Welcome to the Train Simulator NEXT documentation for developers!

The new platform for professional virtual train simulation is Train Simulator NEXT.

Learn how to use the Editors and Tools as a developer and get in touch with their abilities.

What to expect?

The purpose of this documentation is to achieve the following objectives:

1. We remove barriers for current developers to migrate to Train Simulator NEXT.
2. We support developers to gain great quality and performance levels with shorter development times.
3. We teach new developers how to do things the right way and involve them step by step into the new platform.
4. We make developers familiar with all the possibilities and important information about the platform.
5. As it can be expected in today's professional applications, all the documentation is in an open manner.

Please notify us if the documentation can improved to be a a good manual. We have a good place to give us feedback.
