Nightraker Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Well 1.47's downloaded and my due's are paid..for both RailMaster and Mobile Control (Ipad) and I have no quarms....well worth the money....unlike a lot of people think..... so just do it...and I do'nt have a full working layout.....not until Detection ....as my layout will be N gauge and I know the detection sensors will be OO/HO size....so....alittle modification may have to be manipulated.....come on Hornby?

Fishmanoz Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I'm only running evaluation versions of both but already had 1.47 loaded. Just opened the iPad app and it downloaded an update and told me it is 1.11, which I think is what was already there. Significantly, it didn't ask me to buy and I didn't go further as the laptop with RM is off right now so it was going to fail to connect anyway.

BigNoj Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Firstly 1.47 is the first update that I have not been able to download either directly or through www.powerpos.......... Secondly does anyone else think £9.99 is too much for an unproven app that seems to work intermittently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishmanoz Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Are you saying you are stuck at 1.46 because 1.47 fails? Does it not download for you or fail to install, and if the latter, what error message do you get? Whether 10 pounds seems cheap, good value, or expensive will surely be a matter of how much use you see for it. Some on this forum think buying multiple copies is worth it to them. Certainly the functionality and reliability of the software is an issue. However, if you check out the threads on this forum, it is clear that the RM people have been working flat out to improve this and have achieved a lot. Clearly they got the functionality to the point where they decided to go ahead on the promised release date, and they are to be commended for that. It's also clear that, if they stopped further development right now, the product would not have full functionality and would be less than people are expecting. But there is no evidence to suggest this will be the case, in fact the evidence is to the contrary and I believe that improvement will continue apace. But then, maybe I am too trusting and you have it right. Time will tell and you can always delay you purchasing decision until the improvements occur (or not).

BigNoj Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 It won't download in RM stating firewall problems, not happened before and same message with it turned off. Powerpos site stating page not found. Thnks for comment about fish, how did you know I was originally from Hull!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMSTim Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Sometimes both firewalls can be on ... Windows and your antivirus software. Have you checked them both? When you say it is saying "page not found", what page is that referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigNoj Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Nothing to do with firewalls, RM gave me the wrong link to Powerpos. Found old address and put in 147 at end and all worked ok. However iphone demo only works sometimes so not sure whether to spend the £9.99. It's not the price but the principle after shelling out £1000+ for dcc layout, logmein was free couldn't Hornby have made it free to the people who have stayed loyal and kept with RM throughout all the changes & updates. Why is it that the downloads are not through the Hornby site? Life used to be so much simpler when I set up my 15' oval, wound my O gauge, pulled out the forward rod and watched it go round, wished I still had it !!!!!!!

Fishmanoz Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Can you be more specific about it only working sometimes please? I find it takes forever polling the RM IP address from my iPad to set itself up initially. I think the reason everything is coming from Powerpos is that they have been changing things at a great rate during beta testing so it has been easier for the development team to have the updates on their own site. And for Rm itself, you can't tell where the updates are coming from if they happen from within RM. in fact, the only thing you get via Hornby is the evaluation version anyway. Why they only sell the full version via CD not online is a mystery though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
