Description


Enter the virtual cab and experience a train driver’s operations at the highest level of realism possible. Zusi 3 Aerosoft Edition is a train simulation for PCs, the professional version of which is also being used in railway companies for engine driver training purposes. It features faithful track recreations, authentic driving and braking behaviour, prototypical signalling and timetables, as well as various variants of the train protection systems PZB and LZB.



Zusi 3 Aerosoft Edition is especially suited for ambitious hobby train drivers. Beginners can learn the strings of this topic thanks to various assistances – for example, beginners and advanced users can set the protection systems less strict for an easier learning curve.



In total, Zusi 3 comes with 10 routes from different eras, including the route Cologne–Düsseldorf that was developed for the Aerosoft Edition. This means more than 500 kilometres of track for you to explore.



Zusi 3 can also be extended to your liking. Choose from a wide range of additional routes, vehicles, timetables, and more; download them, and add them to the sim – or use the included editors to create your own expansions for Zusi and share them with the community.

  • Preview of every train with overview of timetable and vehicles
  • Vehicles controllable with keyboard and mouse or driver’s desk hardware
  • Assistance for beginners: adjustable level of realism
  • True-to-original driving and braking dynamics, incl. consideration of tilt and air and curve resistance
  • Simulation of various drive types and brake systems
  • Train protection systems rendered with all functions relevant to the train driver:
    - Indusi I54, I60, I60R, PZB60 (ÖBB), PZB90 1.5 und 2.0, PZ80, PR80R
    - LZB/I80 with and without PZB90, CIR-ELKE, LZB complete and divided block control
    - GNT/ZUB122 and 262 with tilting technique

As a simulator, the game is very good. It has carried out a very detailed simulation of the signal and safety system of Deutsche Bahn. Compared with the DTG game, it is really much better by having no BUGS at every

Single best Train Simulator on the market. Yes it's expensive and looks like it came from the XP era, it is really good in its simulation aspect. Despite its old looks it does have very modern rolling stock! Definitely

Deeply simulated systems and great realism. I'd call it the OMSI of rail simulation both in regards of graphics, but also in terms of system simulation. The quantity included content is also extremely large and there's

Impresionante simulador de tren basado en la señalización alemana (es el mejor con diferencia). Fidelidad total con la realidad. No es un juego: es un auténtico simulador. Sus gráficos pese a no ser como TSW y otros muy

The best of the Best, No required addons or tools ( to use joy-axis e.g. ) or anything like that. Perfect for training and reconstructing real world happenings in the DB infraGo area. Absolutely worth it!

This is the most realistic and in-depth simulator for German railways. Do not get put off by the simplistic graphics, as the simulation alone makes up for it all. Even still, I find the graphics to be adequate, as all
