thanks pete for the info and video this clears up what I susspected about the limited dcc functions in the mth locos. At the kc nmra show I saw the esu decoders you are talking about. yankee dabler had them and highly recomended them. It seems as though you would loose a lot of dcs capabilities these engines have right now just to use proto throttle.
currently running my layout using dcs and the physical remotes are working just fine. I just love that proto throttle though. I guess the cost to convert all my engines to dcc just to be 100% compatable with the proto throttles would not be worth it. I realize that dcs is more advanced than dcc and has more cv's than 28,but the thought of using the esu mobile controllers and one or two proto throttles does sound enticing at times.
I have the mth wifi also and have used my phone and tablet to run my trains. I have the premium version also.while changing settings or accessing features is greatly improved over the antiquated remote. running the actual trains is not as fun as I feel I am always looking at the screen to see the buttons. wish they would make a new remote similer to the esu remote. thats just a wish though it will never happen at least from mth themselves.
