The smile when she found the horn button knowing there are no repercussions from mashing it in-game is brilliant

[King-Kaye-Games]

To hear an actual driver explain things and differences is amazing. to hear her thought process and route knowledge helps tremendously

[holdingpointaviation]

please make this a trend for all companies haha, can't wait for easyJet captain plays Microsoft flight simulator

This has to be one of the best videos I’ve watched on the whole of YouTube recently. To hear such a knowledgeable and professional driver. She really added an extra detail and she clearly loves her job.

12 minutes late into Peterborough? The realism is exceptional! 🤭

I am a retired driver and have been using train simulation from BVE in the 90's to OpenBVE, Trainsimulator and now Train Sim World 4 and have always enjoyed them and experiencing the technical progress that has gone with them.

Thanks, Jess! It was a delight to have you try out Train Sim World 4 😍. Can't wait for Part 2!

[LazyGamerScotland]

I absolutely love her smiling! She’s really enjoying this it’s so sweet haha!

I hope Dovetail actually take her feedback on board and correct the things that are wrong with the setup of the train to make it even more realistic. It is nice to get an insight to an actual driver on a HST.

Nothing better to get a simulation game right than work with people actually doing the job and get as much feedback as you can. Really nice!

[ImWheelspin]

Now does this mean I can drive tomorrow’s service from LCN-KGX? I have more hours played than I’m willing to admit

[claudevieaul]

I'm not into train sims, but definitely enjoyed this - always good fun to see things explained clearly by a true professional!

[zincfive]

This is really cool. Seeing her complete concentration and awareness on a sim gives me confidence that drivers on real trains are seriously paying attention! Normal gamers would be wuffing down a vegan poke bowl, texting and petting the cat while they drive, putting all the virtual passengers at risk!

[stevewausa]

Love this, it's so interesting to get an expert's point of view of the simulation's accuracy as well as driving tips!

Waiting for "Can a Train Sim World 4 player drive a Real Train?"

[Overlycomplicatedswede]

Her knowledge of her trains and layout of her nation is absolutely incredible.

she knows every little detail and can explain it in a way everyone can understand.

Love from Sweden

[luigiluigi]

Jess is brilliant!! I'd feel safe on their train.

[thefallenwillriseagain]

Would love to see more content like this from Jess, it feels like a real privilege to see what goes into train driving that so many of us take for granted.
