Train Simulator
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. Industrial train simulations Like flight simulators, train simulators have been produced for railway training purposes. Driver simulators include those produced by: * Avansim, based in the UK and Germany * Transurb Simulation, a Belgian-based company * FAAC (the training division of Arotech Corporation) in the United States * Ongakukan in Japan * EADS in Germany * Bentley Systems in the UK * Lander Simulation & Training Solutions ...
