Yikes- handheld conundrum

Tom,

It’s a somewhat rare, long-standing bug in DCS that, in my experience, tends to appear less often the newer the DCS release. The last time I personally experienced this was when using DCS 4.x.

If powering the remote off and on again doesn’t restore the lost DCS ID#, the only remedy is resetting the remote. However, if you have a remote backup that still has the missing DCS ID#, you can then restore the good backup into the problem remote.

Regardless, if you aren’t using DCS 6.1 already, I suggest that you upgrade.

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

Thanks, Barry. But being basically computer illiterate I need a tutorial on this process. Is there one in the DCS Companion? Can it be done with a laptop? Do I need special cable? 

Tom,

The answers to all of the questions that you asked in your last post are, indeed, in The DCS Companion 3rd Edition.

Barry, FYI here, I recently lost numbers 69 and 70 from one of my remotes. I have 4 of them and everything is 6.0. I use 2 tiu’s in the super mode. Of course it happened when powering up. In the past 15 years I must have lost about 3 numbers. It hasn’t done It for quite a while until the other week. Somehow I suspect the engine triggers the problem. I guess the bug must still be there.
