RailDriver/Route Riter and Donner Pass Cab Forwards

[niknak]

Ah okay I didn't realise that as I don't tend to run the default locos. I guess for now I'll run the Cab Forwards using the keyboard.

Hi niknak,
I've gone past the 30 minute limit for editing posts, hence, this new one!!

I'm only going by my original 4274 and the modifications made by R_R 7.6.26 - yours may be different :

On the modified .eng file, lines 492 and 493 are duplicates of lines 436 and 437 (Engine and Train brake types) and should be deleted.
Line 494 should be changed from : "BrakesEngineController (" to "EngineControllers ("

To make sure you're in the correct part of the file, my line 495 is the 'Throttle' line - this has been changed from 'Regulator' but appears to work OK in both MSTS and Open Rails

Cheers,
Ged

Thanks Ged. Now have the loco brakes back! I'll take it for a run later to see if the jerkiness has gone. I'm not counting on it.....lol

My 2 cents... The RailDriver modification in Route Riter was intended for use with MSTS. I'm not sure if it's really necessary (or advisable) for use with OR.

"Stable" versions of OR have the original, rudimentary support for RailDriver, as does the conventional non-Monogame Experimental branch. The Monogame "New year" and "Ultimate" versions are considered highly experimental, but also have the modern RailDriver support included. This has a much-improved calibration method plus a more accurate input scan of the RailDriver controls. To a large degree, if you're using the RailDriver, it's best to dive into the Monogame versions that support it.

Good point Eric. I will look into that thanks. For now, all seems okay. (Crosses fingers and toes...)
