ST 3 Help

SteamTRAIN Help New: Supports larger displays of many shapes including True HD (1920 x 1080). Controls: For a quick start, SteamTRAIN keyboard controls are quite simple: o Left or Right Arrow controls the loco Throttle and forward/reverse lever o Left & Right Arrows Together zeros the Throttle and forward/reverse lever o Up or Down Arrow controls the direction of all track Switches (map view) o Space Bar controls the Brakes on/off toggling (loco steam or train air) o “S” or Slash Key ( / ) controls on/off toggling of Sand, for extra Traction o “W” or “V” Key controls one blast of loco Whistle steam and sound o “B” Key controls on/off toggling of loco Bell motion and sound o “D” Key adds to track Downgrade manually (overrides the map) o “U” Key adds to track Upgrade manually (overrides the map) o “I” Key Identifies individual cars for train make-up and switching practice o “M” Key controls on/off toggling of Station Map, Dispatcher & Mail Train Win o “L” Key controls Railroad Clock manually -- daylight or night running o “O” Key toggles Oil Lantern on/off (night only, when stopped) o “P” Key controls on/off toggling of SteamTRAIN PAUSE o “F” Key toggles between Frame Rate and Railroad Clock o “N” Key toggles between Numeric and Symbolic Data Bar o “T” Key rotates the Turntable counterclockwise (loco-tender only) o “Y” Key rotates the Turntable clockwise (loco-tender only) o PageUp or PageDown controls upper/lower Screen Proportions Data: Along the center of the screen you will find the data bar, which provides the engineer/fireman/crew with critical numeric feedback data (from left-to-right): G = track Grade or slope (%) in percent W = relative amount tender Water (%) available C = relative amount tender Coal (%) available S = relative amount of loco Sand (%) available S Box Indicates whether traction Sand is ON B Box Indicates whether Brake(s) are ON T = locomotive Throttle (%) (also forward/reverse lever in cab window) SW = SWitch direction arrow -- north/south on track map P = boiler Pressure (psi) in pounds-per-square-inch [ (kPa) kilo-Pascals ] D = Driver wheel speed (mph) in miles-per-hour [ (kph) kilometers-per-hour ] L = Locomotive/train speed (mph) in miles-per-hour [ (kph) ] CK = Clock, Railroad Time (hours : minutes) accelerated, or FR = drawing Frame Rate (fps) in frames-per-second The Symbolic Data Bar option is toggled on or off with the “N” key (numeric).
