    On S-bahn Zentralschweiz, pressing right stick on the controller for external camera view is often not working. A restart of the game can solve it for a brief moment. I also think the issue is more happinging when driving in the direction of Luzern.

    I haven't seen this issue on any other route. Does someone has any idea?

    Are you using classic or immersion controller? I use the classic with this option, you press and hold, and a selection wheel pops up, select the camera option.

    I'm using the default settings, so I suppose it's the immersion one. I will try classic and see if this is working. It looks like there is something bugged on this route.

    Yes, I see what you mean, as for the camera, using the classic layout will get you the camera options, I also noticed the head lights don't go on.

    The most weird thing, sometimes the outside camera is working normally, but this is most of the time coming from Luzern.

    No headlights indeed, at least no visible beam. In the Luzern tunnels you don't see anything. I like the route itself, but those annoying things do need a fix.

    I did some more testing, starting at Luzern, the outside camera is working, but not at stations. Starting from Surzee, camera is never working. I also tried the classic layout, it was working but no idea yet how to move the camera.

    With the classic controller layout, using the camera outside the cab, it does take a bit of getting used to / getting the hang of.
    Y = changes from camera movement to drive mode.
    B = alerter/sifa/tpws for PZB I use a keyboard if I want to use it.
    Left D-pad = fast tap works whipper's cycles off and on & speed
    Left D-pad = Long press brings up the door open close selection wheel.
    Right D-pad = cycle the lights options
    Left & Right triggers move the camera up and down after pressing Y to get camera movement when outside.

    Have a look at the controller layout image in settings, just mess around, use the training center.
    This is an older route, but you can still file a support ticket.

    I've tested the external camera with the classic layout, with Y the movement is working correctly. I have to admit I prefer the immersion layout, but atleast I can now watch this beautifull SBB train from the outside.

    Thanks, happy railroading too!

    Enjoy it's a nice train. I have gotten used to the classic layout and like it better, but to each their own.
