Odd behavior of PS3 E8

Not normal, something is wrong. G

The following evening I put the engine on the track with the slave unit (AA).  It started up fine and ran perfectly!?

With engine/slave sets, can you run the leading unit alone?  Hopefully this was just a fluke, or if it's going to malfunction, it happens under warranty!

Thanks,

Rich

Rich,

With engine/slave sets, can you run the leading unit alone?

Yes, you can.

FYI, the maintenance message is a non-issue.

I would reset the maintenance else  the message will continue to pop up just when you're not expecting it. I don't have a remote here but I'm sure someone can steer you how to reset it.   I think it may be under one of the soft keys. I suppose you're  actually suppose to lube every now & then.

To reset maintenance reminder:

• Turn on power to track whereon the engine resides
• Select engine in the Engine Screen (It's not necessary to press Startup)
• Press arrow soft key until soft key MORE appears
• Press soft key MORE
• Thumbwheel-scroll in list of soft keys until Maintenance is highlighted
• Press thumbwheel
• Press the RESET soft key.

The maintenance message is a farce.  It pops up whenever there is some issue oln my layout that delays DCS connecting.  I've had it pop up on new engines.

Thanks for the help guys!  Barry, thanks for the step by step!  I feel better about the maintenance required screen now
