Hi, I posted this problem inadvertently on the PFE support forum a couple of weeks ago and I still have the problem despite reviewing as many others as I could find with a similar problem.
I am using P3D v4.5 (with HF including HF3 but the problem existed prior HF3). I am running Pf3 with MCE. Originally both worked fine but quite some weeks ago TGS stopped working and I cannot recall if any other changes or additions occurred in the sim around that time. I have tested it with the PMDG 737 NGX, 737 NGXu as well as the Aerosoft Airbus A320. The time of my first post I did test and find that that TGS worked independently of MCE so it seemed to be a conflict of integration?
I have attached a short log which I ran only to the point where TGS should have commenced but then waited 15 minutes before closing the sim.
Any assistance certainly appreciated!
Robert

Very strange. Please check in the PF3\Data folder to see if the file "tgs_array.dat" is being created. This should occur once you receive taxi instructions

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

Sorry I forgot all about this one. So the file is created each time you get to the point in your flight where you receive taxi instructions? Rather than it being an old file. Try deleting it to ensure it gets recreated.

Thanks for the follow-up Dave. A good question it seems. It has not re-created the file.
Background: I deleted the old tgs_array.dat file, set up the same situation as previously, got clearance, startup and pushback, taxi clearance etc and taxied to the runway closing it down when cleared for takeoff. No tgs, otherwise (with MCE) all working as usual.
I'll await your next suggestion!
Cheers,
Robert.

Very strange. There aren't any error messages in the log. I notice in you OP you stated

Now I don't know anything about MCE but have you mentioned this to their support? It's always possible they're doing something to the PF3 INI file to prevent TGS from starting.

Have you tried running without MCE to see if the issue still exists?

Thanks again Dave, yes I should have mentioned in my last post that I did try Pf3 without MCE and it all worked fine so the problem does come back to the interface between the two. It has helped me to know that all has been checked at your end and so I can now work from the MCE end and hopefully find where the obstruction lies.
Keep safe over there, we are more fortunate in Australia and beginning to emerge.
Robert.

Keep us updated please Robert.

Glad to know things are going the right away 'down under', we have a lot of family there in Melbourne and Sydney.
