4.31 .... ever going to be released?

April York it was stated by Oct York give or take a lifetime.

I'm told MTH demo'd the wifi adaptor at the NMRA show a few weeks back. They would've needed a new release of DCS to do that...... 

I'm guessing they held it back to include the WiFi in the release, that makes the most sense to me about the extended delay.

I'm wishing/hoping/praying 4.31 comes out and resolves the engine getting lost to the system if it's not on the TIU channel on which it was added.  Really sucks on my layout to have to crawl in and move them off the track powered by TIU 2 to a track powered by TIU 1 to get it to add back into the system.

I've clunked around on this issue for years, rewiring, re-powering, re this and re that ... giant PIA.  Very poor design software-wise.  And probably junky programming code for some of it.

Yes, not happy about it.

Probably because I can always power up the layout and run any TMCC locomotive anywhere at any time powered by whatever and it NEVER fails.  Well, unless the engine just craps out.  Which rarely happens these days.

Yah, I know ... Kerrigan gripes about expensive stuff he buys which does not perform as advertised.

And I know some of the "silent members" feel the same way.  They speak up with similar frustrations at our club meetings ....

So, MTH PLEASE fix the problems so I'll just shut up and have fun running trains.

Have I got good news for you!

It's already in DCS 4.30!!

You must have all TIUs in the remote in Super TIU mode for it to work, ands all TIUs and remotes must be on 4.30. That's the way that it was always supposed to work.

If all your stuff is on 4.30 and all of your TIUs are in all remotes in Super TIU mode, and it doesn't work, you've got a different problem.

With 3 TIUs, 3 remotes, 1 AIU, ... it's quite possible I have something screwed up.

In search of peace, I'm going to re-download the software from MTH, do a complete system wipe, and re-install it all.

It's raining those cats and RDCs today in Portland, so I've time on my clock to give it a go.

Before going to all that make sure each remote has the tiu added  and each tiu is set to super in each remote...Ex

Menu/System/ Tiu set up/Super tiu/   Select SPR for each TIU..  (have to do it with  each remote and each tiu.)

Kerrigan, if you've got many locos and switches, etc., in your remote, that's a major task.  Consider backing up the data to your computer if you feel a complete wipe/reset & reinstallation of the software is needed.  The backup function does not, as far as I know, save the program---only the data.

I'd check other items first.  Maybe you've got a block where signal is weak and loco won't start.

Here's a little tip that might be useful.. Add all your engine to  TIU #1 with nothing else powered including tiu & engines, After you get a engine added to the remote shut down the power to the layout for a minute. Now try and  start the engine. If it remembers it established ID add it to the other remotes making sure the same ID  comes up.    ..... Sometime we always don't get the true picture of know bugs... something like... the tiu has reverted to normal mode and we're in the dark.  

I know it's difficult for beta testers to get everything right the first time.

My favourite versions were 2.21a  3.11 and now 4.3   good luck.

Good suggestions and thank you-all!

Putting together the plan for the reconstruction.
