I have been using the DCS Explorer for a few months. I have found it to be useful. I am experiencing some issues with it and I wonder if there are any other users on the forum who have experienced the same.
I have three issues with it. First, it blows its fuse A LOT. I guess it's a good thing so maybe it's not really an issue. But users should buy a bag of 100 5A fuses from Amazon because the thing is super trippy.
Second issue: after shut down, when I return to my layout and turn the power back on, my engines are shown in the "Inactive" list on the app with no way to make them active. If I tap on the engine name, the app is unresponsive. If I beat up on the app a little a bit (tap "Add an Engine", go back and forth between the main screen) usually I can wake it up. However, sometimes the engine fire up, smokes, and starts going through the crew talk sequence, all while still showing inactive and I have no control over it. That's annoying.
And the third issue is the most disturbing. On more than one occasion, the DCS Explorer app has suddenly hammered the speed dial all the way to 120! The first time it happened, I wasn't able to catch the engine. Luckily, it simply flopped on it's side with no damage. That first time, I thought maybe it was operator error and I somehow did it. But since then, I've witnessed it two more times and I am 100% certain, I did not do it. Suddenly, the speedometer pegged all the way to 120 when my fingers weren't near the iphone screen. In one instance, I simply grabbed the engine and lifted it straight off the layout. The other time, I hit "shut down" on the app and it stopped. It's pretty alarming though. I'm trying to use this with some pretty expensive standard gauge stuff and I don't want to send something to the floor.
Has anyone experienced any of these issues with the DCS Explorer?
