Traimsim Console No More Mouse Needed - Start of Shift Playthrough

An update has quickly come out for XBox that resolves the need to use a mouse to interact with the world. So lets give it a go, I've unplugged the squeaker and off we go with the Start of Shift scenario. Apart from testing the lack of moose we will see how to start up a tram, make it say Happy Birthday, how to change points and how to set the route and destination then we'll drive for a bit until my dinner turns up.

I would like to buy the game but I need to know something for certain which is not negotiable for me. Do all routes have a nighttime shift?

I had a look and made a video to show you the options available - it will come out in about an hour from now kzbin.info/www/bejne/il6bqHV_lrNgZ5I at 0945 AEST when it finishes processing.

TSD what upppppppppp??? After watching numerous videos I decided not to get this game.. It is wayyyy to confusing for me. I'll stick to driving the trains in TSW3.. LOL

Who would have thought? Common sense tells me that it should be the other way around.

No worries mate. There is a bit to learn, but probably not more than getting a new route or two in TSW. The console version is a lot easier to play than the PC version. Controller makes a huge difference and I hope this same control scheme makes it into the PC version too.

Trams are a lot easier to drive IRL than trains, but the reality is a tram is a train - the same pitfalls are there. With trams you add the bonus fools in cars and pedestrians with head phones on. One takes off the paint, the other just needs a hose.
