Bonjour à tous, en complément voici un article en anglais sur la futur base, date de sortie prévu pour début décembre, eh eh juste avant Noël... sympa non

Coming Soon - C7042 6-Car Advanced Digital Powerbase
While looking around the web the other day I found a number of sites advertising the new C7042 6-Car Advanced Digital power base. The exciting piece for me is that this power base offers the ability to have analogue or digital racing. Personally I think there are a few people out there like me that would like to play with digital but can't afford to chip every car so need analogue to race them. This power base seems to fit the bill. There are a few questions flying around in that if you have the digital lane changers and switch to analogue what will happen. One worrying thought is the track will short circuit which could caused damage to the power base (i guess). However I am sure some form of protection would be installed.

The Features
Digital Racing up to 6 cars.
Clear user interface - standard and advanced menu options.
Skill level control - 5 optional power settings per car.
Multiple game modes.
Instant push button car ID setting via hand throttle.
Advanced hand throttle calibration.
Power now 15 volts.

Analogue or Digital modes.
Large, portable display screen (60mm x 100mm portrait)

Auxiliary port provided

From the above list this power base promises to be the best best thing. If it had connectivity to the internet to allow online racing then it would be the ultimate product that every scalextric owner must have. Clearly it is aimed at users like myself who run analogue systems and want to dip our toe with the digital pool. The built in features allowing car and throttle control will help level the playing field and make more interesting races. Another nice feature is a portable screen. Its probably not going to be big enough for most people so would be nice if a standard monitor could be used.
The race management side of things is also packed with all the good toys.

Two software modes
1. Basic - allowing for simple, quick start racing.
2. Advanced - access to enhanced features and fine tuning settings

Software Features

Structured menu: configuration, setup and race
Timing to 1/1000th second
Track call - brake button or start button can be used to stop or reduce speed of all cars
Power limiting - Max power can be set to 50%, 75% or 88%
Easy set IDs - One button press to select ID mode
Throttle controller set up - fine tune set up to configure to individual
Pace cars - up to six cars can be set up at a programmed fix speed
Race mode set up - Power can be cut or reduced at the end of each race
Grid power off - Power can be disabled whilst setting the grid
Two way Aux link
Updatable software
Race display - Grand prix, Endurance or Pursuit
As you may have guessed by now I have this on my list. The power base is scheduled to be available from October which should be just in time for people to start the switch before christmas. I think my letter to Santa will include a number of digital chips and lane changers

Design du packaging... je pense d'apres les forums Anglais qu'il y aurai 2 packaging, un avec la base seule et un autre base + compte tour.

Bonjour,
Entendu dire que c'était reporté au premier trimestre 2009.

bonjour

quelqu'un a des news la dessus, j'ai vu que sur certains site anglais on pouvait la reserver pour une livraison 1er trimestre mais sans plus d'infos.

Ca ne fait pas longtemps que j'ai mon classic sport mais j'ai déjà envie de passer au digital vue que j'hésitais déjà avant. J'ai vu que l'on pouvait brider les voitures etc...........ce serait super pour mon tiot.

merci
