| The
client Gplan was originally developed to be operated with
the Edits-Box
and later changed to communicate with the DDW-sever using
the SRCP-protocol.
Gplan allows to develop track layouts and to operate turnouts,
signals, feedback decoders and to run locomotives in combination
with the DDW server.
Apart from the Windows version I have developed a Linux version
with Kylix (Delphi)
which is available on the download
page
Gplan
is not yet finished and will further be developed according
to special needs. Further plans include implemention of joystick
support, support of further locomotive decoder functions and
of automatic event-driven operations.
The properties
of Gplan:
- Easy
graphical design of track layouts
- Operation
of turnouts and signals with a mouse click
- Recovery
of signal and turnout state during start up
- Mixed
operation of Marklin/Motorola decoders and NMRA/DCC decoders
- Definition
of 64 predefined routes possible
- Event-driven
information of feedback modules (S88 and compatible)
- Possible
operation in a network
- Open
Source, therefore usable and extendable for every one. The
program was developed with C++
- Builder by Borland
- Compatible
with the Simple
Railroad Command Protocol (SRCP)
- operating
lokos with two Joysticks or home
made devices. You can either use digital joysticks (then
you need ar least DirectX version 8) or analog joysticks.
Without DirectX installed you have to start the 'NT' version
of Gplan.
