They're gun shy after promising the WIU and app for 2 years, lol

Anybody have any idea what legacy control mode does in the app? I know what it does on the remote but am not sure on the app, the reason why I ask is because I thought with the standard version you couldn't run Lionel trains on it and you have to wait till the premium app comes. Any help would be great. -Matt

Matt,

The app's function will be exactly the same as on the DCS Remote. However, it has nothing to do with Legacy engines. It puts DCS engines into legacy (conventional) mode.

Thanks for the reply, Barry! I figured that's what it did. - Matt

Guys, anything good is worth waiting for.  The man for MTH is working many hours on making the final app one that everyone will be very happy with.   This is not a back burner issue.  MTH has some high horse power guys involved in creating something that is going to be great.

Many of the questions that have been asked on the Forum regarding the Wi-Fi are covered very well in the current release of Barry's book.  I am a beta tester and have my copy of the book by my side in the train room.   

The only thing I would like to see is an app that would convert Mike Wolf into a Patriots fan.   Everything else is being worked on.

BTW, Charles Ro will have the new book at York for sale at the booth.  The copies Charlie will be selling will be signed by Barry.

Somehow I don't think that's going to happen......

Show some support for our guy building the system.   It will be great.

I know it will be, I love what hes done so far and for me it has worked quite well. The SUPER TIU mode is the only other added funtionality I need and I super excited to get it.

DCS works if done properly.  Many people like do things different.  You just stated   "it has worked quite well"  you then stated     "I am not even sure it really works yet"  

If you think you have wasted your time, you should go on to something else.    

Matt,  if you are tired of screwing around with dcs, give it up.  I for one am tired of listening of you complain.   You constantly target mth.   The more you post, the more you keep going back and forth on MTH issues.   Nobody cares how much you spend.   If you are an MTH tech,  remember the contract you signed with them.   

Here at AGHR in Los Angeles, we have 5 TIU's. All are hooked up with WIFI units awaiting the premium app. Yes that's an investment of around $900. Matt Jackson has set up an internal network handling both MTH and Lionel WIFI. Lionel works flawlessly. MTH WIFI set up on TIU #1 works incredibly well in the area that is served by TIU#1. We too are anxiously awaiting the release of the premium version. However, I think it's better to be patient and wait for a release that has been thoroughly tested by the developers and the beta users before release. I would rather not have it than have one that is full of bugs. I remember people feeling the same way prior to the release of Legacy.  I am sure that the same will be said during the DCS dinner at York. Patience my friends.

Matt and all guys reading this post.    Good things are going to happen.  I know how hard MTH is working on this app and it will be great.  When the final product is with us I am sure everyone will be very happy.    It bothers me to see people throw stones.   It will happen.

  So far I've been enjoying the MTH wifi and maybe somplace else it's been brought up and I missed it but yesterday I tried to run a loco on the second track output from the TIU and could not access the loco with the app. Just to be sure there wasn't another issue I wired the track to the track 1 output of the TIU and then everything worked fine. Is this normal for this stage of the app's development? 

Matt,

I wasnt complaining

Yes, you were. Further, it's not necessarily solely on this thread that you do so.

While I don't have a problem with people complaining about actual problems, you're complaints anticipate future problems. I suggest that you stop complaining about "what may or may not be in the future".

If these problems that you expect to materialize actually do come to pass, then you'd be completely  justified in complaining about them

Until then, how about giving it a rest?

I've had the DCS system since MTH released it to the market. Yes there were bugs in the system that MTH released patches/upgrades for and the system worked as designed. To be honest with you, I haven't had any issues with DCS other than something that I didn't do right. My wifi systems works as advertised. I will be using my wifi system with my club's layout on an upcoming show that we're having in Hickory NC. MTH will release the premium app when it is ready. Please be patient!
