BlacleyCole Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 As any tried to use the train controller in dcs BlackeyCole 20years usaf XP-11. Dcs 2.5OB Acer predator laptop/ i7 7720, 2.4ghz, 32 gb ddr4 ram, 500gb ssd,1tb hdd,nvidia 1080 8gb vram New FlightSim Blog at https://blackeysblog.wordpress.com. Go visit it and leave me feedback and or comments so I can make it better. A new post every Friday.
Ranma13 Posted September 12, 2018 Posted September 12, 2018 Train controller? Are you referring to the RailDriver?
Drakoz Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) I have a RailDriver, but they are not DirectX devices, so they do not work natively with DCS. Also, The RailDriver is not a Thrustmaster product - Thrustmaster does not make a train controller. I believe the RailDriver software can be programmed to send keyboard keys with it's buttons, but it's analog axis are not accessible like a normal DirextX analog axis and not programmable for anything other than supported train simulators. I have used my Warthog Throttle as a train controller. It works great and I prefer it to a RailDriver because I like the smooth feel of the Warthog Throttle. Just FYI.... To use a Warthog (or any DirectX game controller) for Train Simulator, you need to use this: TS20xx Raildriver and Joystick Interface by CobraOne http://forums.uktrainsim.com/viewtopic.php?f=361&t=139830&st=0&sk=t&sd=a For Train Sim World (which does not support any analog game controllers natively - not even a RailDriver), I wrote this TARGET script for the Warthog Throttle. It can be modified to support any TARGET compatible Thrustmaster product. https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/thurstmaster-target-script-for-warthog-throttle-saitek-tq-profile.3634/ The TSW script is also an excellent example of a very complex TARGET script as it uses a lot of custom C programming and a few TARGET tricks to implement the equivalent of a TARGET AXMAP1 and AXMAP2 function at the same time, as well as the ability to use one axis (with a mode switch) to control several different locomotive levers. Thankfully, for DCS, we don't need anything this complex!! Edited September 17, 2018 by Drakoz
