    I have been trying to play with my raildriver, but for some reason, it’s not working. The speedometer is showing up confirming its working, and it’s working perfectly fine with other games, but not with TSC. I tried recalibrating numerous times, and tried deleting and reinstalling the software that makes it compatible but nothing works. It was working perfectly fine last time and I didn’t change or do anything so I have no idea what the problem is and why it’s only affecting this game. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    What software are you using the one supplied with the Raildriver or Raildriver and joystick (Cobra one)?

    Are you running the program as administrator? I use Cobra One (Raildriver and Joystick software). Give a shout out to Raildriver support.I haven't used their program in years and have forgot most of the quirks.

    I believe it’s running as administrator, but I guess I can try to contact them

    I am having the same issue today. I believe I used to have the 32 bit version of the Train Simulator software, but today when I log in I have the 64 bit version. I assume it downloaded automatically somewhere along the way because I didn't pay for any upgrade. But now my RailDriver is not working with the program.

    Like the other user, my RD is functional as the screen changes from rd to the speed of 000. I also recalibrated it today. I am using the software that came with the RailDriver also.

    Is there something known within the Train Simulator 64 bit version that doesn't play well with RD?

  8. I've always used the MacroWorks RD software MW3.1 Legacy Download (raildriver.com) and just discovered that it will not work with the 64-bit or the DX12.

    I just downloaded the 32/64 bit version for the RD Train Simulator | Instructions (raildriver.com) Its the same as above works well in 32-bit but don't keep your hopes up, its not working in either 64-bit or the DX12 versions. A recent update for TS would be at fault for that, I'm certain!

    The MacroWorks, used to work well with 64-bit. Prior to the DX12 Experimental becoming available 'If you ask me, it's useless'.
     
  9. Sorry, my bad! I did not see the 64-bit icon on my desktop for this version of the RD software
    Train Simulator | Instructions (raildriver.com)

    It works well in 64-bit ;) No issues! Edit: It doesn't work with the DX12 Experimental version..
    Keep that in mind
