Help:Start

Clicking on Start will launch the Trainz game and take you to the Main Menu. Loading the game may take a minute or two. The Launcher window will close, and a new window (or full screen view) will open.

You can adjust the size of the display area (windowed or fullscreen) and/or screen resolution in Help: Options.

If you do not see the Main Menu, check your TaskBar for a Trainz icon, and click on that icon.

To confirm that Trainz is running, open Windows Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) and you will see the Trainz.exe and TADDaemon.exe proceses running.

If you cannot get to the Main Menu screen, it is possible that your video card, video cards drivers or other hardware is incompatible or requires updating.
