Obviously written by someone who has never run trains with a smart phone. It is a unique and very enjoyable experience. Running DCS with a phone or tablet is light years ahead of using the rather clunky DCS remote. And it is the only way we're going to get young people interested in our hobby.
This is written by a 70-year old who really enjoys running trains with my iPhone.
Same as my 78 year old dad who likes to run my trains from his iPhone when he comes over.
It's no big deal that there are those who don't want to do this. Fine. There are many ways to enjoy the hobby. If you don't want to do this you don't have to, but why rail against those of us who enjoy these technical things.
There's times I run my layout from the ZW handles. Then the Legacy or DCS remote, and finally my iPhone. All are equally fun, to me, which is all that matters.
