DCS Remote Commander doesn't work with PS2 engine

Tom,

After you did a Factory Reset, did you re-add the engines back into the remote? If you did, you undid the effect of the Factory Reset.

After you Factory Reset an engine for use with the DCS Remote Commander, do not re-add it to the remote.

Further, if the P2 engine has a weak battery, the Factory Reset won't take. Make sure that the engine has a sufficiently charged battery before doing a Factory Reset.

Hmmm   how is the battery?     if not up to par the engine reverts back to it's old setting.

Thank you for the reply.  I did a factory reset without re-adding it to DCS, tried it on the RC, it did not work.  Re-added it to DCS, operation okay.  Did another factory reset went to RC still no joy.  I will remove the battery from both engines measure voltage then charge them and try again.  I will let you know what happens

Thanks

Tom,

I will remove the battery from both engines measure voltage then charge them and try again. 

That won't effectively test the battery. Test the battery as follows:

• Put the engine on a track and give it power.
• Start it making sounds either under DCS or conventionally.
• Immediately turn off track power. If sounds do not persist for 6-7 seconds after track power is turned off, charge the battery until sounds do persist for 6-7 seconds, or replace the battery and retest.

will do - thanks

I charged the battery of one engine over night and the reset worked fine.  That engine is now running on the RC Loop under the tree.

Many thanks

Tom,

Thank you very much for asking the question.  I did a factory reset, but it wouldn't work with my friend's remote commander.  I will have to make sure the battery is fully charged and try it again!!
