WELL MTH, WE'RE WAITING!!!!!!

I think they recently said "by winter", so they have until the 21st.

I think MTH said it will be out at the end of fall. December 21st is the first day winter. Hold your breath till then, and remember that Christmas day will be awesome with the Premium app!!

Max,

No, you're wrong. The stated date was 12/21/16. 

I waited up to four years for delivery from them. They are right on schedule again!

I'm just praying it works, whenever it gets here.

I'd rather wait and it works than rush it and everyone here complaining 

Two words: Windows Vista. Thanks, but I think they should take all the time they need to get it right.

Matt, I think they will listen to you more... and I'm OK with that!

Any news on the app's release? 

It will be right.

In his newsletter dated Dec. 18th, Steve Nelson (a.k.a. Mr. Muffin) announced the premium MTH app would be released January 2017.  He has a kickoff event scheduled in his store on Feb. 11, 2017.  Now it's sure money so Barry and Marty can come out from behind their secrecy bond and confirm.  Then we can all relax over the holidays.

At this tine, there is nothing to confirm except that Steve said what he said.

Meanwhile, me and my little handheld MTH v4.x remote seems to run all my layout trains just fine, thank you. No fuss, no muss.

Geeze, some people so impatient, like a kid on Christmas morning for the next shiny bauble.

And besides I am the last person in the world who does not own a smart phone, Ipad, I phone I whatever.  My little 1990 era flip phone lets me make and receive phone calls, can't take pictures, send text, boil eggs, wash dishes etc.  Sometimes less is more.

it's for the people like me who may have upgraded to 5.x for whatever reasons including some bugs in 4.x versions that messed up running consists.

I didn't want the latest, greatest...

I just want my consists to run correctly. 5.x was worse for me than any bugs in 4.x. It appeared to me that the bugs weren't cured and may have been built upon to make matters worse. If you only run one or two engines at a time, you probably don't know what I'm describing.

I believe we're waiting for the new version to cure some of the bugs, so we can run large consists better.

I can press the direction button to try and cure one bug in 5.0. It doesn't work when an engine gets messed up.

If you want to just stay basic, I would just run with a handle on a Z4000.

Not sure if this was covered or the next upgrade will include but how can I sort my engines in order ??

I have 24 engines and no rime or reason how they appear on my list.

Thanks !

You can do that now.  First decide what "order" you want to put your engines in.  Second change the address of all 24 engines to number 25 or higher up to 99.  Then change each one one by one to where you want it to be in the 1 to 24 address range.

WOW !! Why didn't I think of that !!!

Thanks !!

Sorry got excited to soon. changing the address keeps it in the same order.

If I change the first engine to any other number it stays at the top of the active list.

Do I need to remove all the engines and start over ?
