    Hello everyone,

    simple (maybe stupid) question: on TSW4 the calibration menu for Raildriver shows me only 3 trains, so no possibility to calibrate it on other trains neither the possibility to see functionalities on additional keys for each other. Is it correct or is it a problem of mine ?

    Thank you so much for your support.

    Wow, you're right, it used to show a list of all the locos. Where was this change announced or explained?

    Maybe it's a matter of signing out and back in to Dovetail Live again - I only see those 3 trains shown above. In my TSW3 installation I see maybe 7 or 8 random locos.

    I didn't see this thread when I posted my thread mentioning the same issue (Thread entitled "Finally pulled the trigger"). Glad its not just me! I suggest you put in a ticket as I have so it gets noticed by DTG.

    I think the current version works this way, you need to open the route you are driving and then see the locos in the Advanced Setting. That is what I did yesterday.

    When you are in a service, hit "Pause" then Options > Settings > Controls > Advanced Controls. In the RailDriver menu it will show those three Training Center locos and whatever it available in your current Route as well.

    Finally got this reply. "......By default, the Advanced Controls menu will show options for the 3 Training Center locos. To configure other locos, you will need to load into a route and access them from the pause menu."
    Not exactly the most sensible of solutions but Hey Ho!

    Yeah the RailDriver menu used to show all locos, not sure when it changed. Can't keep up with all the strange ch ch changes.

    I think I maybe missing the point here, but why would you calibrate more than once?

    I always calibrate once when I set the rail driver up. This calibration works for all the trains - I never need to calibrate for each train.

    The only time I need to recalibrate is if the temperature changes as that causes it to go out a bit.

    I only need to go into individual trains if I’ve forgotten what the various bindings to the controls are. This is fine to do when you are in the route. (Though I now keep a print out for each train I use to save me doing it)

    Just that it is a bit more simple to have all the calibration options on the same page than have to jump into a route and have to wait for it to load everything just to check something that should easily be reached from the basic calibration screen.
