    Hi,
    it would be great if the players are able to change the control settings on PS4, because, if you drive the german trains with PZB and SIFA on and you want to react to the SIFA warning, you always hear "Zugbeeinflussung". PZB and SIFA on 2 different buttons would be nice. Otherwise you have to look down to press the SIFA button without sound, but thats not always possible:) And by the way: I don't need the reverser on the left stick, AFB for example would be more interesting...

    so i hope we can make our own control settings someday

    On a keyboard you dont have to. Ie I press Q on the keyboard to cancel sifa- no sound and o on the controller to acknowledge pzb. Both are plugged into my PS4 and can be used together at the same time.

    That’s great but not everyone has or wants to use a keyboard.

    I do get your point about not having to need a keyboard. I think having one may change your mind.
    1. Being able to customise the HUD. Limit the info shown on screen.
    2. Changing cabs can be done on the press of a button.
    3. Shortcuts for switches, cab lights, wipers etc.
    4. Sifa without the speech. PZB release from monitoring without having to find the lever. (So you can watch the track ahead).
    5. All the camera angles intantly press of a button.
    6. Can use with the controller. Not one or the other.
    Got mine (wireless) for less than £20.
    Totally changed the experience.

    Dude you are my hero! I thought it was impossible to use a keyboard in this game on console (don't know why I thought that lol). Btw what's the hotkey to switch cabs?! :)

    Sounds good, which keyboard do you use and do I need a converter? (or is a converter only for mouse?)

    No just plug and play. Whilst the mouse I have does work on PS4. TSW does not yet support it. I have the logitech k270 wireless keyboard and mouse pack. Costs around £20. Most stores/supermarkets sell it.

    7. Can control AFB without the lever.
    8. Can control different brakes at the same time.
    9. Don't have to hold down sticks anymore to do things like doors.
    10. If given a text promp (e.g. Dovetail Live sign in), it is a hell of a lot easier.

    Are you using the dostos? If so keep pressing (toggling) through the views until you are in the rear.

    The double decker Passenger coaches that also have their own driver cab. A HST on gwe for example would let ctrl+ work instantly cab to cab. With dostos it works more of a toggle to get the view you want.

    "Dostos" = Doppelstockwagen. 766.2 DBpbzfa for example.

    Hey!
    I recently bought a keyboard. But on the german trains, rsn, I cant use the train brake. I have found the key to release them but not the one to brake. Electric brake works and also the direct brake.
    Where is this key?

    Theres one button that dosent work from PC to console. I think its the brake. Never used it, as I find the actual driving controls suit the dualshock4. Below are the RSN keyboard instructions.
