Reply to "New TMCC Engine not connecting to DCS system"

The only thing you need to turn on is the remote. The layout itself can be off. Doesn’t matter if the engine itself is on the layout.  I hadn’t done this for a while so I just tried it.

Turn on the DCS remote.

Hit Menu, Engine Setup, Add engine, Add TMCC Engine.

Now give it a name and hit the D on the end when done.

Now enter the TMCC address assigned to the engine.

Now select the TIU number the TMCC base is plugged into. Count the blinks on the TIU when you turn it on if your not sure.

The engine will come up on your inactive list.

Move it to the active list. Select it and hit start up.

When I once was running everything with the DCS remote. I entered all my TMCC engines watching TV.
