Are there assignable keybinds yet in SimRail?
Hello. I am currently wondering about buying SimRail, as it looks like a great train simulation. I have played the demo and enjoyed it, but just to confirm, does the full version of the game have assignable keybinds? The reason I ask is because I am playing on a high spec razer gaming laptop with no number pad, so it is a little awkward for me having to click and pull the levers to drive. I know it said there is in the demo, but I can't find any information regarding this anywhere else.

Yes, while few keys are hardcoded, everything for train operation is rebindable. We're working on new input system with controler support that also will improve binding for keyboard with modifier keys asignable for whatever you'd want impoved conflict detection and ability to reuse keys in different context.

Ok, thanks for your help! My other question was, what is the download size? I have a rather slow internet so it will take a while to download on my machine.

It's around 50 Gigas, for the intial download.

Then, you have to be connected to Internet to play in Multi-Player mode. In this mode, your local game works together with a remote server. In this mode, you play with potentially 70 players and bots driving trains et around 20 dispatchers in the Boxes.

In Single-Player, you can play Offline, but you are alone on the tracks.

The multiplayer shouldn't be a problem for me, but that 50 gigabyte download size is putting me off. Are there any plans to try and reduce this? The game itself takes up 50 gigabytes of disc space, so is there really no way of reducing file size by compressing files?

Sorry, the 50 Gigas are on disk.

I didn't remember how big was the initial download, but I thought it was around 40 Gigas (I have a 6 Gb/hour connection, and I vaguely remember the download was 6 or 7 hours long).

Edit : I've just found a special site where you can download Simrail who said : "Download size : 40 Gb". Don't try it, just look at it, but don't go farther ...

Simrail need to be bought from Steam, and when using it is connecting with Steam account. Don't forget that, with Steam, you have two hours of playing maximum to be refunding if it doesn't works well.

For 34 euros, you have 500 km of track, 5 types of locomotives, Multi-Player, Dispatching, and more coming soon ...

Ok, thanks for all your help! 40 Gigas sounds more reasonable, might get it in the next steam sale hopefully!
