Have some of my consist in session suddenly change from DCC to only show cab control and I have no idea how to overcome it. Another are still in DCC and it was behind the consist that changed while it was starting on an upgrade. It failed to start changed to Cab then became a run away and eventually crashed backwards into one behind at speed which brought them both to a standstill . Then those loco's changed to cab. Any ideas.
 
Glitch?

To me this sounds like a glitch or bug. Can you please give specifics? (route, session, that you were doing, pictures etc.)

After posting this request I thought about it a bit more and started by eliminating all wagons that had a fault warning and also ran completely new session of the MILW Avery to Drexcel that I had modified by deleteing a lot of non rail stuff like freeways etc. I have found that there is one siding east of the stetson bridge that is very steep and when a heavy underpowered diesel freight tried to start it fails. The dcc to cab control session did not happen again. I stopped the power up and brought in some locos to the rear to assist. This worked and I have had no problem so far 4 hours in. Before reading your note I had deleted all saved sessions involving the hiccup. If it happens again I will put something on this thread.
I get the impression that underpowered freight, on steep start, left to get going by itself after time will give up and then trip something in the programe to change to cab control.
