Raildriver notes
I just got a Raildriver so I am not an expert, but here us what I found:
1. The Raildriver software is specific to the version of Trainz you are running. Try checking the Raildriver website for the correct version of software.
2. The Raildriver must be calibrated. The calibration setup is listed under the Options menu of the Raildriver Manager which should have been loaded on your computer when you loaded the Raildriver software.
Happy driving!

Trainz can be installed in any drive and Raildriver can be made to work with it. It's a long time ago but I seem to remember that I had some problems in early versions. I've had Raildriver working in every version from TRS2004 through TS2009, even on multiple versions on the same machine.
Do you have the latest drivers from PI Engineering? www.raildriver.com/support/downloads.php
When you say only some controls work can you be more specific.
a. Do the Buttons work?
b. Are you in DCC mode as only some of the controls are active in this mode?
c. Do the horn, bell and lights work?
d. Have you set it up using the calibrator?

Operating your RailDriver Controller for use with Auran
Trainz 2004, 2006, Classics, Railwayz and 2009
When the RailDriver is not active, “rd” will be displayed in the
status window of the controller.

From the main menu, select “Driver”.

Select your “Route” and “Route Session”.

Once the session loads, you will be asked to select a “Train

“DCC Mode”, only the throttle is supported.

The Status Window on the Controller will now display the current

The above is an extract from the Raildriver Manual. These days there is no paper manual as changes to simulator often require changes to manual. This e-manual will lead you through the installation, calibration and operation of the Raildriver.

When in Trainz DCC mode only the one control works just like a model railroad controller. For all controls to work you must be in Trainz Cab mode. Raildriver will sense which mode you are in. The keys work in both modes but I have never seen working windscreen wipers. The Raildriver LED display reads mph regardless of whether you are in metric or imperial. The key does toggle the game correctly though.
