Have other people used the lcs iPad app and noticed when you set the speed on one engine and then change to a different engine the speed does not always reset to 0.
Example scenario:
i use my iPad and navigate to ID 90 and power to full power speed step 200 because it is my zwL throttle. Then I change to engine ID 11 on my iPad and the speed is still locked at 200. When I adjust the throttle to start the engine it has to decrease from 200 down to speed desired.
It it is not desirable on a small O-36 layout. Obviously a work around is to move to an id that won't cause am engine to rocket off the layout but wondering if others have experienced or if lionel knows and can bug fix?
i cannot consistently reproduce the issue but it has happened more than once. Any one else seen this problem?
I haven't seen the problem, but having written similar app code to control multiple engines, I think it is likely that the LCS iPad app is not consistently querying the current speed of the "switched to" engine ID and adjusting the throttle accordingly. Having had to address this issue myself, I can tell you there are a variety of "edge cases" to consider in making sure the throttle gets reset properly. I would suggest filing a support case with Lionel once you are able to recreate the problem at will. If you can describe exactly how to make it happen consistently, I'm sure it can be fixed.

Thanks for the reply. I've been trying to figure out the taps to make it happen consistently since it happens to be mr often, but haven't narrowed it down. I trst software for a job, so I know it is difficult to fix a problem without knowing what causes It.
In in playing some more it appears to be related to moving to full throttle and then changing engine IDS. I'll try reaching out to lionel.
