It takes a little bit of work and changes (swap keyboard with gamepad) but for me it's 100% worth it. Drive your train with realistic throttle, brake, reverser, and switch controls, plus 34 programmable buttons. RailDriver® Desktop Train Cab Controller — feel like you're driving a train, not a computer. Firmware is the software, or programming code, inside the door Panel controller itself. This may be updated occasionally to provide new features or improvements.

Development of the PBC is at an advanced stage, although no firm release dates have been set yet. Other products will be researched when the PBC development is completed. I am aware of the problems with the "find time factor" (I also had problems with it myself). But this should be improved in the new version. Dovetail Games announced they will provide support for external controllers in a future release of TSW2. They are currently working on a programming interface to enable 2-way controller communication similar to TS2020. When this is released we will be working on support as soon as possible.

I still use the XInput solution in TSW2 and TSW3 because controlling throttle and brakes directly is really nice. Also, with the other tools I mentioned in my previous post I can split and remap my hardware levers to the Raildriver axis so that they match 1:1 with the loco I'm driving. For example, the Raildriver has throttle and brake on the same lever which is not the case for all locos like in the BR 185. I have included a lot of trains, but configured them to match my "thrustmaster t flight hotas x" and the German language in the shortest time. Thus, only a few input is needed until the first train will run under control of the Horn & Cab Buttons - A three-digit LED speedometer, horn or whistle lever and eight programmable cab buttons.

The RailDriver® Desktop Train Cab Controller includes prototypical levers and controls for the ultimate interface to computer-based railroading. An internal bass speaker supplements your existing sound system and adds realistic vibration to the controls. It always bothered me with other programs that they became quite inaccurate and also did not change the controller continuously variable. Therefore, I wrote my own program.Edit: Note that if you have official Xbox or PlayStation controllers then you obviously don't need to map the gamepad to controller 1 in X360CE because they will work in TSW out of the box. comfortable and efficient editing functions with extensive capabilities, to undo and restore entered data, You can select whether the touchpad surface should act as a mouse, which is what I use, or as for 'swipe' controls, that could use some use in Train Simulator. In cabs and passenger views, you can press the left and right arrow keys to change your seat - maybe you could use the swipe function to do that?
