It does not compare to Flightsims, for example, but you still need to pay attention to some things, speed limitis, signals, etc. If all aids are shut off, you drive by route book and track distance markers to learn your speed limits. And then to keep your timing and start braking right in time so that the train matches the station's length nicely for passengers to use ALL doors and not just the last three of them
needs concentration.
So, speak friendly of Train Simulator. Life already is tough enough!
