Congratulations! You are now using Trainz In-Game Help Mode!

Though it feels somewhat redundant, you probably clicked on the upper right (?) icon in Trainz, selected "click on an object you want help with" and then you hovered over the very same icon again with the hand pointer symbol and clicked.

You are on your way to discovering much more about how to use Trainz.

  • Click On An Object On Screen You Want Help With - See Help Picker for details.

Driver Mode will show a slightly different version of the Help Mode interface. Instead of opening a new window, it will show a list with the following options:

  • View Help Requests - This will open the 'View Help Requests' page of the 'Ask A Question Of The Trainz Community' tool.


Help Picker

The Help Picker allows you to click on buttons, icons, or other UI objects to obtain help with them. When you click on the object, it will open a new internet browser window and load the relevant help page on our Help wiki!

Once you have a wiki page open, you can navigate through the wiki pages using links in the (usually blue) linked text or at the bottom of the page.

Close or minimise the internet browser to return to Trainz.
