Making the Engine Go
There is no neutral in DCS command mode; the default start-up direction is forward. There are
several ways to control the speed of your locomotives.
Speedometer:
Tap once anywhere around the circular bezel once to set the speed. The engine
will accelerate or decelerate at the default rate. Tap twice anywhere around the circular bezel
to set the speed at faster rate. Touch, hold, and drag from the tip of the speed indicator needle
around the circular bezel in either direction to select the desired speed.
The speedometer will display the engine’s speed in SMPH (scale miles per hour). You may
also tap the - or + icons to control the engine speed.
Reversing Direction
Because there is no neutral in DCS command
mode, DCS engines go directly from forward to
reverse. There are two ways to change directions
in command mode:
1. Press the desired direction button while the
engine is in motion to drop the locomotive’s
speed to 0 smph. Wait for the engine to come to
a complete stop, then select the desired speed for
the engine to begin moving in the new direction.
