    Hi,

    I know this has been brought up before and some newer locos (but not all newly released locos) have the ability to decide whether the player is wanting to press Sifa or Pzb, but could we please get a dedicated button or shift combo for Sifa?

    It's so annoying to hear the Pzb announcement/voice when I just want Sifa. So much so that unless a loco has the feature described above, I have to play with Sifa disabled :(

    Having a dedicated button/combo for the US bell and/or guardian buzzer would also be great, but I'd settle for just Sifa for now.

    Thanks.

    I have been using the rear paddles of my XB Elite v2 controller (PC) with some success. You can now map them natively to key presses in the Xbox Accessories app in Windows.

    I should have said that I’m specifically referring to Xbox or PlayStation here

    You can do the same on Xbox I think, pretty sure the Xbox Accessories app supports keyboard commands. The question is, does TSW on Xbox support Q, B, and PgDn key presses? Try it on a USB keyboard first, but it will require an Elite controller.

    Thank you. I know I can plug a keyboard in, but I’d like to just use the controller and have this natively supported in game. Maybe an option in the menu to choose some button assignments?

    I would suggest if they do split the functionality and have to create one of the two requiring a shift operation on the controller that it should be PZB that is the shift function and Sifa as the simple circle press, just because it is used far more often.
