Help needed re: Copying Files to Locos

(1/3) > >>

MtRR75:
The directions for copying sound files to the LMs seem to want me to copy the files from my laptop to my HC-2, then to my loco.

(1) Can I copy files that are already in my HC-2 directly from the HC-2 to the loco -- without using a computer?

(2) Even better, can I copy sound files from one loco directly to another loco?

(3) I know how to find the REV edition numbers on the HC-2 and LM software.  But where do I find out what the newest versions are?

G8B4Life:
(1) Yes, once the sounds files are loaded onto the HC you can copy them to any LM without having to download them again through RPA.

(2) No, this is not possible.

(3) Fire up RPA and look at the Product Programs section. The latest HC and LM software is there.

If you have not seen this guide I did several years ago have a look. I forget what's in it it's been that long since I've looked at it but you might get something from it.

MtRR75:
New Problem, but title of thread is still appropriate.

I am trying to load the ULT Heavy Steam file to my LM-3S (located inside my beautiful 2-6-6-2).  I downloaded the file to the HC-2.  No problems indicated, but it took 45 minutes.

Then I tried to copy the file from the HC-2 to the LM-3S (running software ver. 2.30).  The progress bar moved along steadily.  When it was almost to the end, the screen cleared and displayed just this message:  "Can Not Connect".  The HC and the loco tender were less than a foot apart.  The loco has run steadily and reliably on the old Heavy Steam file.

Any ideas what happened -- or how to fix it?

If the blue dot on the controller turned red there could have been a brief power interruption. The Heavy Steam ULT is a large file. Delete the older Heavy Steam file and try copying the new one again, as this could also have been just a glitch.

Tom:
I had both the same and similar problems loading the Heavy Steam ULT.  After about 5 time consuming tries I got it loaded.  There were several different error messages along the way, one of which I do not remember filled the entire HC-2 screen with verbiage.

To the point: Ring does not have the old Heavy Steam on the RailPro Assistant.  If someone still has it, would it be possible to copy it, post on this web site a, download to computer and then load from there to HC-2 – legally as well as technically?  If so, any volunteers?
