Well from my experience you only have to turn the banking on in the leading loco, that shall doo the trick.. any other locos connected with the radio on will obey..
Best video ever. Can you show me how to activate the distributed power on the Clinchfield SD40-2 so that I can control all the other locomotives with the first locomotive?
Hey I have train sim world 2 and it takes for ever to get the train moving will I mean in this video your showing me how to move it right but hope your video works on my train sim world 2 game
Would you use this only if you have one locomotive in the front and one in the back, or could you use this is you have like 2 in the front and all the carts in the back?
Great question so for in game I would recommend turning it on even if there back to back. It seems like it helps with power. In real life, no the locomotives would have to be separated. So when you see 2 to 3 locomotives in the front and 2 to 3 on the rear of the train they are more then likely running with DP power.
@@lucerogaming3720 alright thanks! This should help me get up the 1.7% grade on sand patch. Please keep uploading videos like this as they are entertaining and informative!
@@lucerogaming3720 possibly a guide on track switching because it seems quite confusing, and I still haven’t found that dang alerter switch on the 4400
Your description of how to set up DPU units is way off. The radios that your were looking at on the units have nothing to do with DPU. Those radios are in the nose of the unit. The radios that you were looking at are for communication between engineer and dispatcher, conductor when he is on the ground and other train engineers. Dpu set up always start with the rear DPU unit and you work forward to the lead unit. You are way off base. Most overlooked thing on rear DPU units is locking the engineer's seat so it doesn't twist around and hit the ABV handle.
Lol 😆 I know that about the raidos but I've noticed that sometimes the DPU doesn't engage till you turn on the raidos. For some reason that's how the game works. I noticed in the GPs and SDs that's how they work.
Let’s be fair, I don’t think it’s his fault, I think it’s how the game works. My railroad doesn’t have AC4400s, but every EVO I’ve worked on, you have to set up DP in the SDIS screen and enter in the unit numbers.
Thank you for your service on the real railroad! You’re a Railroad Hero!
Thank you.

THE BEST tutorials on TH-cam.
You should be getting more views and subscribers than this...
Why don’t these engines already come setup in DP mode? I’m tired of running to the rear of these mega trains
I noticed the the DPU radios turn off when you hit each one in each unit when you turn it on in that unit .
Best video ever. Can you show me how to activate the distributed power on the Clinchfield SD40-2 so that I can control all the other locomotives with the first locomotive?
I don't think there's DP power on the SD-40s.
I would recommend turning on the radio. I think it says PTA but I can't remember off the top of my head.
If you have only 1 loco as a DPU unit at the rear, do you set it up as a lead DPU?

Because emd locomotives like the sd40-2 and gp38-2 are better then the ge’s/ac4400cw they just blow up all the time
Why does the game make you cut in dp for the 40s when they are already cut in for mu
I've noticed that sometimes the units are not set, so anytime I play I always double-check that there cut in correctly.
Will this work for sd70ace on Cheyenne route
You can't turn the on the bankinh com on trailing locomotive it'll shut the banking comm off on the leading loco wtf lol 🤣
How do you access that camera wheel where you select the engineer screen view. Also on Xbox.
Hold down the Right Thumbstick and that will give you 2 options for interior and exterior views.
I wonder why the alerter doesn’t work on those locos
Lol I actually I never even looked into that for the 4400s. I always turn them on for the GP and SD.
@@lucerogaming3720 I have looked all over the 4400 can not for the life of me find it and turn it on. Lol
I'll keep an eye on it. In reality with out the alerter on it shouldn't let it run.
I literally just lost all sound to my game. Everything is turned up
Would you use this only if you have one locomotive in the front and one in the back, or could you use this is you have like 2 in the front and all the carts in the back?

Will do. If you do have any suggestions on topics I haven't covered plz let me know.
@@lucerogaming3720 possibly a guide on track switching because it seems quite confusing, and I still haven’t found that dang alerter switch on the 4400
What do mean by track switching? Like knowing what direction to line the switch?
How to set the 3 switches engine run, generator field and control?
It is located on the upper right corner on the control stand for the GPS and SDs.
With this working sand patch grade?
It should if the Sand Patch Grade units have DP power
Any luck running dp with the dash 8?
No I didn't know that there was a Dash 8 in this game.
@@lucerogaming3720 yessir on sand patch theres a dlc for it
O ok thank you for that info. I'll check it out. But the switch should be I'm the same area as the 4400s
@@lucerogaming3720 i tried and its not unfortunately. The back panel wall is damn near naked lol
Lol o ok.
SD70 only says DP remote disabled

There are two breakers one is for the communication radio and another for the DPU radio.

The game is whacked.
@@lucerogaming3720 Especially since SD40s and GP38s can't be DPU'd in real life...
