Reply to "DCS won't detect engines but adds a "phantom" engine instead"

VARODDER, did you somehow loose super mode between your TIU's? If I forget to power down (aux. and fixed 1) on my layout TIU, when I am adding an engine to the remote in my work shop with my test track TIU, I will get the MTC soft keys. Both TIU's are set to address 1. I tried setting one of the TIU's to address 2, but still had issues if both were powered up when I was running the layout. So I just have to make sure only one TIU is powered up at a time. When I see the MTC softkeys I know immediately I left the layout TIU powered up. So I shut it down and delete the added address that gave the MTC soft keys, from the remote, before trying to add the engine again. It then adds correctly.
