 So I'm seeing some of the same issues that others have posted of. Today I tried to find a PS2 G scale engine that for some reason wasn't in the remote any longer. There were 2 other engines on the rails. A set of G scale SP PAs, and a Big Boy. After numerous attempts I finally got the PRR F3 engines added back into the remote (and the app). After many issues popped up though. I had the polarity switched wrong on the engines that were missing. 

 The Bigboy was originally on address #10. Using the DCS app, I kept trying to add the PRR F3s and the Big boy kept getting a new address? It happened three consecutive times! I'm not sure why the app felt like re-adding the bigboy that was already in the app? It couldn't add the PRR F3s with the switch in the wrong position. Why did it keep changing the Bigboy's address?

 I had other issues too. I shut down the remote properly after a couple of derailments. Yet when I powered it up, different consists weren't in the active screen each time? Each time I had to find them and re-activate them.

There were more but I forgot them right now. It was a very bad day of trains. Stuff happened that has never happened.

Yes, they will I just have to stick with it. No matter how bad it gets, it's not enough to make me leave command!

Of course the rule about only having the engine you wish to add on powered tracks alone should work. Here's where it doesn't.

I have an Allegheny #2 on address #5. The phone has a consist in address #5 already. I press read and it can't find the Allegheny. I press add, and it can't find the Allegheny.

 So because I knew it's in address #5, I edit the consist to a new address and then when I press add, it adds the Allegheny no problem. That should help others if they have this issue, maybe?????
