Locomotive Analogue Control Continued

This is an updated version of a mod by Greeny1994 that allows using a device that acts like a game controller to control a locomotive. This allows for physical controls for throttle and brakes, which is more natural, especially when not playing in VR.

This can work with a normal game controller, but that's not going to be fun to play with because a normal joystick and analog trigger doesn't stay in place like the throttle and brake levers of the engines in the game do. Instead this is meant to work with something like the controllers that are made for flight sims, specifically the ones that include or are just the throttle levers (search for "throttle quadrant"). The new mod author has not tested any of these though. If any of these are going to work, your best bet is to try to find with that can be programmed for what axis is being provided for each stick.

Alternatively this mod can be used with a custom built controller, which is what the new mod author has done.

This can be done with an Arduino Micro and three potentiometers. Details on this build can be found here.

To install the mod, use Unity Mod Manager. Instructions for setup can be found in the README.md file in the zip file.
