I am new to the whole train sim game... I have played though the "tutorial" and tried to do the first mission morning delivery... but not sure what to do I can get my train to move but I keep messing up some how... so my questions are 1. Is there a wa https://xender.vip/y to cruise control the tain instead of having to push a and d all the time? 2. Can I set up a route before I start moving to get to where I need to go? 3. Any other tips or tricks would be highly appreciated thank you all so much! https://nox.tips/
Some trains have a cruise control or similar. Not all of them. You tend to find it on some of the German trains and one or two of the Uk ones. Unfortunately like most vehicles you need to control an accelerator to move it. American freight do not, I'm not sure so much on American passenger as I don't use loads. in terms of setting route up, if you mean setting time and weather you need service mode, if you mean choosing where you start and stop you need to use scenario planner. The game is based on real time tables so you cannot change stopping locations in service mode. Biggest hint and tip. TIP- make sure you run a tutorial with every train, they all have nuances HINT- search bar on forum you'll solve most things. For newbies most questions have been answered, for more experienced operations of trains, most things have been discussed here. Finally, stick with it and when you dabble in running a route with no HUD and safety systems on it opens it up again. Enjoy
