In classic control you will be in driver mode when you switch to an outside camera view. Press Y and this will take you out of driver mode and allow you to move the camera. Just remember that you will need to press Y again to go back into driver mode to control brakes etc. Note that when you are in driver mode, an icon of a driver appears at the top left corner of the HUD (speedo area). When in camera mode, a drone icon will appear so you will know you can move the camera.
Thanks so much for the help. I have wondered why that icon was there. Didn’t seem to do anything. Don’t really like Classic control but forced to use it because of the route.
There is a work around for this issue. Before you load up your route and choose a service, go the the menu and change the controller option to classic. Load up the route and service you want and then pause, go to the options and change the controller scheme back to immersion.
Thank you so much for this! I have several preserved routes from last year's Xbox sale that I've barely touched, just because I hate the Classic controls so much. I'd been waiting for the Preserved Team updates to these routes, hoping they'd "fix" the scenarios to allow Immersion controls, but this workaround you posted is exactly what I needed! And I suppose if I run into an issue where the tutorial/scenario trigger point relies on doing a thing that only Classic controls can do, I can change it on the fly to trigger that checkpoint. I'll probably still hold off on playing some Peninsula Corridor, since that's the first on the Preserved Team's list, but others down the line are fair game to get into now, I think. Hopefully we'll get more info on that progress on Tuesday with the new roadmap, since Adam is on that stream.
For Classic Controls Right Stick and you have a menu that pops up on camera modes including interior & exterior views. These can be useful on TSW 2 standard timetable Journey mode timetable services but not scenarios and training where it automatically switches to Immersion controls
Initially I was reluctant to move to the immersion controls due to the external camera controls being inferior (no panning up and down, head out views etc.) but now since the 'shift' command was introduced, I prefer the new scheme. The only thing I can't see how to do (or if its even possible) is a way to speed up the camera movement. In the old classic scheme, you could click a control stick to make the camera 'run' and move faster, it was useful for catching up with a train or getting in front of it to do a nice passing shot. Does anyone know if this is is possible using the Immersion control scheme?
You can only speed up the external cams if you are using a keyboard under immersion controls I seem to recall. At least, that's the only way I've found out how to do it on PS4/PS5 anyway.
Thank you, that's what I thought, I've tried all the controller buttons but none seem to speed it up. It must be possible though, off to the feature request page I go.....
