I don't know why this would happen. I had an engine left on the track last night. It ran fine last night using only the remotes. I went to run it today and none of my remotes could find it? This is after spending a few hours messing with the phone app trying to run other engines, and not getting any good results.
I finally figured out that the engine had an address stored on the board of 13. So I looked in the remote I used last night and now there's no #13??? I don't even remember that engine being in 13 but what good is my memory anyways.
So I added a MTH engine, and there it found and added the engine??? I've had this engine for a few years.
It's like the app messed up both the remotes and the TIUs. I shouldn't have to figure out what's happening to every engine I want to run now!
I grabbed another engine and of course that engine messed up. I had to reload it and for some reason it just locked up and shut down now. It could be something internal. It was like the engine didn't know what speed to run and was starting to jerk before quitting.
I just tested that engine on my bench and it runs fine in conventional. I put it back on the track and it moved about an inch and abruptly shut down. I put it back on the bench and it ran fine again. I guess I'll try it next in conventional on the track. Seems like it doesn't know what DCS wants it to do.
So just maybe there's something weird going on with this app stuff? All of a sudden my layouts are going south.
