DCS Lash-up Defaults:
Smoke units in all engines are turned OFF.
Head Engine:

All sounds fully operational.
-
All lights fully operational except the back-up light will not turn on when the lash-up is
‘ in reverse.
-
Only the front coupler (if the engine has one) is operational.
Middle Engines:
-
Only engine sounds are operational.
-
No lights are operational.
-
No couplers are operational.
Tail Engine:
-
Only engine sounds are operational.
-
Directional lighting is operational. (i.e. if the engine faces the rear, the headlight will be
on when the lash-up is in reverse, but if the engine faces the front, the back-up light
comes on in reverse.)
-
Only the coupler at the rear of the lash-up (whether it is the individual engine’s front
or rear coupler) is operational.
Over-riding DCS Lash-up Defaults:
To over-ride lash-up defaults in particular engines, select the individual engine and make
adjustments to it. For instance, to turn the horn on in a middle engine, select that engine
from the inactive engine list. Next, select the same engine from the active list, enter its
sound menu and turn the horn volume from 0 (the default set by Create Lash-up) to the
level you want.
To change a feature for the entire lash-up (e.g. to turn the smoke on), select the lash-up
from the active engine list and change the feature as described in these instructions.
Note: every time you start a lash-up for a new session, the factory-set lash-up defaults are enabled.
