Driving like a pro

Now we are ready to learn how to drive a train as it should be. First of all check if you have done the start-Up sequence. In order of the Simulation check the cables, Monitor, mouse, keyboard and PC if everything is working fine.

Now to drive consequent and proper you need to understand a major rule:

"It is important to know how to drive a train, but it is much more to know important how to stop a train"

When you have learned to drive as explained and you have develop you right skill and appearance then Chapter 3 Standard Driving will be dismissed completely.

There are some tutorials how to drive a train concerning this simulator at You Tube. But at a closer look they teach you rubbish. So it is nice to see, but take this proposition: Do not follow up like how they show you to.

Now there are some major issues you'll have to learn:

1 - The passenger may not notice you drive a train.

This means you have to drive that smooth so you can leave a glass of water filled up to the edge of that glas and not a single drop will spilled of that water.

G forces are always noticed by passengers:

1 - A passenger feels the G force when the driver drives roughly.

2 - A passenger feels when the ATB/ZUB brakes kicks in.

3 - A passenger feels when a train start.

4 - A passenger feels when a train brakes.

5 - A passenger feels when you drive through a power separator (large gap of at least 30 meter between two third rail catchpoints)

There is a way and method to overrule these feeling.

Actually the main rule: A passenger may NOT feel all notified issues concerning the G forces!

If they do, passengers will complain about you and you have failed.

When you turn into a curve, the water must remain in the glass and not fall over the edge.

This is professional driving!
