Open Rails and Raildriver

[CSX FAN]

Hello Team,

Maybe I'm missing some information when I read the manual for Open Rails concerning Raildriver. But I can't seem to get my Raildriver to work with Open Rails. How does one accomplish that? I searched threads here and don't see my answer or I'm over looking it.

Thanks

We have some reported problems with RailDriver & Open Rails regarding it not being properly recognized by the USB bus. Have you tried the keyboard commands to test if those are working properly?

[CSX FAN]

No..... I can get Open Rails to start up MSTS but I can't use my Rail Driver. Is there something I'm over looking to get the 2 to work?

What version of Windows are you running?

Windows 7 Home Premium

Just to be sure you are turning Rail Driver on after you start Open Rails. You have to push the run stop button (lower leftmost blue button) to start Rail Driver after the route opens up in Open Rails.

It doesn't start up at all. The Open Rails screen comes up but nothing concerning Rail Driver.

Are you pushing the blue button on the actual Rail Driver device?

And does your Rail Driver display show 'rd' or 'USB' before you start Open Rails?

Good Evening,

@dick8299 - when I start up the game, I start my RailDriver. But it keeps going from Run to the Speed Limit that I'm going. I have to constantly press the Run button to get Rail Driver to respond sometimes. Should it be like this or stay at a steady number as it has without OR? The mph speed has the decimal in the speed display. I has never done that before.

After the Open Rails route loads, I start my Rail Driver and it shows 0.0, and then shows my speed with a decimal point as I apply the throttle. I do not know what you should do next, as I have not had the problems that you are having. Perhaps using a different USB hole on your computer would provide different results, also have you tried calibrating your Rail Driver again?
