    Anyone trying to get into the engineers screen in the tutorial, I have found that if you have an Xbox chatpad, then pressing 0 (zero) will open the classic camera menu, then click on more and you get into the engineers screen.

    Hitting zero on a keyboard does the same thing if you have one plugged in to your xbox.

    Lol, Need one of those too apparently!
    So, does adding a keyboard to the Xbox allow you to have access to all the functions available in TSW/TSW2?
    Never considered using it with 2020 but with TSW2 I see it could be a huge benefit.

    Pretty much as far as i can tell even in immersion controls with the keyboard you get all the old camera options and shortcuts for the game as you would do in the PC version of the game, i drive with a controller but do so much with the keyboard, definitely worth having.

    Well good to know, you just made my gaming experience with TSW2 look a lot brighter.
    I'll be picking up a keyboard first thing tomorrow, Thanks!

    also you can customise the hud without going onto the menu just use CTRL and numbers from 1-8 i think. i use keyboard mainly to operate safety systems like PZB in particular

    Menu > Settings > Controls > Control mode > swap from Immersion to Classic. Apply and Exit. Now you can operate into the desk computer and bypassing the tutorial bug.

    I plugged in a spare USB keyboard, you can use the direction arrows to access the display and also some other views. Worth noting that using a keyboard and Control F2 is the only way you can turn off Motion Blur that doesn't work well on the wheels

    If you have a keyboard, you can also press the left directional arrow key, and this will move over to the screen. Press the right arrow to move back across to the main engineers seat.

    FYI this is not news, there are countless other posts about this. It's because the tutorial locks you into immersive controls with less camera options, which clearly wasn't tested.
