Welcome to Metro Simulator Beta! In this tutorial, you'll learn how to download and start the simulator as well as picking and entering a map to play!

Downloading the game

  • Before you start, you need to download the game. You can do it directly from here or by going to the main page of the website (https://sim.bemined.nl/).
  • After downloading, follow the instructions of the installer, and preferrably install the game in the default path.
  • If for some reason, the browser deems the file unsafe or a similar situation occurs during the first launch by the Windows Smart Screen, you are safe to dismiss those errors as the game is absolutely safe.

DirectX®

Before you can start the game you need to be sure that you have installed the latest DirectX version. You can download the latest version HERE

Starting for the first time

The first time you open the MetroSimulator there will show a setupwindow were you can set your resolution, graphics and your Graphic Card (if you have more than one).

As you see not every function is available in this beta version.

Startmenu of the MetroSimulator

Now it is time to open the MetroSimulator. Now you see a window were you can choose your route (if more routes are loaded). After that you can select a activity or explore the map in explore. For people with the source files there will be a editor button. Before you chose your activity you can select two settings on top of the window. The first one is player mode, in this mode it is all yours. Or play in AI mode and let the AI do all the work for you. The other one is the realistic mode and arcade mode, in arcade mode coupling and shunting is easier but less realistic.

The actual startup menu as you see it.
