MSFS, Blacksquare Analogue B350, PMS GTN750 and FSUIPC7

Hi,

I'm just letting you know of an issue that I have with the above 3 components.

Whenever I update the PMS GTN750 I am no longer able to use some of its functionality.  Specifically, after upgrading when I use functions in the Utilities page of the 750, it throws out the flight plan and disconnects the ALT and NAV functions of the autopilot.  I cannot re-add the flightplan, nor use the GPS function of the autopilot (obviously).  I can, however use basic navaid VOR navigation and ALT hold functions.  The workaround seems to be after I upgrade the 750 to uninstall FSUIPC7 (ver 7.4.11) through Windows uninstall APP feature and re-install the same version of FSUIPC7, after which the PMS GTN750 works as it should.

This is more of a 'for info' post.  If you have any thoughts, that's fine, but I am ok using the workaround.

Cheers.

This implies that when you are updating the PMS GTN750, it is somehow corrupting FSUIPC7. I am not sure how it can do that, unless it is overwriting something in the FSUIPC7 installation folder (or community WASM folder). You should maybe report this to the provider of this software.

Note that uninstalling via the windows app managemtn panel simply calls the FSUIPC7 uninstaller. You can just re-run the installer without uninstalling first, and this will do the same.

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply.

I've also reported this on the PMS GTN750 discord channel.

Copied about the uninstall procedure.

Cheers
