Reply to "MTH Engine Firmware"

Has anyone seen engine firmware updates?

Yes, MTH has issued firmware updates for its PS3 engines, including some for specific types of engines and also specifically for the PS32 board sets. MTH ASC techs receive notification of these engine firmware releases as part of the tech newsletters.

How is the update accomplished?  Is it done by placing an engine on the track while downloading updates?  It seems a mystery.

It's no "mystery".  

Updates are loaded using the DCS Loader Program, either the Consumer or Service versions. The process is initiated by placing an engine on a track connected to a powered TIU channel of a TIU that's connected to a PC, and then tapping the icon for "Flash" at the top row of icons on the Loader Programs's screen.

I've not seen or found Loader program instructions referred to in the manual.

The latest version of the Loader Program and its instructions may always be found on MTH's Protosound2.com web site. Even better, The DCS Companion 3rd Edition and The DCS WiFi Companion 1st Edition each have an extensive section that deals with the use of all of the Loader Program's features and functions.
