Flight sims are easier to handle because often the devs expose such data and telemetry, so it is easier to connect real world equipment, but TS is not a simulator, just a glorified game that has some simulated systems. that is enough to kill completely the interest.Īs far as speedometer, you can do something similar to what flight sim cockpit makers do: translate the gauge from the game to actual signals that again, has to be translated by the microcontroller. I have been building controllers and button box for a while, and TS was among the few games that would benefit from the realism perspective, from such controllers, but the time spent to make one, is not really worth it.
This means that whatever you buy, as far as switch, button or sliding potentiometer, it need to be correctly addressed via software, in the microcontroller, and assigned as key binding. Train simulator works only with keyboard inputs, and Xbox 360 controller, if I remember correctly. The problem is you may get all this stuff but then you need to pair it up with a microcontroller that act as USB keyboard.

Now I need a functioning speedometer that I can somehow connect to my TS in-game speedometer, a robust button that I can use for AWS rather than my tiny ''Q'' key and a joystick or throttle or something for my two-way horn.Īlso any software suggestions for mapping anything to keys or connecting TS with my controllers would be nice.ĮDIT: I think I might have found something I can use for AWS: Now I'm not the best person with computers but I basically need a speedometer (preferably up to 140mph or so), a throttle/brake, a button I can map to ''Q'' for AWS, a joystick of some sort for the horn (for the ''SPACE'' horn and the ''B'' horn) and some buttons for general use such as doors and camera views. I'm thinking about spending my birthday money on a ''DIY Raildriver'' since the Raildriver is just disappointing in my eyes, too expensive and looks like a toy.
