PC Ts World Raildriver And Joystick Interface

Here is a fix for those assigning the walking options to a joystick lever and find that moving the lever slightly from neutral makes you run and then going further makes you walk
In TSW go into Settings\Accessibility and change DefaultMovement to Walk.

It's best to watch this video, which explains how to set up the TSC-X controller.




If that doesn't work, I can send you my file, which will at least allow you to drive locomotives that have separate throttle and brake levers.

 

Can you try calibrating your controller using the menu option Settings\Calibrate Joysticks. On the window that pops up, select the SimWorkshop and click on the Properties button. Then select the Settings tab at the top left and then click the Calibrate button. Finally, follow the onscreen prompts.

Can you try calibrating your controller using the menu option Settings\Calibrate Joysticks. On the window that pops up, select the SimWorkshop and click on the Properties button. Then select the Test tab at the top left and try moving your levers. The left is X, the middle is Y and the right is Z.
If one or more of the levers don't show movement on screen, then try clicking on the Calibrate button and follow the on screen prompts. If after that, the levers still don't work, then I would say you have another defective unit.
It might be worth trying the USB cable from the first unit to see if that makes a difference.

Thankyou for your help CobraOne. I have tried what you suggested, the TSX contoller shows up under game controllers with status ok, however when I click properties it says "Necessary support files not found" so I can't do anything.

 

Hi scottyxtuk

Then I would write to the manufacturer via the contact form on their website.

Because then the TSC-X controller is probably broken.

 

I have tried, sent therm 2 emails and had no reply. I am really fed up, they sent me a replacement as first one had pieces loose and broken. This one arrived and as soon as I took it out of the box I could hear loose things inside. It seems to me the packaging is shoddy, they put cheap air bags in and it's shipped all the way from China. They just won't reply and I feel like I've been ripped off.

 

Hi everyone, and hi scottyxtuk,
If I may, have you tried contacting spark-chen, the TSC-X representative on our forum? If not, here's a link to contact him, hoping it might help. It seems quite worrying that their website isn't responding to you! So try this:

This is definitely our responsibility, and there’s no excuse for it.
I’ve instructed all customer service representatives to maintain the same response efficiency as I do.
Please check your email — we’ve sent you our proposed solution, and I hope you’ll be satisfied with it.

 

Could someone please give me some hints how to setup a deadzone? I need this for DB BR 642 which has messed up raildriver settings.

 

Hi Proton
Navigate to "Documents\My Games\TrainSimWorld6\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor" and edit the Raildrver.ini file.
Look for the section
(ControlIndex=1,CalibrationPointValues=(0.000000,0.480000,0.520000,1.000000)),

To increase the deadzone, change the 0.480000 to something like 0.450000 and increase the 0.520000 to 0.550000

Chris

 

Hi Chris, thanks for quick response. Is this solution for one train only or for all trains? If second one, I need a solution for BR642 only. All other trains are working fine with your program.

 

Hi Proton
Unfortunately it's not possible to adjust the deadzone for each loco individually.
I have just tried the BR 642 with my Raildriver and I didn't have any problems with the neutral section.
If you have any notches set for the ThrottleAndBrake in the lever map, try setting the UseNotches to No.
Otherwise try recalibrating the Raildriver in my programs (Settings\Calibrate Raildriver) and increase the gap between the two middle sections on the ThrottleAndBrake (Throttle Idle and Dynamic Brake Setup) but this will affect all loco's.
Chris

 

Hi CobraOne.
First of all. I love the software. It works really good. But I do have a couple of questions. Will there be support for the Dutch trains like the SNG and the ICMm. And I would like to know if it is possible to get in maybe a different software data back from the game. like guages as speedometer or the current speed limit from the ATB. I would love to hear a reaction.

greetings

I've just now discovered this amazing software and holy mother of Amaterasu this is the freaking holy grail... I can finally use my Virpil control panel levers in TSW - seriously where do I send you money?

 

Hi VonckjeNL
If you are refering to the current version of my program, I have just tried both the SNG and ICMm using my Raildriver and the loco's worked OK. Unfortunately, with the current version, it is not possible to get any more info from TSW except the speed.

I am doing my best to try and create a new version of my program that uses the new API and change over to .net 8 instead of the netframework and use Json instead of xml, but it is quite a learning curve and as I have said before, no gaurantee it will be completed.
.
It doesn't help when you have 30 different names for the TrainBrake and 96 different names for the Wipers.
In total, just for the levers, I have 926 names.
These have to be checked against each loco you are driving to see which is the correct name to use.

I can see why DTG have not made a program that uses the API themselves

I should be able to get the info you require re the current speed limit etc, what do you want to do with it?
Is it just to display it on screen or are you creating a train cab?

Chris

 

So the 802 is only to 88% or can you edit something to go to full?

 

I have just tried the 802 with the original PieHid64.dll and not using my program and the ThrottleAndBrake still only goes to 88%.
Because of that, there is nothing that can be done in my program to change that.

Chris

 

I don't know what's wrong, but it just doesn't work for me (im using the TSC X Controller). I created Lever and Button maps, reinstalled the program multiple times by now and the result is always the same.

Example: the big yellow button i want to use for SIFA actually moves the brake lever. Its all messed up. None of my maps work the way i set them up.

Any idea what could cause this?

 

Hi Chris,

the reason I would like the support to get data back form the game is becase I am Tinkering alot with arduinos and I would like to try and make a desktop ATB and speed indicator for the ICMm.

 

Hi Chris
Apologies if this has been covered before, I’m trying to create a profile for each loco with a TSC-X. It’s been going well with mapping the buttons and selecting levers matching the loco levers left or right etc; unfortunately, even though I think I’m creating a new profile for each loco it doesn’t remember the lever positions and I think defaults to the last one programmed. What am I missing please?

 

did you at least watch the setup video? TSC X Setup for Train Sim World (TSW) Tutorial

 

If your referring to the “Trainsimulatordriver” videos then yes I’ve watched them numerous times, if you mean something else, then please send a link or description.

 

Sending my warmest wishes to everyone for a happy and cozy Thanksgiving!

 

Hey guys, Not sure what I am doing wrong here - Whenever I try and launch the software it's trying to get me to select where "railworks.exe" is, but I can't find my railworks folder at all?

 

Hi Skelli

In the first post, you must also download the TSW Raildriver & Joystick Interface, not the TS-classic Raildriver & Joystick Interface!

In the first post, you must click on the second link to download the TSW Raildriver & Joystick Interface!

 

That explains a lot!
Now I seem to be having trouble with "Unable to connect to TSW - Retrying Connection" can't seem to get the program to connect, unsure what I've done wrong!

EDIT: I've tried replacing the PIEHid.dll with the one from the software, this causes my game to crash on launch...

 

you need to run TSW

 

Hey man, So yeah the game crashes when I replace the PiEHid.dll and if I don't replace it then the software cant connect to TSW

 

make sure you copy from the one located at TSW Raildriver And Joystick Interface\DefaultSettings

 

Thanks man! I was copying the PiEHid64 from the main folder, not the settings one!

 

TSW 6 Free Version - TSW Unniversal Controller Interface
Can anyone tell me where this can be found please?. I'm interested to try it out.

 

nowhere?
if google does not give any results you probably got the name wrong

the only other utility i know is
Custom Controller Mapper - Control Train Sim World with Any Joystick or Analog Controller – No RailDriver Required - Train Sim Community

As I said in the post on 04/10/25
"I am working on a new version of my program (TSW Unniversal Controller Interface) that will talk to this api but there is a learning curve for me to do this, so it may take some time to come up with a viable solution and there is no guarantee I will be able to achieve this."

I am working on this still, but progress is slow due to the complexity of getting the api to talk to all hardware and old age creeping up making concentration and remembering what I have done difficult for me now.
I was hoping someone with a younger mind and more knowledge of api programming would take up the reigns

As I said, "No gaurantees it will be finished", but in the meantime, the original TSW Raildriver & Joystick interface will still work.

Hi everyone,
I tried to calibrate my TSC-X today in the cobra one software, newest version. however when i press properties, it says necessary support files not found. Anyone got a solution to this? I have to calibrate, as when I go to idle on the throttle, it starts registering as a dynamic brake. Thanks in advance

 

Hi Chris, Don't worry mate I understood the post you made concerning TSW Universal Controller Interface and I know that it is a WIP.
I have the greatest respect for your work (after all I have been using ur software ever since I got my Rail Driver so that's a few years now) and I was curious what was cooking lol.
I've now replaced my RD which had gone all loose and baggy with a TSC-X controller, took a while to get one that wasn't broken in transit but the guys at Sim Workshop sorted it out and I am happy with my new controller.
I am happy to test if you need testers.
Regards
Phil
