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

Metrosimulator is compatible with joysticks.

To assign buttons and axes, in the Options menu, click the right "Change" button and then move your joystick at the preferred axis or click the preferred button. In order to assign the joystick lever for accelerating and braking click the "CONTROL_TRAIN_POWER" (for acceleration) and "CONTROL_TRAIN_BRAKING" (for braking) Change buttons.
