I've been using my Rail Driver with Open Rails for years with no issues at all. I recently updated with Open Rails U2022.03.06-1552, and now Rail Driver disconnects as soon as any activity that I load starts up. Any suggestions on how to correct this would be most welcome.

Have you tried the MG version? I update on a regular basis (currently 119) and have never had a problem with my RailDriver.

Also the MG version has an options tab for RailDriver which makes configuring and assigning keys etc much easier.

Should Rail Driver work with the Unstable version of Open Rails (ie U2022.03.06-1552)as quoted in this post?

Yes, it should.

I don't have a RailDriver so can't test this.

If there is anyone reading this who has both RailDriver and Visual Studio, then I would be happy to work with them on correcting this.

I'm not familar with that. Is the MG version the "stable" version? (currently 1.4) If so, no, I haven't tried that yet.
I did just update to U2022.03.13-1352 Still can't use RailDriver with it.

Did you get it working or did you give up? I should have my first RailDriver in a couple of days so I need to know. :)

I have a Raildriver I got it for Christmas last year and love it, works great with TSW2!
Unfortunately, when I try to use it with Open Rails, the Raildriver quits as if it disconnected itself.

How do I resolve this issue?


Which version of OpenRails are you using?

Does the log file have any entries showing issues.
