New DCS Software And DCS App Release Now Available For Download

October 10, 2017 - The latest version of the software used in the DCS system is now available for download. The download is FREE and includes new DCS Hardware Software (Version 6.10) that resolves some issues affecting the previous version of DCS software (Version 6.00) when using the DCS App to control Lionel Legacy locomotive features (requires the DCS TIU to be paired with the DCS WIU WiFi Interface Unit).

Both the DCS Remote and TIU Track Interface Unit should be updated with the new software. Once updated, the Remote will NOT have Legacy function control. Legacy control is only available when DCS is controlled via the DCS Premium App.

In addition to the release of the new DCS Software, a new version of Premium DCS App for iOS and Android devices has been released through the Apple App Store and Google Play. The App release (Version 2.0.1) corrects a number of issues with the previous release:

  • Corrected hiding of used ports when adding switches and accessories
  • Corrected switch and accessory list sorting to respect TIU address
  • Made import file extension check case insensitive
  • Fixed backward playable whistle control when double tapping whistle
  • Added tracking of individual track voltage during all tracks voltage change
  • Corrected TZV not working for all tracks
  • Added Super TIU support for Record/Playback
  • Added support for default set of DCS lash up softkeys
  • Added engine settings sounds section with Cab Chatter and Brake Sounds rows for DCS lash ups.
  • Corrected softkey section header not showing and softkey command handling for DCS lash up
  • Various Super Mode Record/Playback fixes
  • Added support for iOS 11

Owners of the current app will automatically see the update if auto-update is turned on in their devices. Otherwise, users should visit the Apple App Store or Google Play, search for "MTH DCS" and perform the update manually.

App control of the DCS hardware is NOT possible unless the TIU has been updated with DCS Software Version 6.00 or later. Users updating their app to the Premium version MUST use DCS 6.10 software in order to enjoy all the features found in Version 2.0.1 of the Premium app. The new DCS Consumer Loader Program (Version 5.0) must be used to reprogram the TIU. Older versions of the DCS Loader Program are incapable of making some firmware changes to the TIU that allow the TIU to interface with the Wi-Fi Interface Unit.

You can download the new software by clicking on the links below.
