There have been a lot of improvements since the release of version 3.0, as you can see in the list below. If you want to try Raily, you can download a demo version here If you would like to order the software you can do this directly from this page . Please do not forget to send us your plans, so that we can add them to our plan library and will support other Raily users.

System requirements:

• Intel Pentium or compatible
• 32 MB free RAM
• 30 MB free harddrive space
• Mouse or a similar pointing device
• Graphics: min. 800x600 (16 Bit color depth), 1024x768 recommended
• Recent graphic card driver
• CD-ROM-Drive
• Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP

The most important and improved functions of version 4.0:

• With the option for different views you can easily modify the view of Raily in the steps Simple - Classic - Professional:
   
  • The simple view allows new users to work with the program right away.
  • Users of a previous version will handle the program right away in the classic view.
  • The professional view allows to use more complex features from the design of the plans to the design of new trains.
     
• Different assistants simplify the start with Raily by using different start dialogues for choosing modules etc.
   
• Flex tracks can now be entered by using length, radius and angle or can be used as common Bezier curves.
   
• The new Autoflex-function allows to automatically close two open ends with flex tracks.
   
• You can yourself design buildings, trees and special objects with the simple to use editors.
   
• The new object repository offers a lot of predefined objects as trees, mountains, buildings and trains. Objects can easily be adapted to a new scale, so that every object is available for all scales. In the professional mode the user can add self-made objects, which will get a realistic view by projecting pictures, to the repository.
   
• For the first time filled polygons with textures can be shown in 3D mode.
   
• New is also the completely free choice for the camera position (even directly in the plan), so that you can see the railroad from any perspective.
   
• You can let a train ride on all of the more than 100 track modules. This is convenient to check, if all pieces of the railroad are correctly connected
   
• A different option is to use the drivers view for riding through the railroad (all viewing angles are possible). The size of the view is also freely selectable. You do not need any DirectX or OpenGL!
   
• The next switch , which the train will face, can be switched by hitting the space bar.
   
• Plans from any previous version of Raily can be opened normally (automatic import). They will afterwards be saved in the new file format.
   
• Self-made modules from a previous version can be simply converted.

These features were already included in version 3.0:

• Define overall size of the railroad, automatic refreshing of the inventory, printing of the plans in a defined scale, editing flex tracks and printing in 1:1 scale. Exporting of the plans to DXF, HPGL, BMP and EMF, and lots more.
   
• Plans or parts of it can be printed in a user defined scale, if necessary splitting to several pages
   
• Calculation of rising tracks and the resulting shortening.
   
• 3-D viewing and printing of plans.
   
• Copying and moving of tracks or parts of the plan via drag and drop.
   
• Up to 300 layers to structure the plans.
   
• Life Update! Over the Internet you can update the module as well as the program files.
   
• Inventory calculates the costs for the missing tracks.
   
• Poles can be defined and placed along the track.
   
• Export plans to the file formats: HPLG, BMP, DFX and EMF.
   
• User defined lines and polygons can be imported.
   
• Polygons can be imported via the Windows clipboard.
   
• Import all plans and elements from previous versions.
   
• Plan browser.
