Nick,

Automatic mode works and the pantograph raises and lowers with direction changes. It’s manual mode which it fails to raise and lower.

I tested thePantograph Soft Key in both Auto and Manual mode on 4 Premier engines: ALP-36, Swiss crocodile, P5a, and PP5a Box Cab.

For all engines the DCS App's Pantographs Soft Key and its menu worked flawlessly, in exactly the same way as did the DCS Remote's MOP soft key and its menu.

The way the soft key works in the app is that when tapped, a Pantograph menu appears. When I tap Manual, the menu disappears. At this point, the engine is in manual pants mode and the pans do not move when direction is changed.

If I then tap the Pantograph Soft Key again followed by tapping an up or down button for a pantograph, the engine's pans respond appropriately.

To put the pans back in auto mode, I tap the Pantograph Soft Key followed by the Automatic button.

As far as I can tell, there isn't any bug in the DCS App's pantograph operation.
