Proto Throttle

<< < (3/6) > >>

KPack:
The Proto Throttle is way larger than Railpro from what I've seen.  I've never had a problem with the size of the Railpro throttle, and never had a problem operating it one-handed.  That's one complaint that people make against Railpro that I've never really understood.

I use my RailPro one handed and also have no issues. I fit a medium glove so I was concerned about the size of the Proto Throttle. It did not feel uncomfortable and it does have a strap on the back to fit the fingers into. The Throttle is bigger but the feel because of the straps was fine. It also has a spot on the case to be able to hang it around your neck. They had a lot of help with ideas from the MRH forum group and it has been very well thought out.

I used one for a few hours at Joe Atkinson's IAIS layout. It is a lot of fun to use and very intuitive. I enjoyed using it and it is certainly a 2 hander. Not really an issue for this a boutique item. I have no problem using RP with only 1 hand.

Smoke:
Two years years later, is there any word on if RailPro will ever communicate with the Proto Throttle? I am interested in both RailPro and the Proto throttle but since they don't communicate right now it is one or the other.

Six years with no Mac support and an extremely poor RP Assistant interface and zero fix to whatever issue the Hugh's net guys are having. I'm going to guess 'not any time soon'.

I wish I had a better answer.
