"interface ease counts for a lot, particularly with first-time users - and if you can make it easy, why not make it fun? "Since DCC is "equal" at the decoder level, that is, Cv 29 is CV 29, there's really no reason why someone couldn't come up with a self-contained programing system (track, computer interface and software) that you could just set everything on screen using common english. Brand independent.Point and click, pull down boxes for CVs and Functions, an interactive graphical interface to set speed curves, etc. Set an engine up and then move it to your layout and run it. Perhaps the economics is holding it back. As someone said earlier, DCC is really still a small market and recovering costs and making a profit is a consideration. But I think the first manufacturer to do it will capture a lot of users.Mike Tennent
