Below you can find a recent list with keys and their actions. (At this moment only the controls that are working)<br/>
This is the '''Keyboard and Joystick''' page. Here, you can find (almost) all the available keyboard controls of the Metrosimulator. You can also find some information about joystick compatibility.
In [[Beta 3.9]] you can change the keyboard controls. You can not change everything like the move (free-camera) controls. You can only change the keys that are used for controlling the train.
 
If you give actions a key which already has an action, but can not be changed, thatwill cause two commands by pressing on only one key, and that's annoying.
Since [[Beta 3.9]] you can change the keyboard controls, through the Options menu of the simulator.

This is the Keyboard and Joystick page. Here, you can find (almost) all the available keyboard controls of the Metrosimulator. You can also find some information about joystick compatibility.

Since Beta 3.9 you can change the keyboard controls, through the Options menu of the simulator.
Note: Not all controls can be changed!

Joysticks
