I had asked in another post on a how to do conventional running using dcs and it worked as stated until I wanted to revert back to all 4 channels being in fixed mode again!
after setting variable 1&2 back as fixed channels the dcs remote said sorry no dcs engines strange they were there prior to setting tiu 1 variable channels 1&2 to conventional!
so seeing they were in super mode I thought ok so went to menu to super tiu and set both back as normal walla engines are there and startup and so on. so I reset both tiu's to super mode nope no engines found again.
long story short I had to reset to factory reset both dcs tiu's and the remote and start all over I have it all working again in super mode and all engines respond as they should.
I have decided that dcs and ps-2 are fine as is but nary conventional mode ever again. I have added 2 tpc's and toggle switches so when I want to run conventional I can do so without what ever I did wrong setting up conventional on dcs.
I have learned a lesson use dcs for dcs engines period.
use legacy-tmcc bases for that only.
and lastly use tpc's for conventional of my PS-1 and postwar engines period saves me from tearing my hair out.
I know the dcs can run both but for some reason it likes me not I also removed the cables allowing dcs to run tmcc engines as well.
I am not bashing dcs just saying for me use the systems that work for me and instead of working to make things run I can just run my trains.
I do have all my ps-2 engines powered up as I type this to allow them to charge their batteries.
any thoughts on why the dcs after removing the variable tracks named a & b and setting var 1-2 back to fixed caused all this am really curious as to what I did wrong very perplexing.
