but then I loose all controls on the engine. Nothing seems to work except powering it down, then all is well again. I looked through the book, but couldn't find anything on this one.
It's right there onpage 168 of The DCS Companion 3rd Edition:
All DCS Remotes Lose Control of All Engines
If a DCS engine is selected in the DCS Remote's Engine Control Screen and the External Mic is on or the Mic button on that DCS Remote is pressed to activate the DCS Remote's built-in microphone, all DCS Remotes will become unable to issue commands to any DCS engines. This is due to an undocumented "feature" that is present in all releases of DCS.
Once the External Mic and the built-in microphone in the DCS Remote is turned off, normal operation of all DCS Remotes is restored.
This and a whole lot more is all in “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition!"
This book is available from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at OGR’s web store!
Barry,
Thanks. Maybe my operator malfunction, but, I turn off the remote mic and don't regain control. Is there a way to turn it off that I don't know?
Also, I shut off all power to the trains for several minutes. The TIU reset itself. I'm back to where I started, with full control of everything.
Jerry
