It is always good to hear from our customers, including your opinions on the best simulations across all our series and any other views on our software.

Please get in touch with us at info@pcrail.co.uk.

First thing to check if there is a problem

If you come across any problems, the first thing to check is whether you are using both the latest version of PC-Rail Plus and of the particular simulation. Using older versions is the most common cause of errors.

You can check if you have the latest versions by clicking "Check for Updates" in the Help menu while running any simulation.

Speaking of Help...

There is a lot of help available in each simulation that you can access via the dropdown menu at the top under 'Help". Alternatively, to get to the help menu you can click on the '?' button or press the F1 key..

You can check if you have the latest versions by clicking "Check for Updates" in the Help menu while running any simulation.

User Support

If you haven't already joined our User Group you are very welcome. Membership is free.

This group supports users of PC-Rail by providing a forum to exchange information, ask and answer questions and offer advice to fellow PC-Rail users. You will also find lots of useful information and resources, including layout diagrams for most of our simulations.

You will find answers to many queries in the User Support pages of our website. In particular, please see the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page.  

Timetables

Russ Ashmore has lots of additional timetables available for purchase on his PC-Rail Services website. He is always happy to add to his range, so if you have produced your own timetable for any of our simulations and would like to share these with other users, please let Russ know.

 

With Best Wishes,
