    I wish there was more time allowed to set up your cab when starting a service. If you cannot turn the keys on AWS, Vigilance, TPWS from the seat and have to get out of the chair I am normally end up with a late departure.
    I have seen on YouTube videos this settings being applied in quick succession on the in game screen.
    Are there any keyboard short cuts for this?
    I have checked and did not find any.

    Here's what I do (in order)

    1. Ctrl+Enter for AWS/PZB/LZB/etc.
    2. Shift+Enter for Vigilance, Sifa, DSD, etc.
    3. Ctrl+W for master key
    4. W and S for reverser
    5. H for headlights
    6. J may do taillights, but may do other things (or nothing)
    7. i for instrument lights (lowercase for readability)
    5. Y and U for doors
    6. A and D for power
    7. ; and ' for brakes (if applicable)

    Ctrl+Shift+Enter used to work until TSW4, at which point it stopped working.
    Doing commands 1 and 2 will activate all safety systems regardless of train.

    Thank you that was just the info I needed. I am trying to program my recently acquired Raildriver and your tip will enable me to map 2 buttons to complete those functions. I have also been looking for a keyboard short cut for DRS.

    Driver's Reminder's Appliance doesn't have a keyboard shortcut, I'm afraid.

    R set speed up
    F set speed down

    Thank you. I don't suppose that DRA has a function key?

    I don't believe so. Not seen one mentioned anywhere

    Would be handy to have though.

    I wonder how DRA was assigned to one of the blue buttons on the Raildriver, it was in one of DTG's traction settings. I don't want to go back to their calibration because since TSW5 Raildriver no longer works correctly.

    I am in the process of creating my custom settings for my Raildriver button functions with the aid of Cobraone's program.

    DRA can be set and reset with Page down, a hotkey to open / close the DRA fuse itself is not assigned by default but possible.
