When talking about lash-up problems is the problem with the TIU receiving the command from the remote, the TIU sending the command or the engine receiving the command from the TIU? I'm just trying to understand the problem with lash-up and various versions of the equipment.
Thanks

If your engines are in your active list, multi units can be set up in about a minute.What issues are you having?
I'm not really having any issues. In general I'm just wondering what device is causing problems for lash-ups. I know that 5.0 was to have cleared up problems, but were did the problems stem from the remote, the TIU, I don't believe it's the engines because we can't update the engines.
I am running 4.2 with rev L..these guys in the video very happy
Middle of video 5 engine westbound.
Super TIU mode has a fewe of quirks (lighting malfunctions, loss of a member engine, inconsistent smoke control), but having the member engines in the active list while building the "lash-up" is definitely what you want to do. In Super TIU mode, I've found that starting the individual engines, then building and starting the "lash-up" works consistently.
From what I've read and in my limited home testing, normal TIU mode doesn't seem to have any of the Super TIU issues (at least I haven't experienced any yet).
Matt,
The bug "loss of a member engine" had nothing to do with lashups or Super TIU mode and was corrected in DCS 23.0 and later.
It had to do with the inability of DCS to get any engine out of the Inactive List if it wasn't sitting on a powered track that was connected to the TIU with which it was associated.
This and a whole lot more is all in MTH’s “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition", available for purchase from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!
