Flex Switches: A Compact Guide with Explanations

The Flex Track button in the upper right corner is now simply called “Flex” and has been translated in the English interface. It now appears only in the “Select” and “Tracks” toolbars, where it is also functional.

The “?” next to it explains when Trackplanner automatically inserts a Flex track—such as when moving a turnout or laying parallel tracks—and when it does not.

New: If the toggle is off, a turnout will only become a curved turnout when moved across a curve boundary if it fits without a Flex track. Otherwise, it remains as is, and the handle indicates that a Flex track would be required. Accordingly, the preview “becomes a curved turnout” now only appears if the modification actually works, and it updates immediately after the switch is toggled.
