Monk,

The eng. comes up as RK F3, not mcdonals 414

Factory Reset and then re-add the engine to each DCS Remote. That should show the right name.

& the sound level is low. 

That's possibly because the engine, which is a 5 volt PS2, needs to have its speaker replaced. Symptoms are low sound levels and some static when playing sound clips that involve talking.

Monk,

In that case, you have 2 options to get the engine's name the way that you want it to be:

  • The best way would be to find someone who has a copy of the DCS Service Loader Program. Typically, a dealer with a service tech or anyone who is an authorized MTH tech would have one. That person could put a permanent name into the engine.
  • The other way would be for you to enter a Custom Name in the engine using the DCS Remote:

Menu/System/Engine Setup/Edit EngineEdit Engine Name and enter a new name for the engine.

     This name would stick with the engine until it is Factory Reset.

This can also be accomplished using the DCS Application's Engine Settings Screen.
