Has anyone added a DCS Commander to their DCS WIU/TIU?
Although I haven't done this, you should be able to have both the app/TIU/WIU and the DCS Commander active at the same time, even on the same tracks, as long as you only use the DCS Commander as the power for the tracks and run the TIU in passive mode.
However, you'll be limited to using only 6 amps of DC power, since that's how the DCS Commander works. In my opinion, it's just not worth the effort. You'd be better off using a remote alongside the app.

Barry,

Thanks for the recommendation. I didn't realize I'd be limited to 6 amps with the Commander. Too bad, I was looking forward to using the more robust thumb wheel of the Commander. I've always found the thumb wheel on the DCS remote to be a little notchy. I guess another drawback of the commander would be that I'd have to memorize the engine # address as opposed to seeing the name of the engine on the display.
