I've been trying to find the swith since TSW2 came out to turn on at least the alerter, I've been wondering if the safety systems can even be turned on?
You need to use a keyboard. ctrl + enter. The alerter is always turned on in real life and therefore no in-cab switch exists.
I was wondering how do i turn on the safety systems on the ac4400. It's a shame that you need a keyboard though because most console players probably don't have a keyboard to connect to their consoles. The safety systems should always be on then if the alerter is always on in real life
It‘s probably done for consistency. Also, you‘d just shift around the problem, if it‘s always on, people who want it off would complain about needing a keyboard. Not defending their decision, but there is logic to it.
