I've contacted MTH Customer Service already and await a reply. In the meantime, I thought I would post this oddity to see if anyone else has encountered it in their newest diesels and ask if Gunrunnerjohn or GGG would please comment with their ASC insight.
My new 2019 v1 Premier GP-40 Rocky Mountaineer (20-21141-1) has six odd softkey features loaded within the first ten positions. They seem to be specific to the older Coors train and to pantograph units. They're inserted in the 1,2,3,5,7 and 8 positions disrupting the usual order of features one sees on PS-3 diesels. Here's the list with the odd features in red. My question to MTH was whether I can just simply delete the six or do I need a software reload. I think the former, but if Gunner or George have recommendations, I'd appreciate their thoughts.
Thanks
Bryan
