One thing that isn’t overly helpful is the GPS system though. Once you get the hang of the controls though it is intuitive enough and the user interface does try to help you out.
Toggles the brake, and away we … go? Oh the regular brakes are also on full … let’s just turn them off and get going … oops full reversed into the trainyard … I am sure that will buff out. Time to get moving! … we are not moving … more speed … we are still not moving … oh silly me parking brake must be on. Brakes and Acceleration are set to two separate controls, which makes sense, however, you can apply both simultaneously, which also makes sense, but this was a source of confusion for me early on. You see there are levers you can either move yourself or use keyboard shortcuts, either work. I have to admit I started off a little badly in general. The rest of the tutorial went fine enough.
I had actually tried that before, but it must have been slightly off the acceptable mark. Having to look straight up, straight down, considerably to the right and considerably to the left eventually triggered it. It turns out it is just coded with very tight tolerances on what is acceptable. I persevered though and eventually got it to work. It was a simple enough task, move the mouse and look in four different directions, having done that and not having it credit the action led me to try again using my gamepad but that too failed (and oddly enough the default movement speed for the gamepad is extremely slow in comparison to the mouse default). The tutorial actually had me worried initially because I thought it was broken right out of the gate. Train Life: A Railway Simulator is in Early Access and while it does show a bit of that state right now, the game does have potential. Train Life A Railway Simulator Free Download Repacklab
