Howbi Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Hi Chris...........you must be privileged to get revision 5...........my page still shows rev 4 dated 08/01/16 HB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 HB, ignore what is shown on the top of the RM forum page. That text is manually written in by Admin. It is only a hyperlink to the HRMS powerpos.com server anyway, where the RM download file is located. Even though it says revision 4 on this forum site, if you download the file and look at 'properties' it reports the application version as being 1.63.5.0 the 5 in the file version number is the revision number. Come Monday when Admin return to the office, the text on the forum link will probably be updated as it has on previous ocassions when I have reported a new file revision being available. Since the HRMS powerpos.com server and the RM setup file is controlled by HRMS not Hornby, it takes a while for text on this Hornby site to be updated.

Chrissaf Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Any ideas what it updates/fixes?No.......Where do they tell us?They don't........Every time a new release is issued the same question comes up shortly thereafter. What is in the new version?.In principle, with each major release HRMS include a file in the Railmaster program folder called "release notes.txt". This text file gives only the significant changes for the new major release. Unfortunately, going from revision 4 to revision 5 is considered by HRMS a minor release or maintenance release. It will only be 'bug' fixes and not additional 'features'. HRMS to date, have never provided a new updated "release notes.txt" file for a minor release, only major releases..Even when there is a new updated "release notes.txt" file. Invariably, apart from new features it just states 'bug fixes' without specifying which ones..Occasionally, HRMS may report in this forum, when asked, what has been fixed in a new revision, but usually it is down to the users to find out for themselves..If you keep checking back here. I daresay users will post any changes and/or improvements they have identified over the next week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yelrow Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 So, are we saying it was not first class before( tongue very much in cheek). I presume this release has solved your previous problem .john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I haven't downloaded it yet John but I'm not holding my breath.@JohnThat's very much a tongue sticking out of mouth - NO.As we say in Cyprus siga-siga slowly-slowly. It's enough that HRMS has adopted industry standard version configuration without hoping that they have sorted all my reported problems as well.I'll go and have a look, now that I have trashed my old end-2-end layout, built another more compact roundy-round one (for better play value I hope) and got all the essential (but not all) electric string joined up again.Rob..Memo to self - Maybe I should change the spinning wheel to a wavy RAF flag...

96RAF Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Having downloaded Rev 5 I note no change on my problems:A) Second throttle still does not echo Elite speed change commands.B) Second throttle function button blue numbers are still corrupt.In both cases first throttle works fine apart from function blue numbering is out of sequence and different according to which loco is selected.See photo.../media/tinymce_upload/3e0637a366326cbf5398208713c5556e.PNG-resized.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Back to the plot:.Based upon this post, one fix in the new release may relate to reading R8247 decoder settings using eLink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so distracted I started parting with money which pleased SWMBO so I have blocked the spinning gizmo and the avatar now just reads 'RAF96'..............sorry Rob..............HB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJ_model_trains Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Where is your spinner RAF96 ? 😆 Emoticons and Spell check at last! 😎 All we need on the forum now is PM's NOTE: If you add emoticons and then go back to edit your message the icons disappear! STRANGE: I went in to edit, removed them and placed new ones... now they have come back at the opposite end of the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
