BVE: Questions/Problems on the usage of Class 158/37

[azntg]

Hello. I've been using BVE for a while, but I've restricted to using only NYC subway routes, but recently saw about the awesome job going down at the BVE UK Community. I'm enjoying to drive trains in some photorealistic routes.

However, I think I hit a snag somewhere though.

I'm having a problem using the mainline trains: Class 37/156 and 323 on BVE 4.

For some reason, none of the "non-built in BVE" keys are responding.

E.G.: I have no problems controlling the reverser, power, brake and horn controls. I also don't have problems using the windshield wiper.

But, any other keys (as written at the ATS panel to the right side of the train), are not responding (e.g.: Headlights/Taillights, Engine Start/Stop, Pantograph Up/Down control) will not work. As of Class 323 trains, I can still get around this... but, I am not able to use Class 37/156 as a result of this, most notably because I can't get the train to start by the lack of response.

Is there a workaround to this? I'll appreciate any response.

Some things to consider is that: I'm using a Korean language version of Windows XP (I actually don't have a copy of the English version of XP) with Regional settings set to: English (United States). I'm using a standard 104 key US Keyboard.

Thank You.

I think it has something to do with the keys not being set in the options. Go to Options, Controller, Key Assignments, and then Switches and in the ATP panel, and see if the controlls are set.

Hmm... of course, I forgot to check something as simple as that! I notice that keys from "C(1/2)" to "L" is undefined.

Unless I can find a guide of what do put in (can't seem to find the information on the train file's readme)...

Ah, found some of the information embedded in UKSpt.20.05.notes.html. Can't find "buzz to guard" key. Will experiment on that.

Let's see if things work.

Can't you just select the default assignments from the dropdown list at the top of the dialog? BTW, the guard's buzzer is ATS_KEY_H and is normally assigned to 'D6'.

Yes. That did it.

I don't know if the keys were supposed to be set up when installed by default or not, but going through the readme and that information did solve my problems.

Thank You all.
