Executing Lok functions in Automatic w/DC

[jimadams]

I would like to be able to blow horn, ring bell, etc. of select locomotives in Automatic mode. I can program this in Timetable mode but cannot figure out how in Auto w/DC.

Also, is the Maerklin 76500 Gantry Crane supported in WDP 8.4? I only see Goliath and 7651 in toolbar.

Keep up the good work! Best Regards,

This feature will be implemented in V9.x. The International Version of WDP 9.x is scheduled for 1st half of 2005. This feature contents much more features than "only" execute some sound, etc. in DC-Automatic.

The (very) new M76500 Gantry Crane was released far after WDP V8.4 (English Version) was already released.
The latest WDP-V8.5 (German only) has already been released and supports the new crane already (besides many other new features). Unfortunately it is not planned to release this version for International users, because we are already focussing on V9.0 incl. a lot of new features AND a brandnew Automatic-Operation in addition to Timetable- and Demand Contact operations.
