    I’m wondering if there is a shortcut key to switch among pantograph’s power mode on TGV Duplex on LGV route? (DC, 15,000 V AC, LGV)

    Having tried almost all shortcuts listed in control settings that look relevant. I’m trying to map this to a button on my gamepad. It will be super elegant and immersive if we can do the power switch using all physical buttons.

    Put a Siemens Charger here for fun.

    I don't know any tbh. But it would be complicated to do the whole sequence.
    -You need to open up the circuit breaker (key a)
    -Lower down the pantograph (key b)
    -Change the mode (key c)
    -Wait for the current change in the OHLE
    -Put the pantograph up (key b)
    -Close the circuit breaker (key a)
    -Rearm it (key d)

    That would need at least 4 different keys

    I don't think there are keys to change power mode, but I had a good laugh at the completely random Charger! I should start doing that too!

    It may sound weird but I am driving in TSW using ThrustMaster’s Airbus quadrant (and even the side stick to simulate TGV’s self-snapping back train break), with the help of CobraOne’s interface. So I really have dozens of buttons and switches and knobs lol
