ps3 engine suddenly starting in conventional - i think

update - I was able to gain control by first letting the engine run free at 9.5 volts.  From their I was able get the engine off the inactive list and the select it and start up. Of course it then came to an abrupt stop.  I shut the engine down properly but now have to do something else for a few hours.  I have no idea why it was starting up this way.

did you try a conventional reset? p.s. what is the engine item number? did you check dcs and make sure dcs fixed 1 is turned on if off it will start up in conventional! due  read on the remote make sure it sees tiu.

Did not yet do anything else.  Currently have sleeping toddler on my chest so anything is needs to wait a little.

 The other engine in the lashup worked fine and responded normally.  I also had track two set up the way with a ps2 engine that also worked correctly.  I know they are separate channels, but that said I don’t think the issue had anything to do with the tiu.

So...?

Did you press the read?

or did you select the engine from the inactive list and depress the thumbwheel to select it and bring it active?

selected from inactive list and brought to the active list.  

Hi,

Go into the DCS Remote. Scroll over to "more" in the softkeys. Click more in the softkeys. When you get to conventional mode, make sure it is in DCS mode. Also, a factory reset may help. Also, try a conventional reset if it still comes up in conventional. Hope this helps.

Thanks!
