Lehigh74,

Thank you for your response.  That's good to know a real world example works.

On your fixed loops, theoretically, I believe, you ought to be able to use your ZW throttle handles to run conventional.   Reading through some old posts, I understand as you adjust the voltage on the fixed loops with your throttle handles your conventional engines should respond.

That’s exactly what I do.  I normally leave the ZW handles at 18V to run DCS.  If I want to run conventional, I use the ZW throttles to vary voltage.

But since I chose to power the TIU using Fixed 1, I don’t run conventional on that track.  If I lowered the ZW throttle on that input, the TIU would lose power.  If you power your TIU using the AUX input, it’s not an issue for you.
