Hi everyone, I need to find out if I can adjust the chuff rate with a DCS Commander, or if you need full DCS?
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED - THANK YOU !

You need full DCS- a TIU or the new upcoming WTIU.
The DCS commander is limited, the firmware is old and not supported or updated to even the same version as the TIU.
Again, the DCS Commander was last updated 2011, at only version 1.4, where as a TIU version is 6.10- so yes, that many versions and lack of updates- thus features were never really added to the Commander VS the TIU.
also the manual for the commander- no way to edit setting in the engine like chuff rate.

Thank you very much for the info! I didn't think it was possible, but was hoping. I need to find someone who works on mth trains. I have a Premier GS4 with PS2 that really needs an upgrade. I'd be happy if it had more chuffs, lol!! Also a Railking PS3 engine were the whistle won't shut off. Thanks again for your help!

I do repairs. The RK sounds like a pinched wire unless it is a PS-2 5V. As far as chuff rate adjustments, they will default back to factory if you need to do a reset. Upgrading a PS-2 doesn't do anything for you. I take it you run conventional?

The commander and tiu are apples and oranges. Their versions have nothing in common.
When I stopped beta testing DCS in ~2008, the tiu and remote were at 4.xx, the commander wasn't even out yet.
