This has to be one of the best videos I’ve watched on the whole of UA-cam recently. To hear such a knowledgeable and professional driver. She really added an extra detail and she clearly loves her job.
Can you make this game compatible with the turtle beach velocity one flight stick on xbox SX. Because the stick has two levers, it would make controlling the trains a lot more realistic.
I play TSW4 and really liked this video. Jess you seem a very nice person. It was great to see a real driver play the game i like. Thankyou for your time.
This is really cool. Seeing her complete concentration and awareness on a sim gives me confidence that drivers on real trains are seriously paying attention! Normal gamers would be wuffing down a vegan poke bowl, texting and petting the cat while they drive, putting all the virtual passengers at risk!
I am a retired driver and have been using train simulation from BVE in the 90's to OpenBVE, Trainsimulator and now Train Sim World 4 and have always enjoyed them and experiencing the technical progress that has gone with them.
Totally agree with every word there chap! Love the class 101, especially in TSW... No cold draughts around your legs, 40 years on and I'm paying for it now, me knees are knackered.
@@milepost326 The Class 47's were my favourite locos but they became the worst for us where drivers were sitting in bin bags or having a coat or jacket over their knees.
I hope Dovetail actually take her feedback on board and correct the things that are wrong with the setup of the train to make it even more realistic. It is nice to get an insight to an actual driver on a HST.
They might not be ‘wrong’ to be fair. Particularly with software stuff, I wonder if it’s a bit like aeroplanes where companies can tailor the base software package to their own requirements which is why there would be a few differences on here.
@@kiwiavgeek yeah I thought that after I wrote it! Maybe it’s a licence thing where they can’t change anything, who knows. Just trying to avoid saying it’s wrong but because they got it wrong!
Technically, you can drive a car without a license if you know how to work with the vehicle. A train wouldn't be that far off, but insurance wise a hell.
Just have this video appearing in my home feed... I love how a railway company decides to put their staff to the test with a Train Sim game series. Good luck to you all, hope the series progresses to something amazing!
Would love to see more content like this from Jess, it feels like a real privilege to see what goes into train driving that so many of us take for granted.
Lovely idea, letting a real pro do their work , but on a sim. Jess is a bit cautious at first, but after awhile, the professional in her really comes out. Good stuff 👍
Her knowledge of her trains and layout of her nation is absolutely incredible. she knows every little detail and can explain it in a way everyone can understand. Love from Sweden
You really need to be switched on driving a train- so many things drivers need to do - so impressed with Jess's knowledge and ability hope all drivers are like this and they deserve to be paid well.
This driver rocks 🤟 We need her in TSW4 please pay her to make an advanced driving tutorial for the game 🙏 Thank you for showing us how the pro's drive ❤
As a US engineer, it's pretty remarkable to hear how many similarities there are between the way we run. Mainly in the physical characteristic knowledge of the territory. It's funny to see her looking for braking points that aren't in the game but are most certainly there for her every day IRL
This is amazing! I've watched dozens of 'real' aircraft pilots telling their impressions on simulated aircrafts, but this is the first time ever, that I can see a real train driver doing such a thing on a train simulator! Thank you both (the author and of course the gentle Jess) for the experience. Ah, and apologies for the horrid use of the english vocabulary and choice of words. English is not my main language, unfortunately… Cheers.
Thank you to Jess for playing the game. I am still new and it felt good to watch her set up the cab and tell us how similar/dissimilar the game train is from the real thing.
Excellent Video! Learned a few things. Hopefully Part 2 has safety systems turned on. DTG have them isolated by default to help new players with no train driving knowledge. A bit of a nuisance for the rest of us but hopefully one day they will give us an option to change the default status.
@MrJimheeren Safety systems aren't isolated by default in real trains though. Setting up the AWS/TPWS is literally just a case of switching the desk in and cancelling the horn. It's something I find a little bit annoying too, that there's no way to default to them being on.
So cool to see a person play a simulator of their real life job. There isn't many people who are willing to play a simulator of their real life work , there are many farmers in real life that won't play the farming simulators that are out. With railroad employees it's completely different they love what they do and can't get enough of being around trains.....me having a big love for trains i definitely would be playing the simulators on my down time if i was a railroad engineer 😁
That's really informative. I would like to see dovetail take on any feedback and make the simulation as accurate as possible. It would be great to have a route knowledge mode, giving the appropriate points to look for along the route.
5:23 No, you are not stuck in 1.5 . This is actually one of the things that annoy me in TSW (and before that in TSC), distances are straight line distances and not track distance (at least above a mile this seems to be the case). Normally, especially on UK and most German routes not really a problem as it generally is close to the real distance. But certain mountain routes in Germany and the USA where you "double back" a lot due to S curves, the distance goes down, up, down, up... highly annoying as you never have an idea of how far it actually is.
At 33:24, if the DRA is set whilst moving and the Driver is applying power using the power brake controller, no power will be applied to the train. Simply set the power brake controller back to the "0" position and reapply power.
Nice one, Jess. Great to relate a fantastic sim to a real life professional driver. Very entertaining and informative,; your route knowledge is fantastic
My son really loves Train Sim World 4 and he'd loved to actually go into train driving as a job. Many thanks to Dovetail Games for making such an accurate sim for fans of trains 👏👏👏❤👍
Now the true test for this channel would be to test a experienced train simulation player if they can operate the real thing on a test track (not in service of course).
Really enjoyed watching this, really interesting to hear from an actual driver. I've always wanted to work on the trains/railways but don't know how to get started
Good video that..👍🏼 as a signaller i play this game and still wish id made the move to s driver years ago, well done LNER 👏 please have a driver recruitment opportunity opportunity available soon 🙏
I’ve spent way too much time playing train sim world 3, 4 and soon 5! The LNER 801 class is a lot of fun! But deffo love seeing the old intercitys every now and then!
Loved this, as a bus driver it's great to show our technical ability and remind people we always look after you and are not just sat at the front end watching Netflix and playing on our phones
Any chance of getting the game on PC and maybe some peripherals (or simple mouse and keyboard) for another videos? For better graphics fidelity and less joystick/camera jumps - I know Jess didn't do it on purpose but it was slightly distracting :)
nice video, but i think it would be easier to use a computer with a mouse, so that as a driver you can click things a bit more naturally, idd struggle with what if i got to do the same thing with things i drive myself, i prefer mouse over xbox/ps controller
32:39 i think this is a mistake on tsws part, ive seen it on every ts since 2018. I always wonder why when the gradient shows a downwards motion, the train slows down🤷🏽♂️ It doesn’t always do it, but on some occasions down slows you down and up speeds you up..
Hi there , awesome game isn't it TSW4 . I play this route quit often , and I love the journey , its so relaxing as a driver .... iv learned some new stuff I never new about train life irl... thank you
Having played the previous stuttering train simulators and after reading all the negative reviews about TSW4, I was not expecting much to be honest. I had a play last night and my first experience was enjoyable even on my 10 year old potato pc. The major gripe seems to be the way the scenery loads, even on the latest PC's. I have always relied on a program called Dimmdrive to pre load routes and assets into RAM before playing which helped with the stutters a lot. I am hoping Dovetail are looking into this and will fix it soon. I also hope that they improve the steam experience and add some historic scenery. Great to hear the experiences of a real driver and I will stay tuned for more.
Make sure to check out part 2 with the safety systems active! ua-cam.com/video/f4PnEGcs64A/v-deo.html
The smile when she found the horn button knowing there are no repercussions from mashing it in-game is brilliant
To hear an actual driver explain things and differences is amazing. to hear her thought process and route knowledge helps tremendously
LNER is now a gaming channel
Who wouldn’t want to be a gaming channel? 🎮
I can’t complain
I would watch Lner gaming
...and we love it!
I have a crazy amount of time on TSW, can i now make the video "Can A Simulator Drive A Real Train"?
please make this a trend for all companies haha, can't wait for easyJet captain plays Microsoft flight simulator
Have a look at A320 sim pilot and A330 driver. Both are commercial airline pilots. Lewdix Gaming is a flight instructor who has flown commercially.
There are professional pilots already with UA-cam channels showcasing their skills….
I want to see real Canadian Pacific engineers drive the SearchlightSimulations CP AC4400CW Golden Beaver on TSC.
I'm looking forward to getting filmed playing bus driver sim 😅
Hmm.... Hitman playing Hitman?
This has to be one of the best videos I’ve watched on the whole of UA-cam recently. To hear such a knowledgeable and professional driver. She really added an extra detail and she clearly loves her job.
Thank you Chris, such lovely feedback! ^Charlene
12 minutes late into Peterborough? The realism is exceptional! 🤭
solid lol, thank you
@@TheHongKongHermit - de nada!
Thanks, Jess! It was a delight to have you try out Train Sim World 4 😍. Can't wait for Part 2!

It's dvt. Not gonna happen. There's a broken tutorial since tsw2 from a dlc that costs 30 dollars and it's still not fixed in tsw4.
I absolutely love her smiling! She’s really enjoying this it’s so sweet haha!
Nothing better to get a simulation game right than work with people actually doing the job and get as much feedback as you can. Really nice!
I'm not into train sims, but definitely enjoyed this - always good fun to see things explained clearly by a true professional!
Love this, it's so interesting to get an expert's point of view of the simulation's accuracy as well as driving tips!
Now does this mean I can drive tomorrow’s service from LCN-KGX? I have more hours played than I’m willing to admit
you can't
really!?!?!??!?!?!!?@@peaxn
You can, after you've obtained every required permit, which should only be a formality.
Technically, you can drive a car without a license if you know how to work with the vehicle.

Thank you, much appreciated!

Very professional but friendly driver. I hope we'll see more of her on the channel

That was my most favourite video of the month! Jess appears to be an amazing person and I would love to have her as my train driver. 🇩🇪❤🇬🇧
She is fab! Thank you for the kind words
Thank you to Jess for playing the game. I am still new and it felt good to watch her set up the cab and tell us how similar/dissimilar the game train is from the real thing.
A really interesting video. Thank you Jess and LNER. I look forward to Part 2.
I’m loving playing TSW4 this is the kind of content I like to see from the operator too
It’s great to see a train driver do videos like this. I appreciate the professional insight. Thanks Jess
Excellent Video! Learned a few things. Hopefully Part 2 has safety systems turned on. DTG have them isolated by default to help new players with no train driving knowledge. A bit of a nuisance for the rest of us but hopefully one day they will give us an option to change the default status.
To be honest I like to set everything up. It’s half the fun
@MrJimheeren Safety systems aren't isolated by default in real trains though. Setting up the AWS/TPWS is literally just a case of switching the desk in and cancelling the horn.
It's something I find a little bit annoying too, that there's no way to default to them being on.
@@dislecsyk991 yeah that would be a good option. It’s especially annoying in some German locos where you have to switch cabs to activate PZB and Sifa
You can turn on the safety systems if you find the switches.
On PC, Ctrl+Enter switches them all on, so it's no biggie - I agree with Dovetail Games policy of making it easier for inexperienced players.
So cool to see a person play a simulator of their real life job.

Love this from LNER!
Really nice to see her perspective and hats off to her and respect for what they do.
Very cool, thanks to Jess for the expertise and LNER for posting this!
No problem, I am a train driver and I love to play TSW.
Love the Part one!!!! I think Part 2 should be all safety systems
Great video well done LNER your the best
This was great. Jess really seems to know her stuff, and I'd feel very comfortable riding a train she was driving.

She needs to do the Comes in Threes Scenario where shes moving cows off the line dealing with power cuts 😂
Great hearing the route detail from Jess throughout the journey
Nice one, Jess. Great to relate a fantastic sim to a real life professional driver. Very entertaining and informative,; your route knowledge is fantastic
This is fascinating and strangely hypnotic and soothing 👏🏻👏🏻

Really enjoyed watching this, really interesting to hear from an actual driver.
I've always wanted to work on the trains/railways but don't know how to get started
Absolutely loved this more please ❤
Really interesting hearing a professional driver's take on both the train and the route.
Good video that..👍🏼 as a signaller i play this game and still wish id made the move to s driver years ago, well done LNER 👏 please have a driver recruitment opportunity opportunity available soon 🙏
This is what I love to see! Congrats Jess on the opportunity!
Jess is thinking to herself I already know all this have done for ages 😂😂
The white van going down the hill always makes me laugh
Went and purchased this game after watching this video. Its a lot of fun
I'm here for this, it's interesting perspective from actual operators
I’ve spent way too much time playing train sim world 3, 4 and soon 5! The LNER 801 class is a lot of fun! But deffo love seeing the old intercitys every now and then!
Great video! It's interesting hearing the feedback of people who do this IRL.
Brilliant video! Well done LNER. :)
The big question is tho is could an avid TSW player get a train going 😂. This was really interesting watching her play this brilliant.
This game is so amazing and so realistic. Very good graphics as well.
Loved this, as a bus driver it's great to show our technical ability and remind people we always look after you and are not just sat at the front end watching Netflix and playing on our phones
first one i played with on the game was the class 101 on the tees valley line. everything after that seemed easy.
How fascinating watching a real Train drive do the simulator. 😃👍
Cool vid. I look forward to watching the next part.
Great video always cool finding out what the pros think 😊
In game are seats double booked like my Doncaster to London seat was?
What about the AWS. It’s on the rear panel where she was looking next to the corridor
We’ll have all systems on in part 2!
Safety systems are always on, and sealed irl, so drivers don't look for them.
screaming through the screen 'the snow brake!!' when you kept losing traction towards peterborough. anyways i really enjoyed this. thank you.
Yip. It hasn't been implemented correctly, along with number of other things.
Any chance of getting the game on PC and maybe some peripherals (or simple mouse and keyboard) for another videos? For better graphics fidelity and less joystick/camera jumps - I know Jess didn't do it on purpose but it was slightly distracting :)
she dealt with the stick drift well.. dang controllers
9:10 Using a controller is obviously the biggest obstacle here. I would love to see the same thing using VR controllers.
As a new player to train simulators this was really educational 😊
Thank you Jess fantastic video, really enjoyed watching it, please can you do some more 👍
The fact that LNER now has an Xbox
I’m just gonna show people this video when they say why I love LNER so much
You need to try and get Ross Clark to try this. Also love the vids LNER 👍
I really wish this game would work with the turtle beach velocity one flight stick. It has all the levers it needs to make playing this game a joy.
nice video, but i think it would be easier to use a computer with a mouse, so that as a driver you can click things a bit more naturally, idd struggle with what if i got to do the same thing with things i drive myself, i prefer mouse over xbox/ps controller

It doesn’t always do it, but on some occasions down slows you down and up speeds you up..
Love the way that the driver is asking why shes losing power and the tsw representative is just ignoring the poor lady👀 #guilty
Apparently you could in theory coast a 390 from Tring all the way into Euston
The snow brake was on.
I wish they would fix the sharp line where the anisotropic filtering stops down the track, it's massively distracting.
Talk about being down with the kids! Genius marketing
Is there a feature which cancels the last train home and puts the passengers in an expensive taxi?
I love the class 801 so much ❤
Very interesting video and informative. Would be great if DTG would take on some of her feedback re train systems for better simulation

It’s super accurate too, down to the lateness. Of course this is only a joke! Loved the video really!!
Awesome! More of this please.
