Good morning and Happy New Year,

I recently bought a newer DCS Handheld Remote. 

This new handheld remote is MTH 4.20 Version   MTH (C) 2003

My question is, is there any way to disable the Quickset Speed Feature on this remote that can be accidentally enter into if the thumb wheel is pressed to hard while changing the speed of a locomotive ???

With this remote being new the thumb wheel is still tight and I found myself going in to the Quick Set Speed feature unintentionally and without looking at the remote can't figure out why the engine will not respond.

I have used my original remote so much I can just go by feel and find the feature that I want to activate.

With this new remote the engine won't respond and then I glance down and see on the screen that I am in the Quickset Speed Feature.

I read thru Barry's DCS Guide (2nd Version) and seen how this Quick Set Speed feature operates, but did not see how to disable this feature if you even can.

Happy New Year !!!!

Mark,

I read thru Barry's DCS Guide (2nd Version) and seen how this Quick Set Speed feature operates, but did not see how to disable this feature if you even can.

Refer to page 30 of The DCS Companion 3rd Edition:

DCS release 4.0 or later provides the ability to quickly set or change a DCS or TMCC engine's speed. To turn on or off the Quickset Speed feature, use the thumbwheel to scroll to QUICKSET SPEED and press the thumbwheel to select it

  • Two soft keys are displayed
  • Press soft key S1 (ON) to turn on Quickset Speed
  • Press soft key S2 (OFF) to turn off Quickset Speed
  • The display will show that Quickset Speed has been turned on or off.
  • Press Menu to return to the top level menu

This and a whole lot more is all in MTH’s “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition", available for purchase  from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!
