Lost engine ID# in Remote

Unless you have the remote backed up on the computer . the only way is a remote reset. (everything will be deleted)

Gregg,

FWIW, I agree.

I assume you mean that you've lost the engine that had ID#4.  Have you tried adding the engine again?

I strongly recommend to all that they use the DCS Loader program and back up all remote data to a computer.

Thanks RJR,

No I lost address #4, all engines are accounted for.

Even if I had the remote backed up, downloading that save program, it would still have the same ghost present. I guess the secret is save the remote when it perfect, and up date after every new addition.

Denis,

Exactly!

Before resetting the remote, back it up.  Maybe, just maybe, after resetting it, restoring what you backed up might not affect the now-you-found-it ID#4.  Do you have a second remote with the same stuff in it?  If so, reset and then clone.

So what do I need to back up my remote, i.e. software, cables anything else?

Same cables & stuff as if you were doing a software update, excepting the 1/8" stereo cable.  Along the top toolbar of the loader program, are icons for backup and restore.

Robert,

Talk about long odds. If that works, buy a whole bunch of lottery tickets.  

That, my friend, is why I said "maybe just maybe."   If there's a lot of stuff in a remote, try everything first before resetting.  To me, unless backed up, that's the last gasp.

This is why I've been beating the drum for a long time:  back up your remote to a computer!!!
