Direction in advanced consisting is controlled by the value in CV19. 1-127 is forward, 129-255 is the corresponding consist number but running in reverse (loco A with CV19-1 and loco B with CV19=129 would be consist 1, with loco B running reverse). Why they would take out an option for direction I'm not sure, I don't have DecoderPro on this laptop to check it out.

My DecoderPro 4.17.5 offers on the consist page only the choice if a function is under original or consist address active. It does not offer the choice of direction and location of engine in the consist.
e.g. consist of two GP38-2 back to back has always one rear light and one rear ditch light on if the coresponding lights are set. The rear light should be all off and only the front light shout switch according to the direction of the consist.
I remember I have that programmed about one year ago with proper direction depended functions.
What did I miss?
Second point is that the decoder directory is empty! but I can select new decoders and the information is available from somewhere. Is there an alternate location for the decoder definion XML files?
Sorry but I am highly confused at the moment .....
