Welcome to Automatic Train Control. The best software for everyone.

 You will be just amazes at what this little piece of software can do!

    Here is a brief look at what ATC can do with your personal computer connected the ithe internet or to a digital command control system. The full instructions are included in the software package.

    Automatic Train Control now has...
 

• See a web page of the last user to use the software. Automatic Train Control. (The software now takes a screen capture of itself  and uploads it to the server for everyone to look at.)
• See a live stream video from the host server. (If you can't connect to my server to control my locomotives, someone else must be connected. Try watching what they are doing from the web page.)
  
•  Save all you older EPROM settings and re-store then to the new EPROMS! Edit all the cab prameter and command control unit with anew utility screen.
  
•     Full communication support with your digital command control and your C/MRI units via the serial port and the ASCII command set. You can see the commands being send to the command station or the C/MRI in the main window, as well as interact with them by typing in manually.
  
•     Full database of your roster. This database contains all the information you want to hold about your locomotive including prototype information and model information Prototype information is only available to customers that financially support the project). The prototype information is being developed as we speak. All the information will be easily applied by selecting the appropriate prototype and its data will be transferred to your database.
•     Full database of all the configuration variables located in your locomotive. For each locomotive you have in your database, you can house the configuration variable settings for that decoder installed. This includes the speed table. Arrangements have been made for specific type decoder information to the database.
•     Full database for your track plan. With the adoption of the C/MRI system, you can define your track plan using our  centralized traffic control screen. Just add or remove blocks and the database is adjusted accordingly. Lots of paramters to ajust the way you want you signals and block to operate. Its fully compatible with Bruce Chubbs CMRI system.
  
•     Automatic Speed tables. This is one of the best features of the program. Using a special cable connected to you layout, ATC can measure the scale speed of your locomotive as it travels around a loop. With the information, ATC calculated the speed table configuration variables for you locomotive. No more guessing involved! Perfect matched between all locomotives and decoders.
•     Completed consist control, with a separate database, ATC now remember all your consists, direction. It even allows faster ways to delete, change, change direction of a locomotive in a consist. Another great feature!
•     Specific configuration variables setting, each manufacture has configuration variables setting for their specific decoder (CV49-64 and CV112-128). You can now edit these specific setting with ease. We've include information on each specific decoder. For a list of currently supported decoder in our data base .
•     Consist control macros. Now that is a big name for a database I installed to record command to the digital command control units to be played back later. I use this feature at train shows allot. It allows me to run up to five consists automatically. Additions are being made to include block control.
•     Graphic User Interface. Oh, now we are getting technical, but oh how sweet this option is. With the aid of graphics, you now can ride in the cab of four different locomotives, a diesel electric 9-40CW, GP38-2, an electric Acela, and a steam engine, the Flying Scotsman. Each with their own different cab controls to run your locomotive on your layout. All features are used, blowers, injectors, firebox boors, whistles, horns, reverser, throttle, dynamic brake, automatic brake (train line), independent (locomotive brake), lights to control your train. Its almost turning out to be a train simulator !
  
• Automatic Train Control supports digital sound decoders. If you have a digital sound decoder installed in a locomotive, just activate the option and each control in the graphics user interface will use the appropriate sound on your sound decoder.
•     Now supports live video streaming. If you have a wireless camera installed in your locomotive, you can have the video images imported (streamed) to the graphic user interface. Now this really makes driving your locomotive real, seeing where you are driving on your layout!
•     Random Sounds. Now while using your program you can play random recordings of trains, train crews, dispatchers, track foremen, etcerta with the accompanying wave files.
•     Complete internet control. With this new version you can now control another persons locomotive, via the internet. See the action real time including the video. Soon to come with be other features, such as consisting control, and dispatching.
