Does Raildriver work in Railworks.......No.


Found this post on the US forum from Adam telling you how to set it up.


Hiya,

The problem is related to where RailDriver is looking for the RailDriver.dll

I got it working like this:

1. Navigate to this folder: C:\Program Files\PI Engineering\RailDriver MWII\XKeyDevices\Vid05F3Pid00D2
2. Open Report Config.txt in Notepad
3. Scroll to the bottom and look for this line: module plugins\RailDriver.dll
4. Change it to: module C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\railworks\plugins\RailDriver.dll
5. Save the file
6. Launch the RailDriver and then RailWorks and use as normal.

I got the idea off this page:

Hi all..... If this method everyone talks about doesn't work for you, I have two simple ways of doing it.

1.This is if you have Rail Simulator and have the Rail Simulator MWII installed already without problems.

A:Browse to your plugins folder in your Rail Simulator directory.
B:Go into your Rail Works directory and paste it in there.
C:Fire up your MWII and test it out.

2.This is if you are having trouble with the new RS/RW MWII drivers.

A:Go into your MWII folder.
B:Right click on the RailDriverLauncher.exe and click copy.
C:Go to your desktop and right click, then click paste shortcut.
D:Delete your existing shortcut (it doesn't work, or at least for the many people I've spoken to about it).
E:Rename your shortcut to something easy to find which would be near your Rail Works icon for speedy opening, e.g. "Rail Works RD"
F:Use your new shortcut to open the Rail Driver thing (you should see a red RD icon in the taskbar) and fire up RW to give it a whirl!

Although I have the RS "final" RD driver working fine I thought I would try the new RS/RW driver(red one) again using the ideas suggested.

Unfortunately, I can get no joy at all with it, so will stick with what I know works for me.
