Ps5 And The Use Of A Keyboard

I am using a PS5 for TSW4 and I have found out that if you use a buletooth wireless keyboard with the PS5 then certian function work just like when operating TSW4 on a PC with Steam.

However unlike on a PC when in Settings on the PS5 you cannot get to see or change the keyborad assignments, is this going to be addressed by DTGames moving foward. I do hope so as I find this feature on the PC very useful and the PS5 experiance would benifit and improve no end if we could reconfigure a keyboard for use on the PS5

 

This feedback was discussed during the TSW4 launch. They said they would look at it, but haven't heard anything about progress since. As it stands now you can't even look and see what each key does on console.

 

If it helps I have started to create a EXCEL Spread sheet as it is listed for the PC via Steam. Unfortunatly it will not allow me to uploade it here. If you would like a copy I could email it to you.

 

Someone has done that work already up to and including Steam controls. I know they added Photo mode in TSW4, and that is Ctrl+F12 or Shift+Space (something like that, please correct me if I'm wrong.) I totally forget the keyboard controls for free roam. Is it tab or something? Idk

 

I see YouTube streamers be able to jump from the cab at the front of the train to the back without getting out of the seat do you know if that’s possible on console and if so what buttons as I cannot see it on the google doc

 

It's possible. CTRL and + or CTRL and - are the keys. If you have multiple driving cabs or locos, it does require several button pushes.
Sometimes it doesn't work for the entire consist though.

 

Yeah and Ctrl+0 puts you back in the driver seat even if you "accidentally" got off the train while it was moving. I also thought there was a control on the gamepad for this, but I don't remember any more. It's another control I see missing from this list.

Dovetail should have these controls available on their support site, or in their manual but in each case they frustratingly tell you to look in game, when you can't do that on consoles
