    I've remapped all mine, so my logical keybinds for left, right, up, down, are, erm; left, right, up and down arrows 🤣

    I've tried that too for walking around but it's just so counterintuitive when you wanna sprint or jump. Oh well

    I've also thought about numpad but I can't really get warm with it when driving and having the SHP on spacebar and I mainly use my left hand for the power controls and right hand for the brakes. But yeah, might be a personal problem.

     

    I still kinda have the feeling that this whole thing might be a bug, no?

    Then don't use WASD for Train interactions. I dont have anythink set on WASD and I don't have Problems with such thinks.

    And it just make sense, that you can drive the Train while youre standing. This is in RL possoble too.

    Just switch the Controlls then you dont have the Problem.

    I understand your thinking and also that trains can be driven IRL while standing, obviously. But if I stand up and walk to the other side of the cab I definitely don't have the arm length to operate the levers.

    But I get your thinking. I just don't really know what else I can bind the train controls to, as I've got everything else nicely setup...

    You can switch the contrast. Press the contrast button on the left screen.

    You can see the contrast in this bug report where I have 2 videos and you can see the screens on everything are darker.

    Ok I've tried it and it worked, but the question is still why not make the middle MFD switchable as well? 😛

    Unify camara views is also an improvement. Same flow of views in the locos when cycling through "4"
    Some of them starts with rear view right, some with left, some start with forward facing from the opposite cab.
    If releated to active cab, start with mirror view on one of the sides and sycle through in an unified manner. Minor thing in the big picture I know 🙂 

    Yeah, this is the stuff I mean by saying making everything have the same general functions 😄

    Which train does not have working windscreen washers? 

    i thought they all did, as a feature of SimRail is bugs / flies build up on the windscreen as you are driving, and you need to use the wipers and the washers to clean them off (would be nice to have a keybind for washers, as the wipers has one, but we need to use the mouse to press the washer button) 

    No no, don't get me wrong I was just using this as an example. But for example in the TRAXX one screen is black, the other one white. Why not make em the same or also make it possible to switch the contrast from black to white on both screens.

  6. Just wanna chime in with some of my personal ideas.

    I really like the way simrail is headed. Still think there is much room for improvement.

    First of all:

    Unifiy the trains' functions. Example: If one train has working windshield wiper fluid, give it to all trains in the game.

    Traxx: One of the displays is white/black, the other one is black/white. Would love to see it if it was possible to switch the displays between black/white and white/black on our own. Maybe also be able to regulate the brightness ourselves. - Same goes for other trains.

    When driving I have noticed that the PZB awareness and the general awareness button are interlinked. Why? I feel that with the first German route this could become problematic. 

    I'd also love to see the instrument lighting function in the Traxx. Right now the button has no use as far as I can see. In reality it deactivates/activates the lighting of the trains' headlamps and also the interior's gauge lights. (Perfect to greet other train drivers by switching it on and off and making the train blink so to say).

     

    I really start to love the game, but I'd also love to see more consistency between the trains on their functionality. (If one train can do XY why can't the other train do it too, if both trains have function XY in reality...

  7. Heya, after driving it a few times I'd like to report some suggestions:

    - Instrument lighting is not working for me. The switch does nothing.

    - Maybe a dimmer for the Cab light would be cool? When enabling the cablight I nearly can't read the MFD in front of me

    - MFD: the side MFD has a changeable contrast, the one in front of me not.
