Joe, I'm not aware of that feature.  Were you the blockor or the blockee?  If the former, couldn't you just delete the post?

I think he was blocking a member's posts.  If you look in the public profile of any member, you'll find this.

I choose just to ignore them if they annoy me.

Hi MTH DCS • Wi-Fi Crew • 6.10

Jeff : Thanks for the information on your Apple iOS 11, device.

Below is a photo from my train room shot tonight with a Canon, DSLR T6i. • f16 - ss 1/15. I have 21 locomotives programed in my iPhone 7 Plus. Lionel and MTH locomotives. I started out with an Android phone made the switch this past July.  The Apple Store was having back to school sales, I also purchased the Apple Care for the phone.  Which is very helpful.  I took a class at the Apple Store and the Apple Care help is great because when I have a complex question, the Apple Tech can do screen sharing with my iPhone.  This means live help with MTH DCS Wi-Fi, according to the rules on 3rd party APPS, they like to break the rules.

Yesterday was a state holiday in Michigan.  The University of Michigan hosted the Michigan State  Spartans at the Big House in AnnArbor.  My team the Spartans were victorious over U of M 14 to 10.

Anyways: I was up all night celebrating and now I am back in the train room (Man Cave).  I will be doing the 6.10 as soon as my adult son who is an automotive engineer for a major auto manufacture, brings over his PC. This updating keeps him involved in the Train Room.

2.0.1 for iOS does not exist. Maybe someday. If they went from 6.0 to 6.1 on the TIU, and we notice no difference, how will a less significant increment from 2.0.0 to 2.0.1 on the iOS app make any difference? Where is a "list" of the "numerous" fixes to be found? It would be nice for the community to receive some positive confirmation that MTH has acknowledged all the bugs reported by the community after ignoring so many emails and phone calls. Who knows what they pay attention to.  For my part, I sure hope they have fixed the app's unstable variable voltage control that lurches around, and the fact that every Legacy diesel remains stuck at idle RPM regardless of speed.

Well I updated to 6.10 and as yet I cannot find any changes in operation of either Legacy or MTH.

As well,  each time I start up the system I have to "re-fresh" to be able to move an MTH engine into active.  Without a re-fresh everything is inactive.  This is each and every time.  I thought the upgrade might take care of this and deliver more of the Legacy features.

Is this the way it is ?

Thanks

Dave

Can someone school me on what equipment that I need, besides a computer, to upgrade? I mean baby steps people!

Hi luvindemtrains

1, Who sold you the TIU?  If it was your local hobby shop, they should do this for free.

If you are going to it yourself, you will need these 3 cables.

Dave,

each time I start up the system I have to "re-fresh" to be able to move an MTH engine into active.  Without a re-fresh everything is inactive.

First, the app wants a refresh whenever it's run from the Welcome (Run My Trains) screen. This is unlikely to ever change, for good reasons.

Second, if you're referring to Legacy or TMCC engines, since they cannot be seen automatically by DCS (or TMCC or Legacy, for that matter), they will always become inactive after a refresh.

Regardless, the app itself is still the same. Thus far, it's only the TIU code that has changed (my sources tell me, true or not, that the remote code is the same as 6.0, with just a 6.1 label to keep it in sync name-wise).

Regardless, the app itself is still the same. Thus far, it's only the TIU code that has changed (my sources tell me, true or not, that the remote code is the same as 6.0, with just a 6.1 label to keep it in sync name-wise).

 

On the Engines screen click Edit, click and hold the hamburger on the far right of the engine, then drag the TMCC/Legacy engine from Inactive to Active.  Not really that big a pain depending on the number of engines you need to move.

Not really sure what I am doing differently, but my Legacy engines don’t end up inactive from session to session as others have mentioned.

What is the purpose of doing a refresh?

If you don't need it, don't do it. It simply ensures that the layout is as the app expects it to be, with all the same TIUs, AIUs and engines that were previously present.

Be aware that the Android version will automatically do a refresh every time it riuns from the "Run My Trains" Welcome screen.
