M. Matthews Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I’m guessing this question is mainly for 96RAF…I see a new update of the app is available. Thing is, for me at least, the current app has been pretty flawless. I’ve not experienced any of the dramas that people have posted about. What is actually new in this update? I know it states “bug fixes and improvements” but I feel like it may not be worth updating if I’ve not had any issues so far?Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMD Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Thanks RAF. I came here with exactly the same question as MM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Sorry if this is a silly question, please forgive my ignorance but I can’t for the life of me work out how to update the app! I can update the locos no problem. I thought it would just happen automatically when I logged back on but it hasn’t 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Peachy, go to App Store, find HM DCC app, it will tell you it’s an update in top right corner, tap on that, takes few seconds to download the update into your existing app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Coast Flyer Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Another daft question, do the Loco’s need updating as well as the App? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ché-348931 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Another daft question, do the Loco’s need updating as well as the App? Nope, this is just an update to the application itself. If / when the Loco's need updating in the future, you will get an in-app alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That did it’s thing.I’ve opened the app from the App Store & also just from the app button on my iPad screen, but it’s still showing v1.0.0 is this just a graphic glitch?

96RAF Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Admin error - It should show It is getting fixed asap and will pop up as a hot fix. You then need to recycle the app - close it down and re-open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuLuJo Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I have updated all 3 of my IOS devices. Tried one first and as it worked perfectly so updated the others. I have tried all 11 locos on all 3 IOS devices without issueI am very impressed with the speed and ease of the update. I just downloaded the update and carried on operating. The ability to change the speed curve is great and light years better than doing it in railmaster. It also works every time whereas some of my railmaster updates had not stuck. Speed curve updated but CV29 not. So all my locos now have modified speed curves and much more realistic chuffing sounds. My only quibble is changing the direction buttons makes it the opposite of railmaster. I have had no real issues downloading the profiles but will give it a try with another decoder this afternoon. Thanks for managing to issue the Andriod app and update the IOS app at the same time. Hopefully we can now all get on with exploiting the system.

Hotfix has been deployed and it is now showing correctly as v1.1.0. Check your settings page in-app and see if you have the update prompt. If not, close the app and reopen.

Rallymatt Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Hot fix is now functional from the App.. Deltic sound profile is now available…. Hm looks like my BR130 running as class 50 is about to get a pair of Napier Detic motors dropped in it…. Apologies to the neighbours… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rallymatt Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Well it was fun to hear, not really suitable for the work that loco does so reverted back to the class 50… it’s so easy to switch between profiles now 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pendragon Sailing Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I’ve successfully updated the iOS App on my iPad Pro, with no issues at all.I’ve also downloaded the new Class 55 and Tornado A1 Profiles to two expectant Locos, again successfully, and first time, with no issues experienced . Excellent stuff.I’ve only one small observation……I see the Tornado A1 Function List has been uploaded to the Documents site, but I can’t see the Class 55 Listing. Presumably its on its way soon?From the Apple perspective, very well done the Hornby team ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeJayEye Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Still not working on Ipad Air, never mind the Android version suits me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Still not working on Ipad Air, never mind the Android version suits me. At least 3 members of the test team have an iPad Air stuck at v12.5.7 who are keen to see the app work on that device. Annoyingly it works on an iPad Pro at the earlier v11. It will get fettled as soon as the developers have worked out where the glitch is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-353799 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I've just updated mine from within the app as it now alerts you to an available update and it's showing version 1.1.0Neat!I wasn't connected to the trains/track either!It was so quick as well I didn't think anything had happened grinning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaHST Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 So has anyone figured out how to run two locomotives with one throttle yet? An ability to consist? I don't care about controlling two powered locomotives just one powered and one dummy but still want them to make the same noises and not have to switch back and forth. Class 43 HSTs for those wondering what locomotives I am referring to.I am so thrilled to hear a pair of Valentas take off again. I miss this so much from my childhood.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM6 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 In it’s launch configuration, the app does not support consists. This function is however, on the list of development projects for the team to investigate and build as the system matures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
