john_ruddy Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi,We've just bought a TTS Sound van, but are having problems setting it up in RM - can anyone help? We're running v1.69, and it seems to be up to date. How can we add it to the roster manually? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Set it up as a normal loco with an address then populate the function list by typing in the descriptions per the user manual list not forgetting on/off for the looped sounds.You will have to truncate some of the descriptions as there is a fairly short field length limit in the function list.Annoyingly RM v1.70 which is out soon will list R6888T with the correct descriptions, unfortunately we do not know how soon soon is.

St1ngr4y Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Wouldn't you think that they could keep these files up-to-date without having to wait for a new version release? Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Surrey Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 @ St1ngr4yMaybe a contractual thing between Hornby and their suppliers relating to amount of work/number of updates per annum they have paid for? But agree, I would expect the database of all Hornby DCC equipment to be updated at the same time as a new product is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31550 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Why cannot the locos and their data be in a seperate lookup file used by the main program. Then Hornby could update this file as new products are issued, thereby avoiding the extraordinary long periods between updates of the main program.

96RAF Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 You can always take a look in the locos and resources folders to see if your errant loco is there.And You can also download the very latest latent revision prior to any running session as well.ButUnfortunately everyone wants ‘their’ new loco to pop up as if by magic without realising the logistics of running a business and resourcing a product to make these events occur instantly. Unfortunately there is also a real world where I live with reasonable expectations. If my loco isn’t there then tough, I just have to knife and fork it in myself.

Chrissaf Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 31550,During the RailMaster start up, if you totally focus on the blue/green 'program icon' (highlighted below). Then you may occasionally spot a 'message' that appears very briefly in a flash to the right of the blue/green icon square as the icon flashes. The text message says something along the lines of 'downloading update file' or something similar. I stress that this message does not show every time RM starts. HRMS have stated on more than one occasion that the loco database file does indeed get updated occasionally in-between formal RM application revision updates. I have seen this message myself, so I know it happens sometimes../media/tinymce_upload/fa425017192343889721e083cb0fd313.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
