Chrissaf Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 You can configure the NCE Powercab 'Option' key to give easy access to functions above F9..This would appear to be a common issue with the NCE Powercab as Wickness models have produced a quick 'How To' guide..Part of page 2 of this guide is reproduced below and needs to be read in conjunction with page 20 of the NCE Powercab 1.65 manual../media/tinymce_upload/407beba774c3e4b9fc0abb3d5932a845.jpg.No disrespect intended, but surely reading the manual should be the first port of call when a control issue is found. Bearing in mind that this is a Hornby product forum and this controller is not a Hornby product. Even if the Vent Van is, this issue is with the controller not the van. In some respects you were lucky, because even though I have never had a NCE Powercab, this >F9 control information was easy to find on the net.

Ivory Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi flinnyif you look at page 20 of your manual , with reference to the shift button and prog/esc button you can configure f10 onwards ... hope this helps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinny Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thanks for that as when opening the manual it all seems to be in a foreign language to me. As for not being a HORNBY topic read Forum rules to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 As for not being a HORNBY topic read Forum rules to the right..Which is precisely why I took the time to research your issue and post a detailed reply. I was just pointing out that as a NCE product, your query might have been better dealt with on NCE's own forum, where one would expect to find 'Experts' as you put it for the NCE product. Yes there are NCE users on here as demonstrated by Ivory's reply, but your access to NCE 'Experts' on this Hornby forum will be limited. As it turned out your issue was relatively easy to solve, but it might have been an issue that could not be resolved by just reading the manual..

Chrissaf Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 I have just bought the Hornby Vent Van with sound and the Railroad Tornado also with sound but I can not input any functions after F9. As soon as I press 1 to input a function over 10 I get F1. Any experts out there?Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 The problem has been on several forums previously and with moxed results depending upon the exact model of controller.Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
