Beta Testing Update
05/02/2008:
Some beta testers are experiencing a significant delay (5-20 seconds) in the response of Rail Simulator to the RailDriver controls. This appears to happen only on systems with dual core processors and we are working diligently with the engineers at Rail Simulator to isolate and fix this issue. We expect a full release (non-Beta) to occur shortly after this issue is resolved.
RailSim Beta Testing
Hello and welcome to the RailSim Beta:
Things you need to know:
- After installing the beta you will see a pop up box telling you to calibrate the RailDriver. You must select yes for this option.
- After selecting “yes” you will see two windows open; the calibration window and the instruction manual.
- Please read through the instruction manual and follow the directions to complete the calibration process.
- After selecting “yes” you will see two windows open; the calibration window and the instruction manual.
- The RailDriver will not have a way to distinguish between train controls.
- You will have the same controls for all the trains.
- The only exception to this is the dynamic brake. On U.S. locomotives the dynamic brake will work as expected, but on UK/German trains the dynamic brake will act like the train brake.
- You will have the same controls for all the trains.
- To change any of the programming on the blue buttons please follow the procedure below:
a. Right click on RD MWII icon in the system icon tray next to the system time like this:
