    Morn'n Folks,

    Yeah - I don't even look at MSTS anymore so any settings for that are moot on my machine...

    Personally - I think it's excellent how they have the keyboard setup to require subsequent presses to change braking modes... I would hazard a guess that most people don't have a rail driver and are just using keyboards for controls - since the keyboard doesn't provide tactile feedback - as would an actual lever - having it stop before it changes braking modes just makes sense to me... Without the stops - I always find myself holding the keys down just a bit too long and wind up with unintentional brake mode changes...

    Great job Open Rails...

    Regards,
    Scott

        As one who uses the keyboard exclusively I completely agree, Scott.
