated.

Hello,

We suggest that you search the forum as it has been discussed in a previous thread, in addition our release notes for V1.0.1.0 explain this in detail:

"New Feature: Utilization of Custom Avionics Devices for X-Plane 12. They replace the window API, thus providing better performance as well as aligning with modern X-Plane 12 drawing routines. We strongly suggest using X-Plane 12.3 or higher. Important Note: at the time of writing, when entering VR mode, the TDS GTNXi 2d pop-up will exit VR. This is a current limitation of custom avionics devices and a feature request for custom avionics devices to exist in VR mode should be addressed to the X-Plane team."
