The LokProgrammer software 5.2.10 is now available for download. This includes the firmware 5.12.176 for all LokSound 5 and LokPilot 5 decoders. Main changes are the addition of another effect for servo outputs: ‘Pantograph bounce’ can simulate a nicer pantograph movement. Furthermore, the ‘Johnson bar control’ effect for steam locomotives has been improved: The servo for now moves when the requested speed (the speed selected on the throttle) has been selected and not just when the locomotive is already moving.

In the LokProgrammer interface, in the function mapping section, the sound slot numbers are now placed in brackets in the ‘Sounds’ column for better orientation.
