Has anyone used this software? Is there any skill needed to use it?

I have used it, it takes a little to get it, but once you get the hang of driving the vehicle, it's a piece of cake.
I've just used the demo version. It was fairly easy to use and fun to watch the little vehicle "drive" around my drawing.
we use it - it is tricky when you're first learning it, but it comes in pretty handy.
Several employees use it at my company. I used myself many years ago. It is fairly easy to use. Most employees taught themselves how to use it.
I've used Autoturn also. It seemed pretty easy to use, but others at the office who use it kept saying that I was doing it wrong. As if there is some kind of learning curve ot manuever or something.
Are there any tips for its use for those that have used it?
I dont know the answer to that, everyone does it how they feel is comfortable, I prefer to use the generate arc tool and click my points for the vehicle to follow, but then again, I really havent used it for much other than a few roundabouts
I know I'm late, but here is what I do.
I create a pline in the direction I want to drive, then set that as my active path, then run the animation before I place the simulation. I find that easier to determine if a truck or car isn't going to get around a radius I have in there.
