Questions?? converting a pc controller for r/c trains

hi! im incredibly new to r/c. i know im a model train guy and really dont belong in the r/c world but i want to do something. im building a model railroad in my semi truck (over the road trucker) and i really dont want to have to clean the tracks and wheels so i thought about going r/c. now deadrail (as its called) has been gaining popularity over the last few years but the stuff i see isnt quite what im looking for so i thought id make my own controller and stuff. i do have this raildriver pc controller for train simulators (cuz im new here it wont let me post the pic. google it). i thought since it basically already has the commands to move a train in the virtual world is it possible to convert those digital signals into radio signals to move trains in the real world? even if i cant get the commands to transmit is it possible to still convert this thing into a radio controller? if i have to do the latter, how would i program it to do what i want? is there a specific program software that does that?
