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

KPack said, "When acquiring a locomotive with a new picture, the picture is copied from the LM to the HC when the product is found."

KPack - That did NOT happen with my first two HC's. I had to load the image to each of those HC's. later determined that they were only at s'ware rev 2.26.
However, what you described DID happen on my 3rd HC which was at s'ware rev 2.29.

The only conclusion I can draw here its that s'ware rev 2.26 has a glitch in it w/respect to receiving the picture from an LM the first time it finds it.

If you have a locomotive saved on a HC with the stock RE image, and then update the LM picture on another HC, the quickest way to update on the first HC is to erase the locomotive from the HC (remove product).  Then reacquire the locomotive (find product).  It will now save with the updated picture.

File settings and pictures are saved locally to the LM.  When acquiring a locomotive with a new picture, the picture is copied from the LM to the HC when the product is found.

Really liking the new controller look, but I can't justify the cost to upgrade. Wonder if we can convince Ring to do a trade-in program??

Seconded!

Looking good! Those Scale Sound speakers with chassis-specific enclosures just drop in.

RailPro Software Updates / HC-3 Rev 1.02 released
« Last post by G8B4Life on January 31, 2024, 05:47:16 AM »
HC-3 revision 1.02 has been released.

No idea what this fixes or enhances. For those that have a HC-3 already you will probably need it, everyone else will have to wait until they get their HC-3 and find out if it shipped with v1.02 or earlier

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!

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.

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....
