    The latest update notes state that for the BR101 RD button mapping has been updated in line with convention, yet there still is no way to set AFB on the RD for this loco, is this a case of yet another broken update. Or is it that who ever updated the RD settings have zero knowledge of what features the 101 has?

    Considering the state of the BR182 and Rapid Transit I think this is a fair assessment.

    Not sure if it was by design (so they knew what they were doing and released it regardless), if it's just another QA disaster or they released the wrong build.

    i'd love to know what this 'convention' is they are changing the button mapping to (for the German trains as they are all i drive)

    Using the Raildriver Labels for TSW2 doc, it seems that only the 'Pause' and 'next cab cam' buttons are in the same place across all German trains.

    The PZB buttons are still 'backwards' to how they are in the trains.

    If you drive the BR101, the PZB buttons on the raildriver are buttons 3, 4 and 5 on the bottom row, most other trains they are 8, 9 and 10 .. but some are 7, 8 and 9.

    it's pot luck if you have a button on the raildriver for things like the brake overcharge button, brake lockout key, train power switch etc.

    Some electric loco's have an 'engine start' button assigned to them!
    And i noticed on the raildriver key map in the sim, on a few electric loco's the big up/down button next to the 4 way D pad is assigned to 'Gear up/down' !!??!! so in the sim it does nothing.
    (to me that button is ideal for the door open/close switch, and the D pad to rotate the Türfreigabe 4 position switch)


    I know it's difficult to map different countries trains to use the same controls when not all trains around the world have the same controls,

    But surely they can make a set of 3 main button maps for the UK, German and USA trains in the sim, there are switches and buttons that all German loco's have, but one train you can control some switches, on others you can't,




    We really need the ability to re-map the raildriver keys, and have all the operating switches and buttons in the train to choose from, not everyone wants to use the same buttons in the cab,
