Hey all. Lionel has released a new version of the Cab 3 app. 1.1.029 is available in the App Store. The Power and Control website has the release notes. It seems a lot of bugs were resolved.

I am able to download Base 3 firmware from my iPhone now and the TMCC engine absolute engine speeds are working.

Looks like a great start!

V1.1.029

Release date: 9/17/24

This release fixes the following:

  • APP crash on iOS if BLE is off
  • APP crash during loco start-up
  • APP crash when clearing accessory
  • APP crash when pressing ACC multiple times
  • APP crash in multiple ways when Base3 database is empty
  • APP crash in TRAIN builder when pressing “remove”
  • APP stuck sending repeated commands (accidental swiping)
  • Buttons for up/down/left/right swipes – left/right swipes are disabled until a future update
  • Change how locos are addressed and started
  • Remove control type “LionChief” and sound types “LionChief and RailSounds RC”
  • Database clear not removing images
  • TMCC engines – sending absolute speed commands
  • TMCC Steam – water fill & blowdown commands
  • RPM commands for engine & trains not matching Cab2
  • Roll – brake sounds only when holding button
  • Diesel run level to zero when pressing reset
  • Rule 17 auto mode
  • EFX buttons on Legacy steam
  • Correction in preset dialog for StationSounds Diners
  • Accessory throttle action improved
  • TMCC Acela controls (Cab1 mode)
  • Crane car controls (Cab1 mode)

Bugs still to be worked on (high-level only):

  • Using TR for transformers
  • Multiple momentum fixes
  • Multiple throttle position errors
  • Train Brake issues
  • 4-Digit engine brake
  • TMCC Trains
  • Database backup and restore (local)
  • R100 control type
  • Maintain Wi-Fi connection when phone screen times out

Glad to see the update, found a few issues with some of the bug fixes so far.

in TMCC, sounds for blow down steam and water are reversed.

When in train link, you no longer see any of the station sounds diner lists of sounds. Neither list shows up whether you are moving or stationary.

I would send these to TalktoUs@lionel.com.  Make sure to include all the relevant information such as version, Base3 firmware, etc.

You can update the app by going to the Apple or Google Play store.

For the Firmware, open up the App and use the new button (bottom right of the Cab3 screen) to go to the Base3 configuration screen.  Push "Base Firmware Updater"  The instructions are there.  Incidentally they also appear on the Power and Control Website.

I did as suggested.  Go to the APPLE STORE and found the CAB3 APP , downloaded the "UPDATE"!

NOW:  The Problem with the REVERSING has gone away!!  Now using the CAB3 App., when you press the REV Button, no mater what speed you are running, when you press it, the ENGINE STOPS, Speed Lever goes to zero .   Push up on the Speed Lever and it goes in the other Directiom!!!!

GOOD JOB:  Lionel, Marty & Dave!!

I was hoping for the TR fix but played with it a bit last night anyway. I ran a couple Legacy engines no prob but the only usable TMCC mode seems to be 'CAB1' for now. Still terrified to try a lashup. This thing is still pretty rough.

Norm, it's pretty easy. I just uploaded a how to make a lash up video. Hope this helps reduce the terror!
