perhaps you are not set to VIEW the file details..

In the explorer window, at the top menu, there is a "VIEW" dropdown.

set to DETAILS first, then

you want to show hidden files, and file extensions... at least...

Hit VIEW, then at the bottom of the menu, there is SHOW, slide to the right and you will see the options.

HC Simulator should be compatible with Win11.

You most likely have a corrupted file. Try this. Open up Explorer and go to C:\ProgramData\Ring Engineering\RailPro HC Simulator and look for a file named RscLoaded (it has no file extension) and delete it. It will be recreated when you next start HC Simulator.

If you not comfortable doing that then let us know and we'll work out a script or something for you to run instead.

I found times that sometimes would connect and other not. I just kept trying. But my issues may very well be I am using windows 11 via Parallels on a Mac. My prior Mac with windows 7 had no issues.

Does anyone know if there is a compatibility issue with Windows 11 and HC Simulator?
I've got a new Desktop PC that is windows 11 compliant. I installed both HC Simulator and RailPro Assistant. RailPro Assistant appears to be fine.
When I started up HC Simulator however, it started as usual, but then when I tried to download some files from the Ring Engineering website and it "glitched". This is what I get now when I start it up:

I "uninstalled" it, down-loaded it again, and i still get the same thing.
Thoughts?

Awesome!  thanks for the encouragement.  It may take time for me to share my experience but hopefully I get a chance in the next few months.

I'll echo Bill's comments.

The only issue I've seen is if you make a temporary adjustment that isn't saved, like say an increase in Master Volume, and there is a short in the system that is longer than your Keep-Alives can cover, your temporary setting will reset.

Otherwise as long as you got juice, you can run.

Just like Bill, I also have no experience with DCC mode.

I've run my railpro units on other layouts with no issues. As long as there is voltage on the rails, you're good to go. Keep-Alive's are a real benefit if there are trackwork issues. If you want to add your units to existing club consists you'd need to use DCC Mode. I've never used DCC Mode so I can't speak to that.
