Black Screens on XP11, Normal on XP12 - ItchyEye - 01-31-2026
I got an interesting problem with my x-plane 11 installation of the GTNXI. Antivirus turned off, installation into x-plane 11 and x-plane 12 had no errors. Loaded up the default Cessna 172 and all is well in x-plane 12. However, X plane 11 only gives me black screens. Nothing in the suggest errors. Also, I only have the tds Plug in active. No other Plugins.
Any help is appreciated

Hello,
We think that we may have found the cause of the issue, being related (somehow) to the Steam version of X-Plane 11, the regular Laminar Store version has been working correctly.
Thanks to the help of a community user, a bug fix has been implemented in the existing version 1.0.1.2 of the TDS GTNXi XPlane and re-uploaded. So a simple reinstall using the TDS GPS Manager should solve the issue. Please let us know how it goes and we thank you for your time.
