I bought this gg1 in perfect condition was hoping to run on DCS threw remote if there is a option on DCS remote to do so.

If not what would i need to run with all features the engine has?

Thanks for any input you might have!

Choose an appropriate - and SHORT - subject line and use that. I edited this one.

Unlike proto-2 engines TMCC engines have to manually added. If fact you can try it right now.  go to Menu/System/ engine set up/ Add engine / Add TMCC engine.

 

A list of letters comes up... Name the engine anything you want and hit the "D: for done, Now a list of TMCC address comes up, this the address to  use using when using a  cab  -1 .If you know it use it , If not you now have a engine added to the remote and you can edit the TMCC address following the on screen instruction on the dcs remote

 

You still need  a command base and TMCC/TIU cable for anything to work.

Alan:

 

Maybe you already know this but if not, before you spend money to be able to access the TMCC features be advised that that GG-1 has a very early version of TMCC with limited features.  Unlike later engines it does not have a horn, bell, tower dispatch announcements, crew talk or TMCC-controlled couplers. 

 

HTH,

thanks all and Barry says ill try to set te stall voltage, but will have to read how to do that part. i have purchased the command base ,just have to read how to connect it which looks simple but will have to read how to run in legacy mode with  the DCS remote.some mentioned this engine does not have PFA sounds but i believe it does because my hobby shop ran it for me with his command mode and his remote.i only bought the command base will se how that works out i hope i can access the PFA announcements and if that works i won't bother buying the remote as i mostly want DCS mat engines, love the simplicity of operation with DCS it's Great!

Thanks all ill keep you abreast of how it all works out.

THANKS again everybody on this forum! Great wealth of knowledge here

Adding cruise depends on the motors.  if the 18343 has the old Pullmors then you can't upgrade.

Bruce:

Thank you for clarifying that as I obviously misread the number in the subject line as 6-18313 which I have.  Sorry Alan and other readers for any confusion.  Maybe I’ll read better after I get my cataracts removed like my eye doctor says I need to do!

 

What makes it an even worse mistake for me is that I also have a 6-18343 (the repro of the post-war Black 2332).  And to answer your question the 6-18313 and the 6-18343 both have pull-mor motors.
