native controller support (and the lack thereof)

[Rattie]

I don't know about you. But playing/driving with mouse and keyboards really breaks the immersion for me. It works, but I am really longing for native controller support, so that, eg, the TSC-X controller, or even custom built controllers, can interact with SimRail like a joystick with axis and buttons.

Does anyone know if that is something that may come at a later time? And maybe also what kind timeframe we are looking at?
Perhaps one of devs is willing to shed a little light on this? 

In my humble opinion, physical controls is really what is able to transform the whole experience from playing a game, to a convincing situation of driving a train.
Don't get me wrong. I love SimRail. I just advocate for more immersiveness. Here is to hoping. 🙂

They are or will start/resume working on it. One of the Devs posted this last week on the Discord server:

Amazing! Something to look forward to. And thank you for sharing this post I so clearly missed 🙂
