TS 2017 Raildriver and Joystick Interface Tool

It really is a fantastic tool, I've been using it with a Saitek Throttle Quadrant from my flight sim setup and the levers on it work *really* well for trains - it's made it into a whole new game for me.

For those using a flight joystick with centre spring, our resident tech guru ( Jimi ) has come up with a way to edit the lever maps for our stocks so that the centre position of your stick equates to Off and Release or Coast. Note you need to apply brake with D key at station stops or use a button map to do the same.  Else the train will roll back with the doors open etc, as your stick is in centre position. 

So this is what you do:

Run TS and run the train

Alt-TAB to Raildriver

Click Stop Callback

Click Keymaps -> Lever Map -> Edit lever map

Click in column 1 next to the ThrottleAndBrake

Right click -> Edit control

Click in notch values box

click in front of the Off value and type 'n' so it looks like (e.g.) n0.625 (This is the value for D78 and 73TS, C69 is 0.75.)

Click OK to close Notch values box

Click OK to close EDIT box

Click Save Lever Map button

Click Yes (save changes)

Click No (copy to other files)

Click the upper right X to close the pop-up box.

Done

Click Start Callback

Note the 73TS unrefurb stock need to be done separately too as the blueprints are different.

Hello all,

just gonna do a quick introduction as this is my first reply to something. I'm a 21 year old bloke from the Netherlands who is fasinated by the Underground network of London (Hence why I am here).

Now I saw this neat little program, but my paths are too long and it gives errors. I'm also using a Hotas X from my old days. When I press ok after the message that my path is too long it straight up gets me to the program but I can not do part 6 of the installation. Anyone that could help me out?

Ahhh now this looks handy. I'm planning on getting an X52 for combat flight/space sim games so it's nice to know I can use it for TS as well.

I always wanted a Raildriver but so much modern TS stuff seems to be incompatible with it, although I saw DTG mention they were looking at making TSW2 compatible in the future.

Can anyone help me with adding the S7+1 stock deadman control to a button on my joystick? I’ve tried everything that I can think of but it doesn’t want to behave.
