es or MUs.

packs you are using are called respectively, JUMP 1 and JUMP 2.
3. Press the JUMP key to cycle from the LOCAL THROTTLE to
JUMP 1 to JUMP 2 and back to the LOCAL THROTTLE.
3. The functions for each throttle are controlled by the DCS50’s KEY
PAD.
4. To access function controls for each throttle, simply press the JUMP
key to cycle among the three throttles.

tinue to control the loco selected on them while your are working
