The software that is required for Railworks is on the raildriver.com site for download - so that RailDriver will work - you just need the software.

You press Run/Stop in RW to change to MPH or back to KMH. The Raildriver software has an interface that lets you change the functions of the various buttons

You could tell us which key you are programming and what values you are using. Let us know if you are using MW2 or MW3 also.

OK. I've checked now.

Shift + Numpad ENTER toggles the vigilance system. Default is OFF. So define one button for this.
Numpad ENTER acknowledges a vigilance audio alert. Define another button for this.

See the London to Brighton manual, page 12

Well that's halfway there.
Did you save .mw3 file to a new filename and made sure it's assigned to RailDriver 53 as the active file?

The horn lever is one discrete input regardless of which way it is operated. Therefore it will only simulate the action of one keyboard key.
The rule of thumb is: one RD assignment = one keyboard key.

I feel I should say that from the nature of your questions it seems that you have not read and understood the manuals.
I sympathize with this as it also seems that English may not be your first language. I am happy to continue to answer your questions but I would be grateful if you could take extra time to read the RD manuals again as well as the technical notes on PIE's website.

At the moment RD are working on new scripts for TS2012 that will vastly improve compatibility with the latest updates to the programme and the newer locos available.
It may just be easier to wait for the new scripts to be released.

i have been on the raildriver website and looked through manuals and the impression i got was you need to create a function so if i need to create a function for the drivers vigilance device where do start
