When I found out after getting Rail Simulator, that I could not use my Raildriver controls yet, I started pondering if there were any alternatives to the keyboard I could use until the RD drivers come out.
Noticing a USB Logitech Dual Controller that I keep around, laying on my desk, I remembered a little utility that came with it that allows you to assign keyboard commands to the controller.
I thought I'd give it a try. Here is how I set it up;
I was surprised at just how well this works! Also it is easier on my hands than the keyboard. I was sorry that I hadn't thought of this back when I didn't have a RD. I had tried to do something similar with my CH Throttle Quadrant, but that had turned out not to be as successful.
Anyway, I thought I'd pass this idea on for anyone looking for a cheap alternative to the keyboard for MSTS or RS. As this controller sells for only 19.95USD.
Personally I wouldn't choose this over the Raildrive, but I do like this setup better than using the keyboard alone.
