About this deal

NOTE: Train simulation software is required. For compatibility, see the information at raildriver.com For me, at least, these give me virtually flawless gameplay, free of any stutter or freezing, with typical FPS of 70 or more and great looking graphics. I also do extensive work in the World Editor. However, if you want to use any of these controllers wirelessly, you will probably need an adapter. Official ones are very expensive, so I usually just use a cable to connect it. The 8BitDo Wireless Adapter is a cheaper alternative to official adapters, but might have issues with individual controllers. If your PC is compatible, I believe it is possible to use an Xbox One/Series X/S controller wirelessly without an adapter. The PBC has been designed to work straight out of the box after installing the included software. No complex setup or configuration for each train is required. This has been done for you. The only setting you might have to If you haven't done so already, you will want to make some adjustments to the game settings to get the best out of Train Simulator. It is important to choose settings which match the capabilities of your computer.

Microsoft Train Simulator - Articles - The Raildriver: Hardware for Train Simulator". www.microsoft.com . Retrieved 2009-01-24. This is the gauge you need to keep an eye on to ensure that steam pressure is not falling too low - or your train will simply slow to a halt. Now, onto controllers: Windows 10 natively supports Xbox 360 wired controllers. Every controller that you use on the PC, with some exceptions, are considered by Windows to be Xbox 360 controllers - even Xbox One/SeriesX/S controllers. Many controllers do work, however, without any extra programs, as Steam has a compatibility mode for most of them. This makes them be interpreted as X-Input controllers, but all button icons will be for the Xbox 360 or One, unless your game specifically has a modified UI for different controllers. Train Simulator isn't one of them. It's also worth pointing out that the menus in Train Simulator are pretty dreadful for controllers, so you'll want to use a mouse to navigate them. The above menu shows various statistics for gameplay, as well as your list of friends. You can't really do anything from this tab, apart from changing the name shown here underneath your official username, but it is okay as a reference.Many people choose to launch the game directly from the desktop, without starting Steam. This saves some system memory which would otherwise be used by the Steam interface.

Microsoft Train Simulator does not come with an application programming interface included. Therefore, RailDriver uses alternative methods to communicate with the software. It reads settings directly from the heads-up display on the screen, which therefore must be in view at all times when using the hardware. To operate RailDriver with Train Simulator it is necessary to run additional software supplied with the product. [5] In this example (given for reference) we shall assume we are running Windows 11 and that our GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060. When you wish to get moving, pull the brake lever all the way down to zero and wait for the brake pressure level to reach its maximum reading. Then slowly move the lever up until you see the word 'Running' in the box above the pressure gauge. Press 'C' to allow steam to escape from the cylinders. During the first few turns of the wheels, this will allow any water which has collected inside to be expelled. If you don't do this, the cylinders will explode and your train will be disabled. After you get going, remember to press 'C' again once the wheels have completed four full turns or more to prevent steam being expelled needlessly from the cylinders.I have been building controllers and button box for a while, and TS was among the few games that would benefit from the realism perspective, from such controllers, but the time spent to make one, is not really worth it. TS has NO analog controls... that is enough to kill completely the interest.

When this gauge is coloured green, it means that steam is being produced at a rate equal to or greater than the rate at which it is being used up. Please note: All the above instructions have been given as an example for users with Windows 11 using an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 GPU. If yours is different, or your version of Windows is different, the procedure will also be different. But the principle is the same: In short. make sure the video card is installed and running, and make sure it is configured so that the game uses it rather than using the CPU's integrated graphics card.

I started small with a couple of buttons and some hand held squeegee handles attached to some rotary pots before attempting the final job. Firmware is the software, or programming code, inside the PBC itself. This may be updated occasionally to provide new features or improvements. Find the edition you want to run (RailWorks.exe for the 32-bit edition, or RailWorks64.exe for the 64-bit edition)

Instead, still under the Drive Menu, select the 'Standard' tab, or if it's a career workshop scenario select the 'Career' tab. Throttle/Brake handle – The PBC had a Throttle/Brake handle which is typically used as 4 brake notches and upto 7 throttle notches. Start learning how to program arduino or similar controllers; then once you get that, start adding a couple of buttons, the same type you find for arcade (they are big and either round or square shaped, so they look like train buttons, plus they have LED inside to light up).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. 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. Anyway, the whole control console will look pretty nice once it's complete, MUCH better than just a Raildriver, but I wish I had Bekns train controls of course! :) I just wanted to point out that you can use the Raildriver as part of a DIY project, kinda depending on how complicated you're gonna build it. I bought a used Raildriver (it had barely ever been used and was in the original box), so that saved me some money too. Depending on your system's specifications, you may wish to use the 32-bit edition rather than the 64-bit edition - or vice versa. Route builders sometimes find the 32-bit edition more robust in certain situations involving linear object editing. For general gameplay, the 64-bit edition is preferred by most.
