DCS WiFi App and Lash-Up Inactive

press the inactive lashup and slide your finger to the left.   to the right it should give you the option to make active.  Same action required when a TMCC engine is placed in the inactive list.

Thank you Gary, the lash-up didn't seem to respond to any kind of touch, but you gave me an idea. I decided to add #83 and #84 to the active list and then bingo the lash-up become clickable and I activated it and inactivated the two separate engines. Then after a reboot the lash-up stayed active.

Have no idea why this worked, but it's working!

Matt,

You may find the following from page 63 of The DCS WiFi Companion 1st Edition useful.

DCS engines, TMCC engines and Legacy engines all move the same way, as do their respective lashups. 

This and a whole lot more about DCS WiFi is all in MTH’s “The DCS WiFi Companion 1st 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! Get the free TMCC & Legacy Addendum here!

Thank you Barry!

We'll be improving the active/inactive behavior in both the Android and iOS versions of the app.  There are other related behaviors that can be enhanced as well.  For example, if you hit refresh (circle arrow upper left of main control screen) and the engine you are running has been removed from the track it will remain as the "selected" engine with the words (inactive) next to it.  This is true even if there are other engines in the active list.  Why not move an engine from the active list to the main control screen automatically.  Even if this isn't the engine you intend to run, it's better to see the refresh worked and there are active engines on the layout.  Either way, you have to select a valid active engine so, why not just put one there?  

This and other "UX" (user experience) improvements will be made and distributed via updates.  We've been really busy on the DCS Explorer and new starter set app over the last 6 months so, we haven't spent much time on the main DCS app.  It's time to turn some of our attention there.

Thank you for the feedback MTH RD, very appreciated and customer focused.

I look forward to some updates, but I will say I really love using the app!

And if you hit refresh while trains are running....................

I use the android app, and apparently the active/inactive functions work differently than they do with the appleapp.  Not always so easy to slide locos up out of inactive.
