Trainz Simulator 12 at a Glance

Something for Everyone Trainz is designed to be flexible and open-ended allowing train buffs total freedom and full functionality. Choose How to Interact Drive locos, operate a railroad or sit back and watch the trains go by. Or perhaps just keep adding more details to the route you have always dreamt of. Experience Realistic Physics Choose the in-cab control system for a totally realistic train driving experience. The physics system accurately models vehicle momentum, individual component systems and physical effects such as air and curve resistance. Simple Driving controls If you don’t know your independent brakes from your reverser, or prefer a simpler approach, choose "DCC" mode and drive your trains more like a model railroad. Steam, Diesel or Electric Whatever your favorite era, railroad or motive power, Trainz has a locomotive just for you – and there are dozens from every region of the world included. Control Multiple Trains Trainz is not all about driving. If you prefer to operate the whole railroad, allocate Drivers to each loco and set them to work using Driver Commands. Goal Oriented Sessions Immerse yourself in the challenge of complete scheduled tasks in a variety of different rail environments. New Multiplayer Action Take charge of your own locomotive and carry out your work orders in a fully interactive experience with people from all around the world. Line-side Cameras, Tracking Cameras, In-cab Cameras Whatever your point of view, inside or out, Trainz lets you admire your favourite trains and routes from any angle. Take Stunning Screenshots Part of the beauty of trains is to snap a picture and capture the scene forever. Trainz makes this as easy as the press of a button. Surround Yourself with Sound Crank up your speakers, add a sub-woofer and FEEL the throb of a 3000HP diesel. Or check out the Doppler effect of the horn as the train passes by. Feel Like you are Trackside With highly detailed locos, tracks, textures and more, and a powerful 3D graphics engine, you will really feel like you are inside the world of Trainz. New Satellite View Zoom your camera all the way out to view your entire route from orbit.
