New protosound 3 board having minor issues

It sounds like your LHS didn’t load a U-50C specific file. There are instructions for downloading and installing it yourself somewhere in the DCS forum. Alternatively, have you asked at the LHS? They may finish the job, if asked.

You have to download the loader program and the PS3 U50C sound file   You can do it yourself but since you paid a dealer to replace the board he should have loaded the correct file   Let him do it

The sounds are spot on just funky lights. I’ll take it to him and see if some light got switched around 

If you want a permanent name, make sure he fixes that with the dealer loader as well, you can't do that with the consumer loader.

If he used the PS32 board, which would be the standard fix for a smoked PS/2 board, he should have loaded the standard diesel chain file and the sound file for your locomotive.

I'm with Ben, the dealer should have done this right, I'd have him fix it.

Another question! The engine is #5019 and the engineers call out “5000”. Can this be fixed? On the MTH website it has only one download file for 5000, 5019, and 5037. 

You don't load the standard Diesel Flash code, you load the specific PS-32 flash code, but since all boards come with diesel to start no change required.

It also sounds like the repair tech may have done some other mods while doing this.

First you need to know if this was  PS-32 repair, or if he did a PS-3 upgrade since it is diesel.  If he did a PS-3 upgrade he did not do it right.  Also not sure why no dealer loader used.  So I would question the techs capability.

As far as last question I doubt it.  I do not think they had specific SF per model cab number.  Probably generic.  G

Well, yes, I was talking about the PS32 FLASH files of course, and specifically the standard diesel one, PS32_Diesel-CPF.zip.

Something wrong seems to have been loaded based on all the lighting issues.  Either that, or the board and/or wiring is screwed up.

It was a PS3 board that was installed, it’s going back to him this week so I’ll keep you all updated! Too bad about the wrong call out though :-(

So it was changed to LED and totally upgraded.  That means sound file used and flash code are important.  Either way not done right.  G

Yep, and you may not be able to find a suitable PS/3 chain/sound file that does all the functions your PS/2 locomotive had.  Knowing EXACTLY what model you have and what sound/chain files are loaded is pretty key to moving on.

All bets are off anyway since they probably ripped out the old wiring, who knows what they wired where!!
