Check out our Train Sim World 3 Top 5 Tips below to help you get started in your journey of mastering the machine...
Be Ready for Anything
With a toggle of a switch, Dynamic Weather can add excitement and variety to every journey by impacting the train adhesion and surrounding environment. No matter the time of day or year, you can experience worsening or improving weather conditions. You will need to keep your concentration levels high as the rain pours down or the snow starts to build up on the tracks.
Practice Makes Perfect
Drivers spend months training so don't be afraid if something goes wrong, you can practice in the Training Center. Climb aboard any of the nine locomotives featured in Train Sim World 3 and learn how to drive them in an environment free of the stresses of arriving at stations on time and complex signal systems. Take your time in learning the ins and outs of your favourite Train Sim World 3 trains to truly master them.
