![]() How to install it and how does it work?ġʳᵉ step: Retrieve the ZIP file (we have successfully validated version 2.0.0.4) available on the official software show, hosted on the Dovetail forums.Ģnd step: Unzip the zip into a folder, for example, on C:\ģrd step: Make sure you have installed the DirectX SDK June 2010 then. To put it simply, it will emulate the presence of a RailDriver in the eyes of Train Sim so that your device can be recognized in the different locos. Some examples of throttles (called Throttle or Quadrant Throttle) commonly used in flight simulation The solution: Ts World Raildriver And Joystick InterfaceĬobraOne, an active member of the Train Simulator Classic community then Train Simulator World, managed to use the control library available in-game and in principle reserved only for the RailDriver to develop software now capable of supporting any peripheral recognized in Windows as a controller game. The only BIG problem so far was that none were supported by Train Simulator or Train Sim World. Indeed, even if primarily designed to reflect the driving of an American locomotive, there were enough different levers to adapt it to all types of locomotives.Įach locomotive in Train Sim World natively supports the Raildriver according to an assignment fixed by Dovetail Alternatives at your fingertips: the use of joysticks or flight simulation peripheralsĪs we saw in the introduction, there is a multitude of flight simulation-oriented peripherals which could very well be used to simulate control levers and buttons found in train cabins. Let's say it right away, when it was released in 2002, with all of its programmable levers and buttons, it represented the ultimate peripheral for any train simulation enthusiast. The veterans of Train Simulator Classic and Train Sim World at Dovetail Games know well that to drive your favorite trains, for a very long time, there was only the keyboard and mouse or… the raildriver. At the beginning, there was only the keyboard + mouse tandem or the Raildriver Based on this observation, an active member of the Train Simulator community, CobraOne, has developed an interface allowing you to use any joystick to control your trains. of a train (except the Raildriver released more than 20 years ago now). ![]() The market is undoubtedly smaller than that of flight simulation or sports driving, so far no major manufacturer has offered peripherals to reinforce immersion by reproducing the controls on board a cockpit. In the world of PC or Console peripherals dedicated to simulators, there is a category that appears to be the poor relation: that of trains.
