    I've run in to a problem with the way the raildriver works with these two locos. They have a common throttle setup where you have to hold in in one position to increase power, and another position to reduce it. As far as I know, these are the only two locomotives in the game which share this characteristic, though we can expect more to be added in the future.

    The way TSW responds to inputs from the raildriver, these things are nigh unplayable. When you move the handle to increase power, it stays in run up for a second and then goes back to hold, and when you move it back to hold to try again, the game registers another input in run up applying more power as you move the physical handle BACK to hold. Strangely enough, run down in the n-Wagen seems to behave correctly, though it may not have to be held in to stay in that position. The 612 has the same issue, but additionaly, it has a dynamic brake which works the same way, but in this case it is set up in a far more user friendly manner than the throttle positions on the same handle! The fix seems pretty straightforward, just make it so that the handle doesn't go back to hold, and I hope this gets implemented eventually - the n-Wagon was one of the reasons I bought BRO.

    I am aware of the existence of the TSW Raildriver & Joystick interface. However, I have been unable to get the notches working on any of the trains I tried it on, noticing no smoother operation than before. Il do think it holds some potential though.

    Do you have them for the BRO version? Also yeah the 612 would be cool.
    Just to clarify, does this fix throttle behavior or is it just button remapping?

    Yes, fixed throttle behavior
