What are the "useless" features that N3V are adding?
yes good question
Is that not a third party additional control set? Creators can do as they wish with their game. That’s sort of the point, right?
Hotbox’s locomotives have keyboard shortcut support as well, because it was created that way.
One users "useless feature" is another's "most used feature".
I am currently not using TLR. A "useless feature" because I do not use it but I can see it has great potential and could become a "most used feature" those who do not want to deal with session rules and driver commands. Likewise, I have never used Multiplayer (Surveyor and the new Driver versions) - another "useless feature" but I am sure that there are others who find Muliplayer to be "most used feature".
It is always easy to view the world through your own blinkers.

I had the opportunity to try Multiplayer Surveyor in the early days. It was interesting working on one side of a route while others were driving or sometimes working together landscaping and decorating the route. Editing and testing the route this way felt natural because testing and driving were nothing more than driving without needing to switch modes as we do now. A short time after this test, some of this technology showed up later on as UDS which we've grown to love or hate.
I have a feeling that this will eventually replace the Surveyor route editing mode and Session editing mode. Setting up and saving a session will be there but there won't be any reason to have to jump out of the route to do so.

I used to play multiplayer sessions on TS12 a lot when I was in my mid-teens about 14-16 years ago, and it was fun to interact with other users through the digital landscape. These days, I'm not into online multiplayer as I was all those years ago (a main reason why I was and never will be interested in other games that solely rely on online multiplayer functionality, such as Overwatch and Fortnite). If I were to have a Trainz Plus subscription, it would be to only check out the HD Terrain feature (which sounds cool, though I heard that it can bloat up route file sizes), though as you mentioned, some folks may find Multiplayer Surveyor to be a "most used feature."

I suppose everyone is curious to see how the grass sways in the wind while sitting in the cab of a train speeding along at 160 km/h.
Also i don't give a fuck about multiplayer .
Does OpenRails offer any other view other than from the cab?
Each to their own of course but for me some other new plus finalised versions of features would be nice. Trainz Plus subscribers have been ‘trying out’ ‘exclusive’ and ‘new’ features for 4 years now in some cases.
It’s been a tedious wait for final versions of these features and any new features on top. The latest beta - which comes 8 months after SP6 - does not appear to address this. The latest Trainz newsletter talks about features that were first mentioned 15 months ago.

Since your signature tells us that you have lost interest in trainz, do us a favour and leave us poor misguided plebs alone. Don't let the door hit your butt on the way out, it closes fast!
Hi Wreeder
This keyboard controlset is created by a 3rd party creator; and was not made by N3V. Content Creators can make their own controlset assets where custom functions can have custom key bindings specified; allowing you to then specify which keys you want to use for them.
Regards
So if I am seeing this correctly, something called Scrap E2 by gdennish installed by the DLC route Midwestern Branch - TRS19 as a dependency of an session called Dummy Session is what installed this controlset? Dummy Session is made by hiawathamr but does not show up as a session for the route in the session menu for the route. It looks to be identical to the Base Session. I have deleted every asset with TTTE in the name and I don't show any faulty assets but since Scrap E2 was listed as packaged then I assume it might come back.
In 136192 (with only one DLC installed), no trace of any TTTE section in "Control Settings".
In 132284 (with all DLCs installed), there are a few additional sections, among them "TTTE - Script Controls".
So N3V didn't add controls for TTTE, but some DLC did (15 include assets with "TTTE" in their name).
