1. Support for sound modules added 

Vehicles can now detect and communicate with sound retrofit kits. Macros, the remote controller, and other control options can be used to trigger various sounds. 

2. Immediate completion of traffic lane switch now available for the Inductive Charger 

The option to complete a traffic lane change immediately can now be enabled for the Inductive Charger as well. It must be activated individually in the charger's settings. 

3. Automatic brightness adjustment for the expansion output to compensate for variable voltage 

When the high-voltage output for the expansion output is variable (to allow smoother motor control at very low speeds), the brightness of the expansion output used to vary depending on the voltage. A new option now automatically adjusts the output to compensate for these voltage differences, keeping the brightness constant. 

4. New options for the expansion output 

The expansion output can now individually copy the low beam, high beam, or brake lights, independent from other functions that affect the same LEDs. A new custom sequence option is also available, with adjustable timings.

Changes since 1.04: 

• Added configuration options for the upcoming 5099 traffic lights.

1. New option for the output wires depending on the vehicle 

There is a new option in the event settings, the output wires can switch automatically, depending on the properties of the detected vehicle.

 2. Immediate completion of traffic lane switch for the vehicles 

The option to complete a traffic lane change immediately can now be enabled individually for each charger, in the event settings.

 3. Input wires in analog mode now support releasing the current vehicle 

When a continuous signal is present on the red wire, a short pulse on the green wire will release the current vehicle, if one is present. Without the pulse on the green wire, the vehicle remains stopped indefinitely. This is useful for dioramas, where a visitor can start the vehicle with the press of a button, while everything stays idle otherwise.
