DCS WTIU Engine out of control

MJ MG JakeOGR Forum Member DIGITAL SUBSCRIBER

The other day running two MTH PS3 diesel engines using android version 14 with MTH app V4.0.1 build 78 when one engines started going super-fast climbing to 100 mph then crashed, the app was unresponsive. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so what’s the solution?  

WTIU is wired in passive mode. It was wired with power going to WTIU input then terminal block which caused a buzzing sound. (which didn’t sound good) Using MTH Z1000 brick

The app has been locking up needing to be refreshed on the run engine screen while running trains.

Yes, I've had a couple of runaway engines on the iPhone app with the WTIU wired in Passive Mode. (I now use Fixed Channel 2 because Fixed Channel 1's DCS signal is not as reliable for me. I found this on two WTIU's.)  On the DCS app page with a gear symbol, I set maximum speed to 50.  Nevertheless, I've noticed if I accidentally touch the screen in the upper-left area, just outside the odometer, it takes off to 50!  So now I make extra sure the engine is totally dead before I put the iPhone in a pocket.
