Help needed to edit DCS engine name on remote.

luvtrainsOGR Forum Member

Bought a new DCS hand held remote. Had no problems adding my engines except my PS3 NYC E-6 engine. The remote finds it, assigns an address, but "NYC E-6 #4022 does not show. Did not have this problem with my other remotes for this engine. In the address there is just letter N to top right. After several attempts I decided to use Edit Name feature on remote. I was successful but I am not able to use a "space" feature between the characters. So I used dashes instead. Is there a space feature among those characters?

Yes, the space is between the dash and the '&' symbol.

Note that if you do a factory reset, your name is gone again. You have to have the dealer loader to permanently name them.

Thank you John. I used the character screen with the "space"character. Never used the edit feature before this problem happened. The learning never stops. It is fine now. I avoid the factory reset. Curious as to why.... when I added this particular engine on this particular remote the name didn't appear at first.

Don't know why the name wouldn't appear, I haven't seen that one.

John, I'm guessing DCS is haunted with gremlins running through the signal causing havoc just to vex me. ghost
