Hi all, I have TS2020 on Steam and am interested in purchasing Raildriver to enhance it. From the website http://raildriver.com/products/raildriver.php it says it is compatiable with TS2020, but I have read (perhaps misread) posts on this forum saying it is not compatiable, or only works with third party software and some configuration. Could someone please clarify the situation before I waste my money? Many thanks
It is not an out of the box and works with everything without some tweaking The Raildriver was designed for US trains that have a separate throttle/power handle and brake handles. A lot of newer UK trains just have a single handle for both functions so the controller has to be re mapped It is worth spending time reading other posts on peoples views and experience At the top of this page under your name there is a search box Peter
The raildriver I have has a throttle / dynamic brake handle that does both functions, as well as train and consist brake levers The main issue I have with the RD and some consists is things like tap changer (class 86, 87), braking where you have to increase and decrease rather than set a level (such as class 66, 101 etc) but these can all be done by changing the preset keys under the levers The second is there's no "off" on the reverser so you need to fiddle about when you drive a unit or loco that has this Yes, AP says it doesn't work, but that means they don't support it rather than it doesn't work in any way, because it does if you're willing to put the time in
