Train Simulator 2013

[Deleted]

A couple of things,

I have recently installed TS2013 and I drove a class 166 out of Paddington and I wanted to travel on the slow lines from the fast so I needed to change the points by pressing the correct key . Anyway, tried to but did not work so could you please tell me how I can properly change the points please. 

Also, When I was driving the class 166, I wanted to give the signal buzzer to the guard. I clicked on the buzzer and nothing happened. 

I also want to try and get the AWS sound to work on it as well as it dosen't sound when travelling over the magnet. 

One more thing, is it possible to control the doors from the cab of the 166 instead of pressing it from the simulator panel. I wanted the class 166 to be as close to DOO as possible.

I know the 166 is meant to be DOO as well as having guard operation. 

Please can you help?

Thank you

TS2013 should automatically upgrade to 2015 for a start provided that you are using steam in online mode. As for the points, was it in a quick drive session, or a free roam scenario? If it was a quick drive, then you can't change the points as the game sets the paths for you, You just drive, If it was a free roam session, then you could also try changing the points with the map, which is easier I find. As for the Buzzer, it doesn't work on this model, so there is nothing you can do about it. The AWS should sound, I can confirm that on my installation, I get the AWS clear "ding" as well as the warning horn. As for the doors, you can press T which opens the doors, but there is no way of closing the doors yourself in the game, other than the Armstrong powerhouse class 321, and their modified 319.

By the way, is there a way of skipping the intro at the start of the game? I can't find a way.

Try pressing the "esc" key. In TS2015 though, there is an option to disable the introduction video, there may be a similar one in 2013, but I can't remember for the life of me if there was!

I'm in simple controls, perhaps that's why the AWS is not sounding?

Also. is it possible to film the screen on ts15?

NOT screenshots.

You will require screen recording software that also records sounds, like the people who do tutorials on how to remove malware: I cannot advise on a particular one as I am unfamiliar with screen recording.

FRAPS and hypercam are used by a number of people, but it is worth googling "Screen capture software" and seeing what comes up and what best suits your requirements/budget/computer specs etc.

In other words, as has very much been suggested, screen recording does not come with the simulator, it's something you have to get separately. It's also, obviously, therefore not specific to any sim, or any other software, but can be used whenever you like (more or less - there may be some limitations with different screen recording software, I don't really know).
