Using TrainSim Helper with TS 64-bit

[lilman316]

Does anybody still use Trainsim helper, and if so does/ is there a way to get it to work with 64-bit? I can only get it to work on 32 bit TS. If there isn't a way to make it work is there another utility out there that does work and does the same thing? thank you!

I never tried to run it on 64-bit. I don't play TS much anymore. I might try at some point to get the 64bit working. TBH I'm not sure why that wouldn't work as TSH doesn't communicate with TS on any binary level where 64 would cause issues. What exactly doesn't work?

As for a different program CobraOne on UK forums was also developing a similar program for Raildriver. I'm not sure, but he might've added regular joysticks as well.

It works fine when running in 32 bit, but it doesn't activate with 64 bit edition. I usually only use it to run smokebox's steamers. I also really like that it shows the upcoming track speed and the distance from where it changes. An update for 64-bit would be amazing, but I personally don't notice much of a difference with either version on my PC.

As an option to Train Sim Helper I have been using TS2019 Raildriver & Joystick interface in 64 bit with very few issues.

I use keyboard and mouse, not a joystick. I just like the extra information available with the trainsim helper hud.
