I'm pretty sure the early version of the HC software managed the photos properly and somewhere along the way that ceased.
Sounds like it was solved in 2.29 then. Glad to hear it.

Another reason to keep your your HC's  up to date!

Finished RailPro Installation Examples / Re: Atlas Master GP38
« Last post by Espeelark on January 30, 2024, 06:31:25 PM »
ON28 - hope you don't mind if I leverage your existing "Atlas Master GP38" topic to show how I did mine. Since we both started with the same loco, I thought it would be easier for people to see how two people did a RailPro install on the same loco in the same thread/post as opposed to having to jump between two separate topics.

I leveraged ON28's great concept and fabricated a styrene platform with copper beading strips (got mine on Amazon) to minimize the wires.
On this install, I also utilized a Scale Sound Systems speaker - wow are those good!
ON28 also graciously clarified how he strucutured his styrene platform in a separate message to me.

Here's a photo of mine before the final tucking and (Kapton) taping of wires. I wanted to make it easier to see the styrene/copper beading strip platform.

I also had the weights milled down to make room  inside the shell.

I have another one of these to do and think I will change it up by placing the SSS speaker over the forward flywheel instead which I think will leave more room for the RP module and make the wiring easier/simpler.

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Re: Uploading Loco photos through HC Simulator

Update....
I have three HCs. Two behaved as described above wherein I had to upload the picture file to each HC to update the displayed icon for the new ATSF loco.
With the third HC, when I selected "Find Product", it did and the custom ATSF GP38 icon displayed right off the bat!

The only difference between the first two HCs and the third on is that the first two were on s'ware version 2.26 whereas the third was on version 2.29.

Thanks Bill - that was the ticket!
I view that as a short-coming. If I have a fleet of HC's then every time I add a new loco I have to upload the new file to each HC one at a time, acquire the loco with each and every HC, and then update the pic on each and every HC.
Oh well....

Iirc, the images need to be loaded on the HC as well. If you copy the image from the RPA to actual HC, I think you will find it works.

RailPro Specific Help & Discussion / Uploading Loco photos through HC Simulator
« Last post by Espeelark on January 30, 2024, 01:32:28 PM »
I've got questions.....
I used HC Simulator (HCS) in combination with RailPro Assistant (RPA) to upload a custom loco image I made for my new ATSF GP38 #3501.
Using the HCS, I was able to acquire the new LM-3S installed in the my ATSF GP38 and successfully change the image from the stock RE blue loco image to my custom ATSF #3501 image.
Then I closed the HC Simulator on my computer and turned on one of my HC-2B's. It found the new LM-3S GP38 but showed the stock RE blue loco image. So, I then selected "locomotive Setup" and tapped on the stock RE blue loco image. Then, I've had both of the following happen (because I tried multiple times):
A) It listed both "RE Loco" and "3501 ATSF GP38 c/f". I selected the ATSF GP38 and it said "please wait" and finished what it was doing, but the image/icon did not change/update.
or
B) After selecting "3501 ATSF GP38 c/f" from the list it comes back and says, "File not local!".

I thought that once the custom loco file was saved/uploaded to the LM-3S that whenever any HC-2B subsequently discovered it for the first time that all of the custom files (image, sound, lights, etc.) were transferred/displayed/shown on that HC-2B?

I even tried "Remove Product" from that HC-2B and then re-acquiring it. That made no difference.

What am I missing?

Somebody upgrading to the new HC-3's?  I love the feel of the new controller.  Night and day difference.

Yeah, I would love to see Ring Engineering out there more.  If people at these shows had the chance to get a hands-on test of Railpro's tech there would be a lot of interest. 

One thing to think about in a setting like that is how crowded are the radio waves?  Railpro operates on 2.4 gHz, which is the same as many other things.  Would wave band saturation be a problem? 

Either way, getting modelers to buy in requires hands-on.  I can do some with the modelers I run into, but that's a pretty small group.  Amherst, or even a smaller show, would be great.
