RAFT Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I have over the holiday period upgraded my railmaster to pro. I have now started to get a electrical connection error during operation of the software. It says to check connection. I am using a elite as normal. Click the tick and software contin as normal. After s short period of time (minutes) the message reappears. This is repeated and never ceases. Is there anything I can do to stop this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAFT Posted December 27, 2019 Author Share Posted December 27, 2019 Forgot to say I also updated to the latest software version at same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 It is known for the ini file to cause problems especially after an update.It has been covered in depth on the forum before and this link gets you to some of it https://www.hornby.com/uk-en/forum/error-message-lost-connection/?p=1 Essentially you need the correct combination of ‘check controller‘ and ‘alt comms’ values to get rid of the comms error dialogue, which is a pest constantly popping up on screen. Folk have reported it working for them in different combinations to it working for others. From memory my Elite works with both set to 0. You may ask why it was working fine before but not now - that is the mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96RAF Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Good to hear.You may like to post the 0-1 combination that worked for you so others can compare and/or copy if they see the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
