Yea - I don’t think the app is smart enough to know much of anything other than the engine name and number. I work in software and you would think the app would query the engines and then present the user with the features available - but that would make too much sense. Lionel seems ggood at the hardware, but their software is very poor. One would hope that improves with the base3, but unless they have developers that actually care about trains and how they function it will continue to present the user with a poor experience. You posting this shows that it’s confusing for the end user.
I have a few of those lionchiefs - they actually got me back interested in o gauge - and my kids love running them from their phones. I like that it works flawlessly - power on tracks and launch the app. The same cannot be said for tmcc/legacy or dcs.
