Greg,

There is a minimum starting variable voltage bug. It always starts at 5v, even when you set the minimum to be less.

Known and reported.

Legacy locomotive RPM ramping does not work.

Known and reported.

All engines miss watchdog signals, unless TIU is in passive mode. Doesn't matter whether voltage is applied from variable or fixed channels. I have given up and now use a Lionel Powermaster to deliver power with a passive hookup to the TIU. 

I disagree.

Aside from an occasional miss with some PS3 engines due to their individual firmware, watchdog response at power-up typically is correct.

DCS engine volume starts full blast, regardless of app setting. But as soon as you touch the volume button, it drops to the correct volume.

I've never experienced anything like this, either with individual engines or 2 and 3 unit as lashups.

Variable voltage control is erratic. The app randomly gets stuck and engines cruise off. Sometimes it shoots to 20v. It is a latency bug MTH has been aware of for almost a year without a fix.

Being completely honest, this doesn't occur in normal operation, although it is possible to make the voltage surge if one intentionally abuses the speed slider.
