Using disconnected connections??

Phil G All Messages By This Member #233210 This may be a stupid question, but .... My laptop CAN connect to my XpressNet based DCC command station (and that's how I run? my layouts) BUT I also use the laptop to manage JMRI when it is NOT connected to XpressNet - when I just get an "internal" connection Is it at all possible to have JMRI operate as IF there was a valid connection (so I can create turnouts and routes etc)? I accept that I won't be able to actually CONTROL anything, but at this point that's moot (no layout!) It would just be nice to be able to pre-prepare some stuff...... Thanks Phil G

Set Preferences -> File Locations to share the user files location.

Mike All Messages By This Member #233214 As Dave said make a new profile, then select Xpressnet simulator as the layout connection. If you set the User File Location the same as your other connection then you will be able to easily open panels etc. used by that one. ? I do this to setup modular layouts at home on the simulator and then connect to the layout a meeting with a LIUSB. ? You can control the virtual turnouts and turn on and off sensors, so you can see if Logix, panels, routes etc. will work. ? Mike

I'd never really needed to worry about Profiles before (having a simple layout and a single control point) But now, with two Lenz systems and a SPROG, profiles suddenly become important. Though I hadn't noticed the simulator connection options THANKS Phil G On 07/08/2024 17:17, Dave Sand via groups.io wrote: toggle quoted message Show quoted text Phil, Create a second profile with a simulated XpressNet connection.
