    I noticed the RailDriver stream was cancelled due 'delivering the RailDriver' (You not have Taxi's in Chatham then?) and it was said you would rearrange the dates.

    Is this DTG speak for 'we have no intention of doing this' or have you set a date for it yet?

    I've been a little disappointed with the streaming side recently it doesn't seem like they're on as much and when they are they get cancelled or delayed.

    I miss the good old let's plays where Sam or Matt would just sit down and play a route for a bit. They were always chill :)

    It had been ordered, and hadn't been delivered. We'll look to rearrange for the future.

    Yes, but it wasn't Matt who was doing the stream. Jordan, one of our QA team, was going to try it with his set-up remotely. He needed a couple of extra parts, they didn't arrive in time.

    JD, what extra parts are there to a Raildriver that you wouldn't already have? It's a box with a lead attached.

    I don't have one myself, so can't answer that one I'm afraid!

    Hi
    Not being technically minded but would there be anyway of integrating the Raildriver into XBox or is it a long and convoluted process?

    Maybe the horn lever (or ring) broke, ordering @ P.I. in USA takes 3-4 weeks of shipping via regular postal service to Europe.

    This question has been asked many times.

    Raildriver works with current ( and some older ) versions of Windows, but not the truncated version which is used with X Box.

    Besides, RD is just a controller. There isn't really any need for it to replace console game pads. It would add very little, if any functionality

    In order for RD to work with consoles, someone would have to write appropriate software. Neither Microsoft, Sony, PIE nor DTG have indicated any interest in doing so.

    Or perhaps it is a lame excuse?
