No reboot will change status. Plus the message :"Es ist kein Gleisformatprozessor verfuegbar. Sie koennen keine Loks fahren und Magnetartikel schalten." (no track-format-processor available. You cannot run locs and control (or switch) turnouts etc.) Is there a way to reset the control? Thanks Werner R

Thanks Werner R Did you leave the USB stick connected when you did the reboot, or leave it connected to the Internet (whichever way you did the update)? The update of the GFP is a seperate update after the cs2 reboots. It sounds like the GFP hasn't updated. Depending how old your cs2 is it may need to do at least two updates to get to the current update level as well. I don't know what the compatability is between the various cs2 software releases and the GFP releases are, but i could see the possibility of a required update for the GFP. Typically each update will require a reboot of the cs2 before proceeding with the next update, i don't think any of the updates will automatically do a reboot.

Even if I have to do all the updates again, it seems to be better than spending USD 1,000 + on a new CS3 thanks Werner

I have hardware version 4.33 and software version 4.3.0 (11). I was not updating the software but had installed a new mfx point. That seemed to go OK (passed initial tests). I had also installed RailControl Pro on my iPad and it seemed to work quite well (in a 5 minute test run). If there is a fix, it would be great to know. Many thanks.

Many thanks. Klaus I believe you have 2 actions to make Reset you CS2 to how it was when delivered 1- make a back-up of your CS2 present status on a USB memory by going to "setup" tab (top), then select CS2 (bottom left), last select the USB check mark (top right) and last push the SAVE button, give it a name and confirm 2- restore by pushing the RESTORE button while INTERNAL is checked. Select to in-cs2 stored file named Reset_Maerklin.tgz Now you have cleaned your CS2 but not changed yet the software Update the CS2 with a USB memory - use ANOTHER USB memory and format it. - go to the Märklin Gertman website Here are Märklin instructions The current software version for the USB update is 4.2 (with GFP 3.81). The current software version for the USB update is 4.2 (with GFP 3.81). This Märklin info is false. The last revision is 4.3.0(11) and the last GFP (Gleisformatprocessor) is 3.85 To update the CS2 using a USB stick, please proceed as follows: - Download the cs2update.img (128MB) and save it on a USB stick in the main directory. - You will find the CS2 Update file (cs2update.img) at the top of the download area. After confirming the license agreement, you can download the file. - Insert the USB stick with the Central Station ready for operation and then call the setup : CS2 : [Program update] or setup : CS2 : Update : [USB stick] function in the Central Station setup. - The exact process of the USB update is explained in the document CS2_update_Info_ab_3_6.pdf (0.5MB). - the USB update is as follows: - Download the cs2update.img (128MB) and save it on the USB stick.

I just did it on my (already up-to-date) CS2 Here is how it went How to see, which version of the GFP you have? - select SETUP tab - select INFO on the lower line - Version shows the GFP number 3.85 I hope this helps Jean
