RailPro > RailPro Software Updates
NEW: Dual Mode (DCC), ULT Sounds, Load/Brake Dynamic Momentum Features Avaialble
Alan:
Hmmm, I don't know that I would ever want more momentum than the current momentum setting allows. I suppose if one were to run really long trains on a big club layout.
William Brillinger:
My observation is that the load setting applies a curved momentum scheme, that is to say, as it gets faster, it gets faster faster, whereas the regular momentum is more of a straight line acceleration.
I do however think that these features will not have much appeal for those that are not using sound.
KPack:
Just FYI, Bruce Petrarca published an article going over the basics of Railpro in his DCC column of MRH. He mentioned some of the new updates in it, but only briefly:

Kevin, you beat my post by about 4 minutes 8). I must have started typing just as you finished typing. My post contains a little more on how can we use this to our advantage though.

Hello all
I have tried the new features yesterday as I was very curious. I only own HC-2 and LM-2s, so, here is my experience about it.
The diesel 645 ULT sound is really on target. While the file is big, there is still some available space on the LM-2S. I loaded only a Horn sound, A bell sound and the ULT sound and I had about 30% storage space left for more smaller sounds (like the fast spitter which I enjoy)
True motion (added load), coupled with the new prime mover sound is really nice. It really feels like the engine is running hard to pull the load. Thumbs up to ring on those features. I,ll have to agree with alan here, with no sound, it's another momentum feature.
Downloading everything from Ring's website was long but worth it.
Brake: I do not understand that feature. There is a small red % number showing up and it goes up the longer I press the brake button. I would need more explanation on the brake button. I heard a squeal sound when it reached 100% tho and the train was stopped, but I had to turn the knob down too, but, all of this is a bit confusing.
Only downside for me is that my HC-2 screen seems to be less precise and sometimes not responding when I press it. Sometimes too it feels like I have to press the screen to the right of the button I want to press for it to detect my thumb on the button, like if the touch area was all moved a whole centimeter to the right when compared to the position of the buttons. (yes that means the button on the far rigth of the screen aren't responding) It does that when battery is less than 1/3 (which supposedly is still enough to run trains for quite a while. So, I may try to drain the battery life completely and recharge completely. if it doesn't work, would the reset button help?
Thank you everyone!
Antoine
