Signalling Centre Fulda (FFU)

Signalling Centre Fulda

You MUST have a working internet connection to be able to use this simulation!

Because this simulation is very complex and is part of a larger platform in development, we would like to keep intensive contact with our customers and offer each user the latest version available. It is therefore that registration and use of the license key is obligatory.

The Signalling Centre Fulda is a very large panel and contains many new options and functions. It is a Sp Dr S 600 type of panel with complex operations and the use of a control monitor, just like the real thing! Fulda is in the centre of the North-South High Speed Line with ICE trains running up to 280 km/h! Due to the centre point of the station, there are many freight trains that need relief drivers. It's up to you to plan where they must relieve each other so that they don't block your traffic! Lots of challenges there!

System Requirements :
Minimal :

- Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8, 32 or 64 bit
- 2GB RAM memory
- 500MB space free on hard disk
- Sound Card
- 2.0 GHz processor

Advisable:

The simulation CAN run on older computers, though we encourage to have

- 2 GB RAM Memory
- 3 GHz multi-core CPU

Monitors

The simulation can run on a monitor with 1024x768 resolution. Though we strongly encourage higher resolutions for a better simulation experience. For optimal results, you might consider having a wide screen monitor. Ideally you would have more than one monitor available.


Microsoft .Net Frame work

The simulation uses the Microsoft .NET Framework. If this is not available, it will be installed upon installation of the application.
