Super TIU and reception

Are there any known issues with running 2 Tiu's as a super tiu and reception issues.

No, there are not.

However, there is a bug in Super mode in DCS 4.10 and 4.20 that affects scrolling engine speed up or down. You must scroll slower than usual or the speed will jump up or down unintentionally. The solution is to scroll slower or use the Quickset Speed feature.

I suppose it depends on how you look at things. If you mean operation of the trains using the thumb-wheel then Yes, It's not as good as previous versions of the software, and may led you to believe you have track signal problems or remote /tiu communication problems. I like to scroll fast, sometime the SMPH will actually go down instead of speed up. There's also a serious bug ... engines in the inactive list will not come out unless they are in the tiu zone the engine was added to. You have to keep using the "read" to change engine/tiu association. Not great with 4 tiu, it takes forever. Keep your engine in the active list. We should be able to select any engine any where whether in the inactive list or not with out using the read.not the case.

If you want to test the difference, slip one of the tiu back to normal mode and run a train in that zone. It'll have to be the tiu the engine was added to or use the "read" to change the tiu association. I think you'll see the difference, don't forget to put back the tiu back to super.

Greg,
Your post is right on the money, for the reasons you stated I do not run in super mode.
In fact I returned to having one TIU, and engineered with lights along the tracks and lighted lock ons at just about every other switch.

So THAT'S what is causing that quirk. Thought one of my throttle wheels was "balky".
