Hello All!I have been playing around with cabs lately, and was wondering if anyone used mouse controls. I personnally find them difficult to use, and prefer the keyboard. Should I include mouse controls on any cabs that I may create? Your $0.02 worth welcome here.Bob

Well I use a raildriver but besides that I'm guessing some people use both depends on what your running. When I use steam and play fireman I like to use the mouse the most.AEM7AC 920

Can't guarantee that I'm a representative sample, but I haven't used the mouse in a _long_ time. I may use it on occasion, but it's just not as simple to use.

I have been using the click and drag method with my favorite steam engines for a while now. I try to " simulate " by staying in the cab a lot and operating the real controls. My RAILDRIVER just doesn't cut it with steam.Wild Willy the Wacko
