Network Simulator, LFA and/or
RAILSIM Editor
A more powerful
system is required to operate RAILSIM when it includes any one or
more of the remaining RAILSIM modules (Network Simulator and LFA in
particular). While a more powerful system is not necessarily required
for a Base License + RAILSIM Editor package, it is highly recommended,
particularly for modeling larger rail networks.

*Note that Windows 2000 and Windows XP
are equipped with OpenGL emulation. RAILSIM's graphics-intensive
applications will run on a system equipped with only this, but very
slowly. A graphics card equipped with full OpenGL acceleration will
provide the optimum RAILSIM experience.
