Quote from: njee20 on April 24, 2025, 12:16:03 AMI don't use a Z21, but you don't need to program each function, they're all there, just push each function button. You may need to choose an appropriate icon for each though to remind you which is the toilet announcement and which is the drivers door or whatever!

Hi @njee20

By default a new loco doesn't have any function buttons enabled on the Z21 app.
You have to select the functions you want to use in the vehicles editor before they can be used in the Steering (Driving) section.

All this can be simplified by copying the settings from a similar loco when a new one is set up.

How interesting! On the ECoS everything is there by default (well up to F20 or so, above that you enable them on a loco-by-loco basis), but with generic symbols you can go and update. That does sound a bit laborious.
