== Pausing the Simulation ==
== Pausing the Simulation ==
Using the pause button (or the p key) the simulation can be paused. In this mode, nothing can be modified - routes cannot be altered, points cannot be switched, and level crossings can't be changed. However, details of trains can still be viewed. This mode is useful if a short break is needed, or if the simulation is starting to get busier and time is needed to plan ahead.
During pause mode, the simulation speed ''can'' be changed, unlike while the simulation is running. This can be useful to slow the simulation down during busy peak periods, and speed it up when fewer trains are present.
== Saving a Session ==
== Saving a Session ==
To save the session, use the red floppy disc icon (or Ctrl+S). This will save the simulation at the current point in time, with all routes, point positions, level crossing states, train locations etc.
The session can then be reloaded using the "''Load Session''" option under "''File''".
== External Performance Log ==
== External Performance Log ==
When a session is saved, an external performance log is created. This can be found in the "''Performance Logs''" subfolder of the ROS installation.
