RMweb Gold Geep7 Posted October 23, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2018 I have a Hornby Class 73 chassis fitted with Legomanbiffo Loksound v4.0 project. It's fantastic, but one frustration is if the loco finds a bit of dirt, or I power up the layout, when I turn on the diesel engine sound, it goes through the whole start-up sequence including the priming. Is there anyway to turn off the priming sequence on the diesel engine start-up, or is this a feature of the project? I've managed to it off on my Thumper unit sound chip, and tried doing the same with the 73, but it doesn't make a difference. Many thanks in advance.

RMweb Premium Michael Edge Posted October 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 23, 2018 Try turning the sound off, start the loco and then turn the sound back on - this usually works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Geep7 Posted October 23, 2018 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2018 I was thinking of something more CV wise, so that it doesn't go through the entire start-up sequence each time it catches a slight bit of dirt. I think it's something to do with the chip not remembering the function states when power is removed, but i've tried to set CV122 to the right value, but to no avail, so it's most likely something specific to this sound project.

meld Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Have you asked LegomanBiffo if that can be done with the current version of the File on your Chip? Lovely chap, always happy to help . Meld Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely chap, always happy to help . Meld I haven't as yet, I thought I would open it up to the RMWEB forum first in case anyone else has done something similar. Dropping Legomanbiffo a line was going to be my next port of call. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRman Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 On LokSound v3.5, you could turn the speed to step 1, and even without the loco moving, pressing F1 would kick in the engine sounds instantly, bypassing the start-up sequence. This does not work with v4 decoders: with those, I believe you'll have to get bif to reblow it with a modified project. He may possibly be able to put the start-up on a separate function key, but for a definitive answer on that, you'll have to wait for the man himself to answer.
