À propos de ce jeu

Driving

• Customise your driving experience to suit your needs: either drive the train fully manually with optional helpful HUD guides, or activate the 'simple controls' mode for easy six-key driving.
  
• Drive using a keyboard, a gamepad, or use your mouse to control the interactive in-cab controls.
  
• Alternatively, hand the controls over to the AI, relax and watch the computer drive the train from any viewpoint, or change trains to view any currently active service.

Realism

• Physics are simulated in detail: individual components of the transmission are replicated to ensure realistic behaviour. The suspension of each vehicle is also modelled to make it bounce and sway over uneven trackwork.
  
• Sounds are mostly authentic: many of the most prominent sounds used in game are recordings of the real trains.
  
• Computer-driven AI trains occasionally make human-like mistakes like running late or misjudging braking at stations.

Gameplay

• Each route features a full daytime timetable with every service being drivable. Choose from hundreds of Inter-City, semifast, stopping, freight, rescue and empty coaching stock train services.
  
• Upon completing a service, your driving style and timekeeping are evaluated. Try the same run again to reach a higher score by braking more accurately or driving more economically, but stay alert: the signal that was green on the previous run might be red this time, due to a late-running AI train.
  
• The career mode ties individual runs together into a coherent experience with a good balance of randomisation and player choice.
  
• Unlock a variety of achievements to discover all the different styles of playing the simulator.

Trains

• Four British Railways diesel railcar classes with manual gearboxes: 112, 117, 122 and 126
  
• Class 127 railcar with torque converters (no need to change gears)
  
• Locomotives: Classes 03, 37 and 40
  
• A variety of passenger coaches and goods wagons
  
• More trains available on the Steam Workshop

Routes

• Choose from three routes totalling over 150 miles of track, each with their own unique feel:
  
• North Landen: a 4-track main line with express and stopping trains racing each other during the busiest hours of the day
  
• Westfords: a warm valley route with city centres connected by two alternative main lines and suburban branches at each end
  
• Mountain Pass: a double track through line with a single line section meandering over hilly, rugged landscape with challenging gradients
  
• More routes available on the Steam Workshop

Modding

• With the game's built-in train, route and timetable editors and Steam Workshop support, Diesel Railcar Simulator is the perfect game for modding:
  
• Train editor: create new liveries and trains using your own custom 3D-models and the built-in library of assets. Also includes an integrated vehicle body modelling tool which can be used without prior modelling experience
  
• Route Editor: create brand new routes using built-in assets, custom imported ones or create your own inside the editor
  
• Timetable editor: bring your route to life with busy traffic around the clock
