In order to increase the brake notch on a train with separate power/brake handles, press the BRAKE_INCREASE (.) key. Be aware though that applying too much brake can result in wheel-lock, which prevents the train from decelerating altogether. Higher brake notches correspond to higher deceleration. The amount of brake notches depends on the train. If a brake notch is selected, the indicator will display anything like B1, B2, B3, and so on. If the brakes are cut off, the indicator will display N. The brake lever controls how much power is applied to the electric brakes, or how much pressure is applied to the physical brakes. To decrease the power notch, press either the SINGLE_NEUTRAL (A) or the SINGLE_BRAKE (Q) key. On a train with a combined power/brake handle, press the SINGLE_POWER (Z) key to increase the power notch. To decrease the power notch, press the POWER_DECREASE (A) key. In order to increase the power notch on a train with separate power/brake handles, press the POWER_INCREASE (Z) key. Be aware though that applying too much power can result in wheel-slip, which prevents the train from accelerating altogether. Generally, a higher power notch corresponds to higher acceleration. The amount of power notches available depends on the train. If a power notch is selected, the indicator will display anything like P1, P2, P3, and so on. If the power is cut off, the power indicator will display N. The power lever controls how much power is applied to the engines. To move the reverser backward by one notch, press the REVERSER_BACKWARD (B) key. In order to move the reverser toward the forward position by one notch, press the REVERSER_FORWARD (F) key.
Normally, when you start the simulation, you will have to move the reverser into the forward position. There are three states of the reverser: B (Backwards), N (Neutral) and F (Forwards) To change the direction of travel, operate the reverser. If the train uses a combined power/brake handle, the power and brake indicators are merged into a single indicator. The emergency brake is depicted as part of the brake indicator if applied.
The states of the reverser, power lever and brake lever are depicted in the bottom-left corner of the screen in this order. The most basic controls in the train include the reverser, the power lever, the brake lever and the emergency brakes. The Reverser, Power Lever and Brake controls

You should, in any case, consult the operational manual of the train (if available) for more specific details.ġ. This page mainly depicts the built-in systems. If you remap the keyboard controls or assign controls to joysticks, work with the names to identify the underlying control.Īdditionally, it should be noted that many trains use plugins that provide their own driving mechanisms and security systems. Please note: Controls are given with their name and their default keyboard configuration, e.g.

In the following article, the invidual elements of the interface are explained and you are given instructions on how to operate the train. When you are driving a train, the interface you are presented with looks somewhat like this: This page describes the basic driving controls and interfaces. A Quick Overview On the Simulation Controls
