ESU help!
HI all. I have been doing some ESU Loksound Select installs, mostly the FDL 16 in my P42's and EMD 710 in my EMD locos. I got the idea to try their latest V4 (the $150 pricey new released decoder) to see if it had any better sounds like the air compressor on the FDL 16 modern than the older select version. (so far haven't noticed a difference in sounds, but I haven't been able to find a sound modification CV table either).
I installed it the same way I did the selects, everything seems fine on the physical side. Ditch lights, marker lights, directional lights are in. However when I went to program the ditch lights I discovered the programming is totally different CV's and values than on the select decoder! Wha???
Spent some time with the manual, which served to confuse me further, and poked around the ESU website. Has anyone successfully programmed alternating ditch lights with the new ESU decoder? What are the CV values? I can post the CV values for the select for comparison, but I'm a bit stumped here.
Thanks!

thanks again
Yeah, I tried the above, now the ditch lights don't come on with F4 and only come on together with F2. However they still don't alternate. And they go out as soon as F2 is released.
The more I play with this loco, the more annoying the Leslie horn is.
I think I am going to just take it out, sell the decoder at a loss and put the money towards a Select that I know how to work with. Again, thank you so much for your time in trying to get a decent outcome from this! I appreciate it!
