Posted today on Ring Engineering Website: (http://ringengineering.com/WhatsNew.htm)
------------------------------------------
DCC support Added to LM-3(S) and LM-2(S) modules
RailPro locomotive modules are now Dual Mode! They can be controlled by typical DCC DCC systems or by Direct Radio!
New Video - DCC + Radio Control
New Ultimate Series Sounds!
We have new sound technology for RailPro! Our new sound technology is powered by full digital recordings of real locomotives, precision mixing, and when coupled with our new motion technology truly creates the ultimate in sounds experience. One of the many new features in our new sound solution, is a feature that eliminates the annoying looping effect that exists in even high-end DCC offerings.
New Ultimate Series Sound Files Only sound files that end in ULT are Ultimate Series Sounds.
Alco 251 ULT
EMD 645 Turbo ULT
EMD 710 ACE ULT
GE 7FDL-16 ULT
New True Motion Technology!
Our new True Motion Technology uses a mathematical model that simulates static friction, dynamic friction, and more to make your locomotive run with more realism than ever before! And this technology is real easy to use. Just set the amount of user load and crank up the throttle. Hear and see your locomotive pound out the horsepower and smoothly break away from a dead stop. Feel the effects of the inertia as you drop off the throttle!
New Light Effects and Light Effect Editor!
RailPro has now added a light effect editor to its easy to use RailPro Assistant Software. You can create almost any imaginable light effect that you want. The light effect editor allows you to make custom light effect files for your locomotives and Accessory projects.
New light effect capabilities include new natural fade on off light effects!
---------------------------------------------------
I'm sure the Beta testers will have lots to say about these new features in the coming days.

Ahhh "soon" is getting very close now after all, it has been sometime in the making. Cheers, TOF in Arid-Zona
William Brillinger:
Just to be clear: SOON is NOW :)
All the new features can be loaded up on your LM-2 or LM-3 modules and HC-2 or HC-2B controllers by updating the product programs to the 2.02 versions.
You will also Need to update any lighting effects to the REV2 versions.
I haven't looked over the manual yet to see if it covers the use of the load and Brake buttons yet, so if there are questions about setting these features up, please ask.
MtRR75:
Are the True Motion Technology and Ultimate Sounds going to be applied to steam locomotives, too?
TwinStar:
The new sounds are amazing.
The LOAD function is really, really cool.
I'm looking forward to working with the new light effects.
RailPro now more than ever needs a 'Keep Alive' type of technology native to RP. Too much power demand for intermittent power. This is a must. Power interruptions while using the LOAD function are incredibly annoying.
Tim needs to be here addressing his users directly.
How does the DCC compatiablity help RP users?
