Reply to "MTH - DCS/WiFi gremlins!"

Over the Thanksgiving weekend our club participated in a show at the Science Museum of Virginia. There were 4 layouts running the DCS WIFI app. I was there early in the three day show and at the time did not hear of any DCS issues (I was running only TMCC engines as I didn't want to hassle with possible DCS problems during the show), however I was later told there were DCS problems on all 4 layouts. Unfortunately I don't know the exact nature of the problems as I wasn't there when they happened. When I did get back there at the end of the show I tried connecting to one of the WIU's and couldn't. Also, it still takes me many tries to connect to my home WIU although eventually the app connects to it.

Over the next month I will have the opportunity to run on two Christmas display layouts in different locations that have WIU's. I will be trying the app on these and I hope to get some idea of how common the connection problem is and whether the location of the layout makes any difference.

I do wonder with the new DCS company where is DCS support. On the app there is a link to a web page where you can ask questions and I assume it sends an email to someone. However the mailing address is still Columbia, MD.
