K Kawa Posted January 12 Posted January 12 There are many useful keybinds wich work properly in Simrail. The default key settings the developers thought of are actually logic and simple to learn. I'm aware that there's the settings menu in which you can customise your own keybinds for a more personal experience. That's a great addition. However I find many cabin buttons and swtiches missing from the keybinds menu, such as lights (high beams, applies to Pendolino, Traxx and PESA Elf), dispatcher call button, neutral section button (only Pendolino. I know this button is not working in game but realistically you're supposed to use it when crossing a neutral section)... whenever you have to do any of those actions, you have to move the camera and click on it, which feels sluggish and IMO removes the immersion feeling. For example, when driving at night and you meet another train, you must turn off high beams in order to not blind the incoming's train driver (just like we do when driving a car),. I find myself that I very often have to manually click on the lights button which is annoying. It would be very nice to just bind a key to it, and other buttons and switches to make the driving experience more fluid. Thanks. 1
Gazz292 Posted January 14 Posted January 14 Totally agree, we need more keybinds... a subject i am kind of passionate about.. as i really hate using the mouse when pretending to drive a train. 1

Gazz292 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 you learn something new every day, wonder why it does not work on the 3Kv DC lines, usually in countries that use the 15/ 25Kv OLE, the neutral sections are controlled automatically using trackside magnets similar to the PZB ones, It would still be nice to be able to set every control in the trains to a keybind if you wanted, even if all that happens is the button moves with your key and does nothing, but i guess we have to wait for the Input/Output system to be released to be able to do that... just that may be a long way away, so i always look in the keybinds menu first after any update to see what new ones we get (got the Passenger Lights off keybind in the latest update... i think that was to fix an issue i reported where in the EN57, the 'passenger lights on' keybind would jam the switch on.. as that train has 2 spring return toggle switches controlling the passenger lights, one for on the other for off. 1
