So this is my experience trying to learn how to drive the loco so I can teach my kid :
I load up the game and in the menu I select Tutorials and the first tutorial after vehicle tests (ETCS training scenario level 1) and press New game.
After a grueling loading time I get a UNSKIPPABLE intro (and after failing this tutorial 15 times you start to notice it.. also how can someone FAIL a tutorial hello?)
Anyway it says to procede to the train and activate the cab .. no other instructions .. fine I figure out how to open doors and get inside ..
So im in the cabin and just stand there for 5 minutes .. cool
I open youtube and find a video that shows to turn on the battery so I do that .. then the guy sits down .. I sit down SCENARIO PROCEDURE FAILED
ok .. after several attempts of this I go to simulation settings and turn everything off and finally I can sit down WITHOUT FAILING THE FIRST TUTORIAL
perfect so it says to enter the 9022 number so I figure out how to do that no problem its not rocket science (although if you press 22 too fast it becomes a!)
Then it says there are two scenarios 1 and 2 and we are on the first so ofc I press 1 and groundhog day..
After some time I notice the esagebe (SHP) system is number 5 so I press that and we are one step further..
Then it says to select option number 3 so this is the first time a clear instruction is given .. hurray
And now come the fun part:
he says to press the first option and then ENTER
NEXT CONFIRM AND ENTER THE DATA WITH THE YES BUTTON AND PRESS ENTER
so I spend half an hour looking for a yes button and hitting ENTER over and over and clicking the yes button on the screen because maybe its a touch screen..
after a while I noticed the YES is next to the 3 so I press that and then with 8 to confirm ..
after confirming the alert and waiting for a whole minute he just says to drive the train ...........
so AGAIN I open youtube and after another gruelsome trial and error experience and finding the right youtube tutorial I finally somehow manage to get the train going..
after not even 5 seconds the scenario fails again
now you would think that since I saved the game right before accelerating the train after I load it the train would move right ? right ?
the loading takes 3 times longer than if I used new game but fine.. no problem ...
I try to accelerate.. nothing.. I notice the game does not actually save the state of the train.. the cabin is turned off when I load ...
they probably had bugs doing that so they just turned everything off ...
I turn the cabin back on and close (hold) main swtich / panto on / compressor on / service brake running / spring brake disabled / forward / radio 1
NO MATTER WHAT I TRY THIS TRAIN WILL NOT BUDGE
fine .. so I restart the tutorial scenario again ... do all the steps ..
Train starts moving and after about 1 minute he says I aproach some indicator..
the again scenario failed..
THIS SHOULD BE CATEGORIZED AS SOFTWARE NOT A GAME
CATEGORIZING AND SELLING IT AS A GAME IS A SCAM IM SURE MANY FELL FOR
IT IS A BROKEN TRAINING SOFTWARE ON HOW TO CONTROL A FLAWED TRAIN CONTROL SYSTEM
