    Hello Chris,
    I have now also purchased a TSC-X controller and am using your interface software.
    I am currently setting it up and so far it is working quite well; the levers are doing what they should.
    However, I am having problems with the locomotives from the Czech manufacturer K-Trains.
    With the Vectron, the traction controller does not move at all, but the train brake and locomotive brake are working as they should.
    With the TRAXX, only the locomotive brake moves.

    Do you have any idea what the problem could be?

    Best regards,

    Peter

    Hi Peter
    This sounds like the names for the levers in the loco are missing from the ControlNames.txt file.
    This happens when the creator of the asset does not use the standard names such as ThrottleAndBrake or Reverser etc.

    Can you look in the Inputmapper folder and find the folder relating to K-Trains, then inside that folder will be folders for both the Vectron and Traxx. Can you email me one of the files from each folder so that I can ascertain the names and send you a updated ControlNames.txt file.

    My email address is at the end of the end of the 'TS Classic Raildriver and Joystick Interface Manual V3.3.0.8' located in the Manuals folder.

    Download DirectX from here
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/jk7oa3jcszgc3ac/DirectX.zip?dl=1

    Install Net Frameworks by running the ndp48-web .exe located in the 'Net 4.8\Web Install' folder.
    If this doesn't fix the error, can you post the full error meaasge.

    Could you also post your query in English so I don't have to use Google Translate.
    Chris

    CobraOne The K-Trains Vectron requires the Knob on the top of the Power handle to be depressed with the E key

    faber2311 Can you drive the Vectron using the Keyboard instead of the Controller?

    I found the error, and it wasn't related to the .NET Framework because it had the latest version installed, just like the one installed directly. It was due to Visual Studio 2010 or others. I installed all versions from 2005 to 2022, and then it worked.

    Best regards,

    Silvio

    Dear cobra one,
    Is it possible to turn off the messages on the screen. The AWS warning the DOORS OPEN warning etc.
    I use the tsc-x controller and I use the leds from my akai midi controller for the warnings

    Hi Rob
    If you are using Standard Mode then untick Settings\Overlay otherwise go to Settings\Overlay\Main and untick Warnings.

    Hello Chris,

    Several trains from the Armstrong Powerhouse enhancement packs is not responding on the throttle/brake or throttle lever.
    For instance the Class 444, Class 455 and Class 456.
    Is this a known issue or can I not use the raildriver for these trains.
    Greetings from Rob

    Hello Chris,
    In the manual of the Class 444 I see ''Please note, this pack is NOT compatible with any external controllers such as the XBOX or RailDriver."
    So its clear I can't use the raildriver. But for the other trains it is magnificent.
    Greetings from Rob

    You will find that warning on the pages for most AP Add-ons
    Worth checking before purchasing.

    Hi Dutchman

    After installing the AP addons did you extract the lever maps again? I havent had any trouble using this program with those addons, you will need to overwrite the lever maps when you extract them. Use the 'Extract Single Folder' option in the 'Railworks Data Extractor' drop down menu. Im pretty sure these addons will use different lever names than the original.

    Hi Chris,
    I have the addons earlier then the raildriver. By extracting the lever maps the first time, the addons from AP where already unpacked.
    I,'m going extracting the lever maps again.
    Thanks for the reply.

    Hi Rob
    It was Bekns that replied to you, not me, but his advice was sound.
    I don't own those particular addons from AP, although the ones I do own have all worked OK.
    Another possibility is that the lever in the Lever Map has its Enabled setting set to No.
    Look at page 9 - 12 in the "TS Classic Raildriver and Joystick Interface Manual V3.3.0.8" manual located in the manuals folder, to see how to enable them if needed.
    Chris
