Release 5.1.0

This page shows downloads of iTrain 5.1.0 that is an update of 5.0.19

All new features are described in the release notes. Here is a categorized list of the most important features:

General

To get a beautiful and consistent look and feel on all platforms 'Flat light' is the default.
A new feedback monitor system that can also show module based feedbacks such as in BiDiB.
A new keyboard that also shows the state of unassigned addresses if changed.
New view mode: no client-server, no interface control, but you can read any file.

Interfaces

A suddenly disconnected interface will cause other interfaces to be stopped (option dependent).
Added support for MD electronics (MZSPro and 30Z) via WLAN with the Z21 protocol.
Better network discovery with button 'Find' showing more information.
New interface for netBiDiB added. Pairing must be done at first time on the interface side.
Module selection for LinkS88 for easier addressing and and better feedback monitor representation.
Support for DCC++ EX with an Arduino.
Control BiDiB accessories with a throttle via a pseudo address.
Write CV values to MCC decoders.
A protocol message logger window per interface for testing purposes.
Support for LoDi-Rektor LX with TCP instead of UDP.
Support for functions f0-f68 and binary states with Lenz LZV200 with firmware v4.
Filter on commonly used interfaces with option to show all of them.
Support for uCon-Manager-Reloaded (firmware v4).
Virtual support for Rautenhaus RMX, so you can use their handhelds with other systems.
Support for DCC functions f17-f28 with Rautenhaus RMXnet as an option.

Accessories

Trackroute has three states: off, reserved and set.
Support for 256 aspects (0-255) for the Aspect object.
French signals improved and extended.
Repeat/loop option for sound files.
Sound off/mute button to switch off sound.
Relay, Light and Sound can also have a permanent output signal when using a half address and zero switching time.
DTC sensor count zero then follow position count in iTrain.

Blocks

Hidden block option to reduce acceleration and deceleration.
Margin replaced by Clearance when using positions, to indicate the free space at the start of the block.
The position of decouplers in the block can be specified for extra stop positions.
Signal in block set to red if train occupies the reserved track route (except for Swiss signals).
Accelerating when a higher speed is allowed only when the train is completely in the block.
Use first feedback on turnouts between blocks to correct the position.

Routes

Improved support for shuttle trains that occupy two blocks in a station.
New station permissions to select which stations can be selected next.
Option to make reservations beyond a station while waiting to prevent others to leave.
Extra actions allowed in train route such as shunting for splitting and joining trains.
Dropping a train on the side of a block element will interpret this as a direction choice.
A route of type shunt does not wait on a station threshold.

Trains

New train weight categories in train type to correct the mass simulation of the locomotive.

Actions

Split train route actions in three separate actions (change route, change type, start/stop).
Add aspect change action with integer operations on the aspect value.
New conditions in actions for interface, train route state and train direction.
New random condition with a chance that can be used with an AND operator.
New random delay in execution part of an action.
Action to set the info for a train or car.
Action to change the booster state and one to change the interface status.
Action added to route train to a station.
Command line action will use @TRAIN@ as a placeholder for name of the actual train.
Action to route/shunt train to a block has a position where to stop.
New condition on position in block.
Decoupler action can have duration to switch back to inactive after some time without waiting for it.

Switchboard

Block items in the switchboard can have a fixed size and an alignment for text.
Only use corners of turntable if necessary to make it look better.
Better context menu for touchscreens (long left click with mouse dropped, only right click).
New curved feedback item.
Arrows for side next drawn differently.
Tabs in the switchboard can be made inactive so you only see them in the editor.

Others

Server box on status bar when running in client mode.
Extra column in list of the wagon editor with the name of the train.
Save and load state of vehicle functions so they will be restored when connecting.
Accessory keyboard upgraded with flexible number of columns.
Split of train inside the wagons improved by using common name in wagons for train name.
In case a train is not in a block no signal will be displayed in the train panel or grid.
Specific signal in case of a dead end track.
Select all/none active in popup menu.
Tabs have scrolling bars and a popup menu if they are too wide.
