Train simulator

Article summary

electric locomotive, produced by CNR Dalian and Southwest Jiaotong University A train simulator (also railroad simulator or railway simulator ) is a computer-based simulation of rail transport operations. They are generally large complicated software packages modeling a 3D virtual reality world implemented both as commercial trainers, and consumer computer game software with 'play modes' which lets the user interact by stepping inside the virtual world. Because of the near view modeling, often at speed, train simulator software is generally far more complicated software to write and implement than flight simulator programs.
