Title: Photos & Sounds Will Not Load Into LM-3S
Post by: DaneG on December 28, 2017, 11:53:32 AM

I am facing a problem trying to load new photos and sound effects into an installed LM-3S. I downloaded the RailPro Assistant Software and am following the instructions in the User Manual. I have no trouble on steps #1-6, but when I get to step #7, I get stuck. I click on the “Picture” button and the list of picture names pops up. The new picture I want shows up on the list, but when I select the picture, nothing happens. I go back to the main menu and the locomotive still shows the generic Ring Engineering locomotive photo. I tried starting over and redoing the entire process 3 times, but each time, the new photo never works. Am I missing a step or could there be a bug in the software?  *

This may be in the wrong sub-forum but I'll try to help.

If I understand correctly, you downloaded the picture to the HC, then copied it to the LM3-s and went to that locomotive's page. From there you go to the first settings page and click on the Ring locomotive picture. A list of pictures on that LM should show the one you want to use. If you click that picture it will auto-save and become the picture for that locomotive. Did you do anything differently from that? If not, I would download the picture from RPA again and repeat the whole procedure. Let us know if that works.

Also please update your LM and HC to the latest 2.03 software.

nodcc4me - Yes, that is the exact procedure I followed. When I select the name of the picture from the Settings page, it does not seem to auto-save. My only option is to click Exit Page. But the new photo never shows up; it's still the generic Ring locomotive photo.

William Brillinger - I received an email response from Ring a few minutes ago suggesting the same thing. I'll give that a try and report back.

Good news! Upgrading the HC-2b to the latest software did the trick. Looks like we can take this off of the Bugs List. Thanks everyone!
