- Hampton (k4kfh@github)With ZephyrCab, I aim to deliver the best possible driving experience for modelers, giving them the same experience as a real engineer. You'll have to carefully accelerate, operate simulated air brakes, and deal with events like wheelslip and even running out of fuel. All the while, your existing DCC-equipped models will be responding to your controls as if they were 1:1 scale. You'll hear the engine rev when you notch up the throttle, hear air hissing when you operate the brakes, and hear the compressor kick on when your pressure is low. With the help of some really awesome people, I'm building a software that I hope will make everyone's layout more enjoyable.
ZephyrCab functions very similarly to Bruce Kingsley's "Ultimate DCC Throttle" project, demonstrated here.
ZephyrCab is quite early in development right now, so I do not recommend that non-developers try it at this point.
