Q. Why won't the demo run on my PC?
A.

First of all, check that your download is complete. The installed version should be around 71.6MB.

For further technical issues, please read the Technical FAQ page.



Q. How do I customize my driver session?
A.

Simple, drag and drop loco's and rolling stock onto the "consist window" at the bottom of the Driver screen. Next, click on Terrain and choose the terrain you wish to drive on. Then click on one of the arrows on the mini-map to place your consist. (You can create and add multiple consists by using the scroll arrows in the consist window). The final step before clicking the green light is to go into settings to choose weather and driving conditions and to save all these settings for quick loading next time.
