Evidently, you have not read the site in question. Although I have the software, but am not using it yet, someone I know is. It will do everything everyone has talked about here and more. All I can say is read. If you still don't think it will do what you're thinking, don't buy it. It won't be my loss. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by aluesch</i> <br /><br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by On30Shay</i> <br /><br />Lastly, I suggest you go here: http://www.freiwald.com/ Read ALL of it. That site is the cutting edge in computer programming for DCC. No one else even comes close. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />On30Shay, <br />I don't think any software/hardware combination other then ZIMO/STP lets you run a train past a "red" signal in automatic mode. You have to either switch to semi-automatic or manual mode or turn the signal "green" first, which is not really prototypical. <br />As mentioned in my reply above, with a ZIMO/STP system all you do is press the "MAN" key for the respective engine(s) and the train will strictly obey your cab. This is especially important when it comes to prototypical shunting or whenever you want to control a train manually without "telling" the PC about it. Not having this feature is one of the major reasons many model railroaders shy away from computer control, because they are afraid that all they are left with is to sit there and watch trains go by. On the contrary, adding a PC to a system adds a whole new dimension of fun! <br /> <br />Regards, <br />Art <br />Zimo Agency of North America <br />http://www.mrsonline.net/ <br />[/quote]
