    Hi All, I have a recollection of being able to sit back and enjoy the AI driving the player train in TSC, how I did it I cannot remember but recall it being something to do with a mod or backdoor testing method of controlling a train. Google searches prove fruitless, It may have been on UKTS which is gone now. Any assistance much appreciated.

    I know there was an undocumented feature in MSTS but I never came across it in Railworks/TSC.

    Go into the game's properties menu on steam. Under the "General" tab, at the bottom you'll see "Launch Options". Add "-followaitrain" to your launch options (include the hyphen and make sure it's all lower case). Load up a scenario, go into the "8" camera. CTRL-click once on the player train to let the AI take over. CTRL-click a second time to set the camera to follow it. Sit back and enjoy. You can change between different AI trains using Page Up and Page Down.

    Thanks for this info. I actually knew you could do this for AI trains but I didn't know you could do it for the player train. After trying it out I remembered why I didn't use it much. There is a stutter that occurs at seemingly regular intervals. Maybe this only happens on my installation I don't know. If it does happen to everybody then possibly someone might have a fix for it. Unlikely I know.

    I get that stuttering also, AI has always done its to some degree in TSC and for that matter TSW too.....
