Does anyone use the DCS remote for operating the Lionel crane? I know CSX fan (jamie had figured out most of the commands) anyone remember them? Thanks.

Gregg,
See if these are any good or help to you:
Here are the commands that I saved:
Feature DCS command
spin cab spin thumb wheel
front coupler cplr-f
rear coupler cplr-r
lower boom #2/brake
raise boom #2/boost
lower main hook (softkey) S2(AX2)/ brake
raise main hook (softkey) S2(AX2)/ boost
lower aux hook #3/brake
raise aux hook #3/boost
front lights on and off #5/key
rear lights on and off #6/key
launch out riggers drift
Any other number or soft key sends out the last command.
DCS appears to be unable to multi task the crane.
I think Bill got it, but there are a few more regarding the Sound car and the Foremans voice on/off. I don't know them off hand.
I'll admit it, I bought a TMCC set for that set alone. TMCC Engines are no big deal under DCS.
Hi Guys,
Here's a conversion sheet I put together a number of years ago for the crane and sound tender.
I made this sheet before DCS V4.0 firmware was available. The rotation is now much better by simply selecting "REL" speed control. That eliminates the need to press direction to continue the clockwise rotation. V4.0 also added the "AX1" softkey which re-maps the numeric keypad to be the same as the Cab-1.
Joe, Bill,Russell, Dave,, Printed it out., now to try it. Thanks.
