Engine start/stop
This is probably the first thing you need to know (unless you have already started the engine in
Surveyor). There are two ways to start the engine:
The "engineers" way
• Enter the cab.
• Press the "]" key twice to focus the camera on the rear control panel.
Fig. 3 Rear Control Panel
• Set the switch α into the "Start/Stop/Isolate" position
• Move the switch β into the "Fuel Prime" position moving it up with the mouse (Optional
step, only sound effect)
• Move the switch β into the "Engine Start" position moving it down with the mouse. You will
hear the starting sound. Wait until the engine is idling steady.
• Set the switch α into the "Run" position. (Omitting this step, the engine will run but is
electrically isolated from the controller. Moving the throttle will have no effect).
• To stop the engine, click with the left mouse button (LMB) on the button χ . The engine will
shut down (takes few seconds). The engine doesn't consume fuel now.
This way start only the individual engine. Having more engines in the consist, you have to repeat the
procedure for each loco.
The quick and easy way
Press the "1" key on the keypad (KP1). All engines in the consist will start now. The first time in the
session, you have to press KP1 twice. To stop all engines in a consist, press KP1 again.
