This is a great topic for me. I have a Legacy GP9 and just purchased the Cab 1L/Base 1L set but haven't set it up yet. Steady performance at very low speed is a big deal for me and my PS2's and 3's in DCS mode are inconsistent. Even in conventional, the Legacy is better than any of these. Hopefully this will carry over to command control.
Scott, This should not be the case. What do you mean inconsistent? MTH engine under DCS should track along at what ever speed setting regardless of track layout and loading on engine. G
Gman,
Yes and no. Like you said, all of my engines by themselves on a straight will obey the speed input and hold it. Add a bunch of weighted cars and 180 degrees of 036 curves and things change. Not much but they do. At 5 smph for example I have only one diesel (a PS2) that will hold rock solid steady speed everywhere on the layout. The others all need to get to 7 smph and up before they "smooth out". At lower speeds they all have trouble holding perfectly steady speed. To the casual observer it would go unnoticed but not to me. Am I overly picky about it? Absolutely, but that's how I "roll".
