I have an Atlas engine that starts up when using DCS remote however, when I try running it forward and backward need to hit the REL button on remote. Once that happens, it’s fine. It there a means to disable this?
Thanks,
Bill

It’s a Softkey option on the DCS remote.
Is there a specific function or activity that the REL accomplishes?
Found the answer, (Source: Barry's Book 2nd edition, pg 125).
"Pressing the REL soft key allows toggling on and off Relative speed steps and causes the thumb wheel to act like the red knob on the CAB-1 remote. This is useful for operation of the TMCC Crane car. When Relative speed steps is selected, the REL soft key will remain highlighted and REL will appear in the DCS Remote's LCD screen instead of an actual TMCC speed step number. Pressing REL a second time will restore the default Absolute speed steps and the speed steps number will reappear."
Comment: Thank you Barry for the work you did for this book, I would be lost without it. Recommend it for all DCS users.
Thanks Don, appreciate the reply. I ordered the second edition a month ago and still have not received it, not sure what the hold up is.
But thanks for the input.
