''SimSig'' is a mixed donationware〔 〕 and commercial Windows-based train simulator of modern railway signalling systems in Great Britain, from the point of view of a railway signaller.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= SimSig )〕 Users have also had success running SimSig on Linux using Wine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WineHQ — SimSig 2.103 )〕 The program was written in Delphi 6, a dialect of Object Pascal, by Geoff Mayo and has been in development since the late 1990s. Visually, it resembles the British Rail Integrated Electronic Control Centre (IECC), though most of the simulations do not cover areas operated by IECC-based signal boxes. It simulates overlaps, approach locking, time-of-operation point locking, shunt routes, warner routes,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Code of Practice GK/RC 0721; Section 1.4.2.3 Main or Warner Class Route Selection )〕 call-on routes, and more. Railtrack asked for a "professional" version of SimSig, now known as TREsim, which is currently used to train signallers at every Network Rail IECC and several panel signal boxes around Great Britain.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Strainstall Acquires The Railway Engineering Company )〕 == Gameplay == Train motion is simulated according to train type and loading,〔 〕 and is controlled via the use of timetables. With a keyboard and mouse, the player sets routes and operates level crossings as necessary as well as simulations/timetable specific tasks such as operating ground frames. Solid State Interlockings (SSIs), the main electronic technology in use at present on British railways, along with approach locking, swinging overlaps, shunt routes, warner routes and call-on routes are all available.〔 The simulations may be played in real time or sped up. The aim of play is to achieve a good score by overcoming problems and ensuring on-time train running. Points are accumulated for good operation and deducted for errors or late running. Sounds can be enabled for phone messages, warnings, failures, and Train Ready To Start indicators. Automatic Route Setting, Automatic Headcode Insertion〔 and token systems for single line working〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Rulebook Section TW1 Subsection 32 - Single lines worked with a token )〕 are functional in some of the available simulations. Most simulations have various levels of difficulty, ranging from beginner to difficult scenarios〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Signalling Simulations )〕 with engineering possessions of tracks; train delays; bad weather; or points, signal and track circuit failures. Although produced by railway software engineers to ensure a high degree of realism,〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sundry Strategy Titles )〕〔 〕 the simulations are usable by those without any in-depth or professional knowledge of signalling systems. Most simulations can be joined over the Internet to share the workload. Some simulations can be linked to form a chain of signal boxes for extended operation. A total of 40 simulations are currently available covering England, Wales and Scotland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Simulations Manuals )〕 Beta versions are no longer publicly available. Many of the older simulations are based on the real life IECC screen layout with multiple pages or ''panels'' to display different parts of the simulation whereas the newer simulations have one scrollable panel which covers the entire simulation. As of July 2013, a new method of installing, running and updating compatible simulations, the ''SimSig Loader'', was introduced. This new technology allows for the opening and updating of ''most'' recent simulations via a single program as opposed to the individual .exe files of previous simulations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SimSig」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
