TRS19 introduces a new Driver UI (User Interface). Many of the functions will be familiar to Trainz users, although there are several new systems introduced.

Contents

General Driver UI Buttons

At the bottom right corner of the Driver UI are a set of buttons that will appear in most, or all, UI modes.

Driver UI Buttons Panel

Driver UI Buttons Panel The Buttons Panel provides a selection of buttons for driving your train. Different buttons will be available to use depending on the train you are driving; these buttons are available in all UI modes.

See Driver UI Buttons Panel for further information.

Track Profile

The new Track Profile feature provides a brand new way to view the track ahead of you, showing you the grades ahead along with a variety of track features.

The features shown on the track profile can be customised by right-clicking on the track, and then selecting the features you would like to see.

You can also zoom in and out to show more, or less, of the track depending on the speed you're travelling at or the density of trackside objects ahead of you.
