recover engine?

Jeff,

unable to "add" an engine that had been in my system for seral years. It was not performing correctly and I finally wound up deleting it and then trying to add it back. I have not been able to add it back.

That engine is a candidate for the Recover Engine function, which was introduced in DCS 4.20.

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!

I have a really old version of DCS.

I have read on this forum that version 5 has a "recover engine" feature.

is that what I need to resolve the following:

I have deleted and added other engines, just to see if I could, and I was able to add those engines.

It is just one particular engine that will not add.

 Did you try adding it back on a programming track with no other engines receiving power anywhere. Depending how much stuff is in the remote is a remote reset possible? everything will be deleted and give you a fresh start and eliminate any id conflicts. Do you have  any lash-ups? If the engine has the same ID as a lash up it won't add.

If a no go try the recover engine feature but you'll have to upgrade the software....

 

 

 

 

FYI, the recover feature is only usable on a TIU with the #1 address.
