Thanks for the Heads up, Marty.
No hurry Here..
My system is working just fine.
Lionel LEGACY V1.53 System Upgrade
Thank you for downloading the Lionel LEGACY V1.53 upgrade. The upgrade includes the following files:
filename description
-----------------------------------
ReadMe_LEGACYv1_53.txt this file
BAS2-v153.bas2 the Base internal software upgrade code (LEGACY System Utility required to load)
CAB2-v153.cab2 the CAB internal software upgrade code (LEGACY System Utility required to load)
Please note that the existing Legacy 1.5 manual is still current, there is no "1.53" version of the Legacy manual.
The changes made from v1.52 were as follows:
---------------------------------------------
Cab2:
· Fixed bug where pressing 'R' or Shut-Down turned off the CAB displays for fuel & water icons.
· TMCC Route Clear commands for IDs above 9 are now sent as extended commands. This required a fix in the base also.
· Fixed bug where pressing AUX1 on a train showed up in the engine softkey icon.
· Default the Passenger car to Loco TYPE: Legacy for loco type and Sound TYPE: LRS.
· Added “Aux3” softkey icon that shows up in Legacy mode for all engine types.
Pressing this key has no effect on existing Lionel products, it is for future use.
Base2:
· Fixed bug where variable length multi-words didn't work in extended mode.
· Fixed problem affecting users with 50Hz AC power (example: UK customers). SensorTrack preset action commands with dialog now work properly.
· Fixed bug where all database name sorting for the linked list was done up to record 103 instead of record 99.
This created a problem if any records beyond 99 had any data in them.
· Fixed minor bug where Coarse Absolute Speed values of 3 and 7 would only get sent out to the track a single time instead of three times.
· Added feature where labor value from any TMCC2 labor command (0x1C0-0x1DF) gets saved in the associated engine/train record at offset 15.
This allows any device connected via the Layout Control System to be used to view the last labor value sent.
IMPORTANT NOTES
---------------
If you are currently running LEGACY 1.1 or earlier, contact customer service before attempting to upgrade.
If you are currently running LEGACY 1.2, your engine roster and other settings will be erased during the upgrade and must be re-entered.
If you are currently running LEGACY 1.3 or later, the 1.53 upgrade will not erase your settings. However, we still recommend using the LSU software to back up your LEGACY database before upgrading. (see LSU manual, page 10).
