1 General information
It is not only important that the names selected here are used for events, axes and variables. It is also important to offer all events listed here! Even if, for example, only "Door1Open" and "Door1Close" are required by the mouse events, the event "Door1Toggle" should still be programmed in so that users who have already set up a key combination for this can also use it.
When scripting game controller axes, all axes that come into question should be provided; for example, setpoint generators should react to pure "throttle" axis inputs as well as to inputs from combination lever inputs.
2 Keyboard, mouse click and game controller key events

Initiation and increase of tunnelling. Road vehicles: First, if necessary, release the brake pedal immediately and completely, then, while pressing the button, quickly depress the accelerator pedal in the direction of "medium full throttle", after releasing it again gently release the accelerator pedal. Trains with setpoint generator: Continuous forward movement, temporary waiting or expectation of settling and re-pressing when resting Trains with combined travel crank or speed step wheel: movement of the crank by one notch in the direction of maximum performance at the touch of a button |

Trains with setpoint generator or combined crank: Very fast and complete movement to the neutral position |
| Brake | Brake (only road vehicles or railways with combined controls) | Road vehicles: firstly, if necessary, immediate and complete release of the accelerator pedal, followed by continuous application of the braking force and, after release, maintaining it
Trains with setpoint generator: Continuous backward movement, temporary waiting or expectation of settling and re-pressing when resting. Trains with combined crank: movement of the crank by one notch in the direction of braking per keystroke |

2.8 "Bord computer"
As on-board computer is meant here somewhat colloquially any kind of device which serves the primary input and output of electronic, digital data, which is used in particular for communication, PIS and/or the issue of tickets. Typical examples are IBIS, RBL, ticket printer etc.
In my opinion the most international and general collective term is ITCS, "Intermodal Transport Control System", which is why I use it as a prefix.

3 Gamecontroller axles
3.1 Vehicle control
| ID | Shortcut | Direction | Additional information |
|---|---|---|---|
| Throttle | Throttle, thrust lever | 0 = no throttle 1 = full throttle |
Serves for control via a pure thrust/gas pedal axis. Combi levers should also react to this. |
| Brake | Braking lever, braking pedal | 0 = no braking force 1 = emergency braking |
Serves for control via a pure brake pedal/lever axle. However, combination levers should also react to this. The axle should initiate an emergency brake at maximum. |
| BrakeWithoutMax | Braking lever, braking pedal, without max brake | 0 = no braking force 1 = max. normal braking force |
Serves for control via a pure brake pedal/lever axle. However, combination levers should also react to this. The axle should not initiate emergency braking at maximum. |
| ThrottleBrake | Throttle-brake combination | 0 = emergency braking 0,5 = neutral 1 = full throttle |
Serves primarily for the control of a combination setpoint generator. However, individual pedals/levers should also react to this. The axle should at least initiate a quick brake. |
| ThrottleBrakeWithoutMax | Throttle-brake combination without max brake | 0 = max. normal braking 0,5 = neutral 1 = full throttle |
Serves primarily for the control of a combination setpoint generator. However, individual pedals/levers should also react to this. The axle should at least not initiate a quick brake. |
