Greetings from a Dombo Dutchman.

Hi Riny,
welcome to the forum and the use of WDP.
Where to start with WDP is a good question. First of all you should have a control (such like Intellibox from Uhlenbrock or Master Control from Tams or any other control like these). Then you have to install switch-decoders for turn outs, slip-crossings and signals. The next step is to fill in your lay out as a so called project in WDP-lay out editor. After that you can mark the turn outs, slip-crossings and signals in the lay out editor ( I think this will be the right translation for "Gleisbildeditor") with their number of the decoder connection. Then you will have to decide where to install those feedback areas. These are necessary for automatic driving. The feedback areas have to be connected with feedback-decoders. I think these first steps will take some time.
The current version of WDP is 9.2. But there will be a new version called Pro X next time. I suppose this new version will be delivered before easter.
Meanwhile you can use the demo-version for training. Here you will find it: http://www.windigipet.de/downloadintl.html
To get familiar with the program it is to underline to read the handbook first and again and again. So will have the chance to solve a lot of problems on your own. If there is a question you believe you can't solve with the handbook then you will have the chance to ask in the forum.
I wish you a good start with WDP and a lot of fun with the little trains.

Dear Ralf and Peter,

Thank you both for your reply.
I allready have the WDP-demo 9.2 and the manual downloaded.
Just like you both say, its reading and reading the manual and praktisch step by step.

What much more gives the newer version of WDP?
If its possible I want keep (take) the dutch version and buy me a new 9.2 NL.

Maybe there wil be come an update from 9.2 -> "10" I'll hope so.

I'll wait and see.

Greetings from Holland, Riny

Dear Riny,
alstublieft, kijk in de duitse forum in de eerste deel bij "Ankündigungen/News/Info". Aldaar u zal een informatie vinden over de nieuwe version PRO X. Helaas alleen in de duitse taal.

Dear Ralf,

Thanks for the tip.
I'll read that first and maybe I'll wait for the latest version to buy.
