I wonder when the Android version will hit the Play Store?

When Google approves it. It seems to take them about 3 days. Took Apple 20 minutes.

And here I thought Apple was the picky ones for their approval process.  Good to know it's coming.

Any update on when we might see the B3SU software?

Great news.

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.

Glad they released a new app.  Beside the bug fixes, I will check out the EFX on Legacy Steam, Presets fixed on the diner car, and the Acela features.

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.

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.

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.

Base3 Details and Firmware Updater

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 speed tested... and, I'm now running 3 MUs (Trains) from the App, Cab2 & Cab1-L.  1) Santa Fe F3 w/Dummy A  2) NYC Sharknose w/Powered B Unit and, 3) PRR FA2 w/Powered B Unit.  All functions are a go.

I just updated the Cab3... and, it's definitely a game changer in terms of ease of use.

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