Hi,

Am I the only one that find the CS3 track editor extremely tricky to use?

Thanks

By working diligently you get used to using it smoothly. Use your mouse to make it easyThumpUp ThumpUp

I found that connecting to the CS3 from my laptop via the VNC Screen Server, makes it a good bit easier. Though even with my laptop's 15 inch touch screen, a mouse provides much better control.

Besides, you can't beat working on your layout from bed, first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee Smile

Märklin will upgrade CS3 to fix the problems about track editor.
Also a new digital book will arrive out soon about version 2.0.
I believe in this book it will stand further about track editor version 2.0.
You can also download E-book.
But this new book is not arrived yet.

I think part of my problem was trying to lay track too close together. Keeping two + apart, it seems a lot better.

That said, I do have an odd problem with VNC freezing. Bug in the latest software?

Thanks

I have found it difficult and in particular joining two turnouts using the docking. My cs2 was very much easier. So far this is my only complaint about the CS3.
Take care I like Marklin and will defend the worlds greatest model rail manufacturer.

Thanks for the warning my CS3 is still sitting in it's box

I have just started to build a new layout and like all things it's problematic


I just have a question in regard to using circuit tracks and contact tracks - Is it better to have contact tracks in blocks on mainlines and branches and use contact tracks for the
uncoupler's only or use contact tracks for the lot
