    I've always been a PC player when it comes to train sims, but I do enjoy using an Xbox controller for many games as it can be a more relaxed/comfortable experience. I noticed a few quibbles with gamepad support in TSW3, one could be a bug, the others are just suggestions:

    - when operating any control/interactive with the controller (i.e. pressing the A button) the button prompt immediately shows the mouse prompt even though I'm not touching or moving the mouse or keyboard. It should ONLY be showing gamepad prompts until I nudge the mouse or press a key.

    - it seems like button assignments could be expanded upon a little bit, especially when you factor in the ability to 'press and hold' like for the Tasks menu. For example, cab lights or bell could be done with an additional 'shift' with the Y button or something like that.

    - camera sensitivity, IMHO, should have two settings, one for while you're sitting in the engineer's seat and one for general first person or external camera use. That way you can have a low sensitivity for easier manipulation of small train controls, especially ones that are bunched together like switch panels, but not have to feel like you're entrenched in molasses when getting up from the seat and trying to look around ;) Either that, or an optional setting to make camera sensitivity reduce automatically when the game detects that the crosshair is within a certain screen radius of an interactive (thus making them a bit "sticky".)
