Why Train Sim World 7 can trigger motion sickness
In the cab, the camera moves to show what the train is doing. Dovetail's settings guide says Camera Motion Sway makes the camera move with the physical effects on the train, and it tells players to disable it to reduce feelings of motion sickness. Motion blur is applied to camera movement and fast-moving objects. Dovetail also says a wider field of view can reduce feelings of motion sickness. Each of these is a setting you can change.
- Camera Motion Sway: the camera moves with the physical effects on the train
- Motion blur on camera movement and fast-moving objects
- A narrow first-person field of view, which Dovetail says a wider view can ease

Frequently asked questions
Does Train Sim World 7 have a motion sickness setting?
Camera Motion Sway is the closest. Dovetail's settings guide says to disable it to reduce feelings of motion sickness. It sits in the HUD & Gameplay settings, next to a Camera Motion Sway Level slider from 0 to 200%. There is also a Motion Blur toggle and a field of view slider.
What is the field of view range in Train Sim World 7?
The Advanced Settings list a Field of View option from 60 to 120, which sets how wide or narrow your view is in first person. Dovetail's graphics guide says a wider view can reduce feelings of motion sickness. The sources opened do not give a default value.
What happens if I turn off Camera Motion Sway?
The camera stops moving with the train. Dovetail notes that the option is required to see the effects of the Improved Suspension model from the cab, so you lose that suspension movement in the cab view.
