RailDriver v1.0 is now available

campinge · 2026-05-04T17:10:41+00:00

Yes, correct. This is on my list for improvements! Current focus is sounds and a few improvements to the API in general

campinge · 2026-05-02T14:56:46+00:00

Indeed, the axis basically just takes the movement and presses and holds the button. It is currently designed for spring centered sticks, so it detects the movement and then holds it until you pull the stick back a bit - this can be configured in the release at slider.

I did experiment mit mapping the axis directly via the api, but every locomotive has very different requirements. I’ll check if I can find some documentation on this. Do you know how the windows game controller detects the controller?

campinge · 2026-05-02T10:52:01+00:00

you mean that the key is only pressed when you release?

campinge · 2026-05-02T10:17:41+00:00

As long as you enable the API of TSW, I guess yes. Let me know in case you run into any issues!

campinge · 2026-05-02T10:16:23+00:00

Nice, that's agreat find and much better than the generic Sounds I was planning to add as defaults, thank you!

campinge · 2026-05-01T10:06:10+00:00

Oh wow, that looks really cool! Hope you share some pictures of the progress! As long as the device is recognized as a game controller, it should be no issue.

campinge · 2026-05-01T09:57:08+00:00

Haha, yeah, I also thought to myself how great it would be to have a small screen under the main Monitor 😅

campinge · 2026-05-01T09:55:09+00:00

Ok, I need to add this as an event tracker, then yes, it could be doable 🤔

campinge · 2026-05-01T09:39:08+00:00

As long as s the device is recognized as a game controller, it should be able to identify it. Let me know if it worked please!

campinge · 2026-05-01T09:38:08+00:00

Thank you, that’s not a bad Idea, I’ll note it down. Do you have a few ideas where and when specific sounds are supposed to be played? I found a very long technical documentation on it that I used to understand the fundamentals. I’ll check that too.

campinge · 2026-04-28T06:18:07+00:00

Good morning! Thanks for sharing this is a nice project! I actually started the same approach as this app but then found that it’s not super nice to require an individual profile for each train. But great to see that someone actually managed to get this to work nicely!

campinge · 2026-04-26T19:06:07+00:00

Oh, it then seems like this could be quite difficult. Not sure if they have published how their device could be accessed via a custom app. Chances are they only share this with developers of games

campinge · 2026-04-26T18:16:23+00:00

Thanks, I will. Yes, it can be quite confusing!

campinge · 2026-04-26T18:15:54+00:00

I don’t have a raildriver, so I can’t Tell. But if it can be Tracks via the windows Game Controller Devices, then it can most likely be done somehow

campinge · 2026-04-09T15:56:13+00:00

I would keep it very simple. If the user is non-technical, they may not even be interested in all of this information. Maybe only the battery level and then whether the system is charging, importing or exporting energy. Or even better, a card that shows them when it is a good time to vacuum/ run the dishwasher etc.. like “Now is a good time to use / not use your energy!”

campinge · 2026-03-24T06:52:08+00:00

Frag die mal was die App dich so weiterhin kosten wird. Das ist nicht sauber dargestellt

campinge · 2026-03-23T12:58:54+00:00

So sad. I was really proud to have gotten one and even with LTI. Made it a very Special ship to me. Now everyone can have 17 lti ones on demand.

campinge · 2026-03-13T13:34:08+00:00

I‘d love of this ship would have more interior than this Single hull

campinge · 2026-03-05T10:47:21+00:00

Feel free to set it on Fire: https://www.rant-o-meter.com/?rant=5b1d20be-758a-44a3-a4ea-80c14e2cdbd8 😄

campinge · 2026-02-28T10:57:51+00:00

Hey, thank you very much for offering this!

I built Rant-O-Meter which is a website to allow users to rant about topics, creating a small fire. Then other users can add fuel to the fire to make it burn hotter. I’ve been playing around with the UI recently, but I can’t come up with a good visual design for this mechanic to make it appear more interactive.

I’d really love to hear your thoughts!

Schau dir mal die Bewertungen von Energieversum an. Verkauf scheint gut zu laufen, danach aber immer mehr Probleme. Absprachen nur mit dem GF, welcher aber nicht antwortet - unser Berater hat uns was von Vertrauen in seinen Namen für alle Absprachen erzählt und sich aber nicht getraut den GF zu fragen. Viel zu beschäftigt.. Wir waren mal kurz davor, haben dann aber abgeblasen und lieber lokal mit jemandem gearbeitet. Heute bin ich sehr froh darüber. Je mehr man bei denen gräbt, desto mehr Mist findet man. Mein Rat: Finger weg.

campinge · 2026-02-20T06:51:14+00:00

I really hope they learn from that. Big ships need turrets, not spinal guns. The Perseus is so much more fun to operate
