Some International Wunsches

  • (edited 29 04 2010 - SEE LAST topic N: 11 )


    Hello.


    According to questions, which was discussed in Amenden option it wouldbe too pretty to have in NEW version the following:


    Now i ll summarize:


    =====MAIN PROBLEMS=========:


    1) SCREEN ARE LOOSING SENSIBILITY WITH TIME!
    Please, if possible, add ability to pressing all screen buttons(not only diagramm but also side function buttons) by joystick and pressing on it.!


    2) If Number of Locos and DCC addreces is not equal Route Automation will work with Collision, taken Number in Loco DataBase as DCC address

    ===DrawBacks and Wunches====



    1) In Loco/Diagramm mode - ability to switch thrnouts by pressing on central knob (joystick)
    (without hand pen - this is not so convenient in some cases)


    2) In Diagram Editor mode: - Ability to draw text fields (needs for enumerations of objects and names )


    3) In Diagram Editor mode: - Add special element for bridges/underway


    4) In Signal/switches mode - for turnouts - Add Decrease minimum switching time up to 0.033 sec in aim to make less noise(for AC turnout machines)
    [Blockierte Grafik: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4314/vadimav.1/0_3a9ff_f5cc6116_L]


    4.2) Add ability for feedback to added bridge/underway module as well as to stop end buffer modules.
    It will meke diagram more compact and readable!


    5) In Backup/Photos option - Add ability to save on PC and print diagrams and routes (may be some other)


    6) Add ability for RailCom indentification using together with Viessmann 5303 RailCom detector.


    7) In Loco/Diagramm mode - It would be too convenient to make the ability to INDICATE thrnout address and track feedback information from the Cursor position.
    This indication can be done below GBS coordinates at reserved place (Between two locos).


    8)In Diagram Editor mode: It would be convenient to rotate the element by left Knob and change the element from whole list - by the right knob (Now, in v052 both knobs are doing the same )


    10) In Loco / Diagram : It would be pretty to realise more fine scale for imagination, when all whole diagramm are placed at display. This is need to see and estimate all feedback tracks of largest layout.
    Please add additional fifth scale to scale icon.




    ====== In ROUTE EDITOR: =========


    0) MAIN PROBLEM:
    Please add button "ALL MTX ADJ " in "Safe Matrix" page, which would allow to adjust and interlocking listings to all routes authomatically! This will save a lot of touch-operations and WILL SAVE SCREEN!


    [Blockierte Grafik: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4309/vadimav.1/0_3a9f9_3ae70f2a_L]


    ALSO: Please make 3 different shedules (or lists of routes ) like you did 3 different diagramms
    and ability to choose and switch between them for editing


    ALSO: Please remove restriction on quantity of locked routes. Now it is equal to 40.(Length of list)
    If MTX ADJ command exceed these limits - Commander dont say error, but trains will have a lot of crashes! and You ll have a lot of pain WHY!




    1) Please adds more quantity of entries for ON THE WAY commands.


    [Blockierte Grafik: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4307/vadimav.1/0_3a9fc_5d98d02f_L]


    It needs for long trace for switching many speed limits and shutting on and off lights at tunnels.
    -Also Remove BUG with LocoRStop(possibly also LocoTStop) command, which distort screen and stops other locos
    -Now Commander executes only last command pair among commands with the same contact number, regardless to the order. This fact is illustrated by this figure:


    [Blockierte Grafik: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/2914/vadimav.1/0_3a4c6_d67683b0_L]


    SOLUTION(Please tell it to main programmer of Commander):
    2)Enable ability to execute 2 or more commands belonging to the same contact at "on the way" page( In aim to make shunting for precise stopping and other functions for locomotives.)


    For more convenience You can organize this page as follows:


    ========(ON THE WAY PAGE)=========
    ---------------------
    CONTACT N1
    command1
    command2.
    ----------------------
    CONTACT N…
    command1
    command2.
    command3
    ----------------------
    ....
    ---------------------
    CONTACT N25
    command1
    ---------------------



    3) Please make END(CANCELLATION) CONTACTs also with workable function as RESPECT CONTACT(as wrote in 1.1 Manual but it doesnt still work).
    In this case it would be no need to add STOP CONTACT also to SMALL!!! RESPECT CONTACT field. If ll dont make it - another route will believe end contact of this trace as free and TRAIN COLLISION ll occur (although Safety Matrix are also works).


    4) Also please ADD more entries to cancellation command field, and add HOURGLASS command in aim to make delayed swiching off-s! Now lights are shutting off in moment of stopping, when train still moves.
    It NOT SO REALISTIC!

    5) In working DIAGRAMM please CORRECT font imagination of trains in ZNR fields (Smallest scale)
    For example i see my train 'ICE-1' as 'CCE.1'
    [Blockierte Grafik: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4214/vadimav.1/0_3aa0c_e062f989_L]


    6)SPECIFIC ROUTE:
    It would be convenient to make in Route Editor additional page for list of participated loco for each route. May be it would be convenient to do so at FIRST PAGE (where the name of route) :
    Route MUST START if ZNR FIELD coincides with the ENABLED LOCO. Else Next Routes searched.

    AN EXAMPLE OF FIRST PAGE:
    [Blockierte Grafik: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4311/vadimav.1/0_3a9fd_2dce503a_L]


    APPLICATIONS:
    -to remove/restore arriving long block section short train into SHORT DEPOT, while long trains must ignore movement to short depot, and uses routes for long block sections.
    - to make route with intermediate stops for suburb train, and without stops for cargo train.
    EXPLANATION:
    It's too important to make routhe which will start when a specific loco will arrive at start RM contact, saying more precisely: when ZNR field will equal to loco ID in specific command.
    As i believe, at V052 it is unpossible: I made route with commands only for specific loco.
    But this route starts when any another loco arrives at start field. In ths case arrived loco is continuing stopping, suspending all routes in whole cycle, while specific loco illegally moves being away on other route.


    7) Please making workable multiple using of time-locking commands at cancellation page. in Route editor at cancellation page. If i use 2 or more routes as time-interlocked - all automation process can suspend after 5-10 minutes.


    8) Please allow Turnouts switching HourGlass and other commands at "On the way" page.


    9) Please add RANDOM hourglass command with two time limits Minimum time, and maximum time (Timeout.)


    10) Please add LocoId E Stop command for "On The Way Commands" page. It's an emergency stop command which cause loco to stop immediately, shunting all smoothing! This is analogous to stop causing by pressing on left or right knob of Commander. In this case selected loco stops immediately!
    [Blockierte Grafik: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/4314/vadimav.1/0_3aa18_6a84cd1d_L]
    This command is very important when You brake through long station, using only CV3 and CV4 smoothing (without Constant Braking Distance)
    This command can be used when loco reaches last cornering block section for precise stopping from very small speed to zero immediately!


    12) Please ADD AND/OR Condition to Activation and Cancellation Contacts (In aim to ALLOW ZNR Translation at the VERY end of RUOTE to Both Contacts )

  • Hello Vadim,


    I want following asking to your following questions


    ===DrawBacks and Wunches====


    to 1.) What do you mean for a joystick? In the middle of the commander? The commander has not so many buttons also not around all functions can do.


    to 2.) Do you mean the track diagram editor? Then Ok, I could imagine that also.


    to 3.) Do you mean the track diagram editor? I mean, that is planned for the future -> as a uniform picture in track diagram editor.


    to 7.) GBS coordinates at reserved place (Between two locos)? What will or What do you make exactly as an example? What will should realized? You must know: The commander is no large PC, but if you do explain more, perhaps there is a possibility?




    I propose you write your Wishes under following:
    "Wünsche/Verbesserungsvorschläge" -> Wish/improvement suggestions -> That becomes too tangled.



    Best regard

  • Hello!
    My answers:
    =========


    to 1.) What do you mean for a joystick? In the middle of the commander? The commander has not so many buttons also not around all functions can do.


    = Yes, i mean middle joystick. It has ability to detect pressing on it.
    Use it as turnout switching if SQUARE Cursor at diagramm focused on Turnout.


    -------------


    to 2.) Do you mean the track diagram editor? Then Ok, I could imagine that also.


    - Yes!


    -------------


    to 3.) Do you mean the track diagram editor? I mean, that is planned for the future -> as a uniform picture in track diagram editor.


    Yes!


    -------------


    to 7.) GBS coordinates at reserved place (Between two locos)? What will or What do you make exactly as an example? What will should realized? You must know: The commander is no large PC, but if you do explain more, perhaps there is a possibility?


    OK! See this Picture:
    I pointed the Square Cursor and where indicate Name:
