Posted on DC and Facebook: Recently, we have prepared for you about 30 km of new tracks allowing for alternative routes for freight trains. The upcoming update will also bring a significant increase in performance, especially on large stations. We have one more surprise, but about it in the next message. New route sections: -Dąbrowa Górnicza Wschodnia - Kozioł - Przemiarki - Łazy -Dorota - Dąbrowa Górnicza Południowa - Huta Katowice - Dąbrowa Górnicza Ząbkowice -Dąbrowa Górnicza Strzemieszyce - Huta Katowice.
Performance is one of the things in which Simrail already is better than TSW3. Can't wait for further improvements!
"This is Warszawa Wschodnia station. A passenger train operated by Koleje Mazowieckie will arrive track 21 at platform 7". You will soon be able to hear such a message in SimRail, and all this by establishing an official partnership with Koleje Mazowieckie company, whom we warmly welcome among the Patrons of our project. Thanks to cooperation, you will meet in the game your favorite Mazovian trains with a characteristic yellow sun, e.g. EN76 or EN57 units, including the oldest active KM vehicle with the number 038, i.e. the so-called "Grandma"! Our plans do not end there. So keep an eye on our profile. We will tell you that in the next update the first logos of the Company will appear on the vehicles already available in the game.
There's no denying it is looking good and the devs are pouring their heart and soul into it. However for me it still remains a disconnect until they fundamentally enhance the single player game and add a save/resume function (checkpoint based or otherwise).
Most of the time. There's still the issue of certain switches being turned off like on American freight runs in my experience.
99.9% of the time. The only situation it falls down is if you are chaining more than one run, reload a save and subsequent trains fail to load in the objective data or markers. However I would take a slightly subpar save function over none at all. Like a few others I still feel slightly miffed in all the run up to SimRail release the developers strung us along re the single player game (and having a save function) then on release one barely existed and the other not at all. Currently uninstalled here.
important news is the addition of a new, alternative route for freight trains: Łazy ŁC - Przemiarki - Kozioł - Dąbrowa Górnicza Wschodnia. You can meet there in multiplayer mode trains with numbers: 412050-412098, 442001-442049. The third big change is a significant improvement in game performance, especially on computers with weaker processors. Finally, we put at your disposal two new signal boxes - Juliusz in Sosnowiec (domino panel) and Szeligi (computer devices). patch notes 17.04 MULTIPLAYER: multiplayer improvements for slow HDD drives multiplayer time is now displayed correctly STOCK: EN76 "Koleje Mazowieckie" operator logo added ET25 emergency brake fixed sander and light dimmer keybinds added SCENERY: Łazy ŁC - Przemiarki - Dąbrowa Górnicza Wschodnia line introduced, train numbers using this route: 412050-412098, 442001-442049 platform shader fixes - no more noise on the platform sides scenery fixes at Korytów, Huta Katowice, Sosnowiec Kazimierz, Dorota, Olszamowice, Gajówka, Łazy, Katowice lighting and shadow improvements at dusk and dawn DISPATCHER MODE: two new signal boxes added - Juliusz (domino panel) and Szeligi (computer equipment) POZOSTAŁE: performance and stability optimalisations, combining numerous meshes together should result in smoother play diagnostic data question box only shows once per game start, if the settings file is set as read only bug causing road and signal textures to change colors fixed cars should not be parked on top of each other lag when loading map tiles reduced
Intersting to know that on TSW3 the save function works. I've tested on every version of TSW and it never worked properly. Personally I don't even see the point of a save function in TSW3 given that routes are pretty short, but that's another story.
What type of Freight car it is? For DTG it needs to be on Deutsche Bahn paint colours and in real life this is seen on Güterbahnhof Frankfurt am Oder Horka Bahnstrecke Roßlau Hoyerswerda Horka Kohlfurt Berlin Stettin and Dresden Görlitz Görlitz Moys Breslau because these German routes cross the Oder Neisse line
Thank you for telling me looks like it's related to what we have UACNS Cement from Bahnstrecke Hagen Finnentrop Siegen Ruhr Sieg Nord.
The elephant in the room is the public editor, which is noticeable by its absence on the "in development" and "in queue" lists, yet for which there is still a large icon on the home screen. Is this going to be another TSW-style own goal? As OldVern says, the lack of a save means the relatively long runs are mostly never finished, which is a shame.
" The scenery editor will be available in the full version of the game. Early Access allows you to play on what is available, but also unfinished. Published Tuesday at 5:46 pm"
I liked the prologue a lot, but what keeps me from buying it is the extremely long play time for a single service and the lack of game save. I have seen the comments on abuse for the multiplayer game, which is similar to the problems some players have with Railroads Online. Some persons seem to like it to spoil the gameplay in all kinds of destructive actions. For driving trains I do not see much use for multiplayer.
yes, 'anarchy' servers usually end up like this and not having a working 'save game' is a PITA this and a feeling the simulation isn't particularly ready yet have prevented me from buying it, the Prologue I have already deleted Unless you can set up your own 'hierarchical' server to play with friends, or some dispatcher moderates the servers and boots reported malfeasants? This probably requires some sort of registration or even subscription model, which needs staff and therefor costs money
Nothing common with the problems some players have with Railroads Online. I play Sim Rail ntwice a week forl long routes and never come up with any abuse in MP.
On Twitter it was confirmed that the first 3 DLC will be German, American, Austrian. And reaching $1million (I don't know exactly what that means but it could be some kind of income)
Katowice main station signal box will be available in the next update.In fact, after MP I can not play SP at all
This photo actually made me chuckle - DTG would charge $29 for each one, even though mechanically, they are exactly the same.
The second locomotive seems to be the one on the poster inside the training center and Tharandter Rampe. On Rhein Main Verkehrsverbund Niddertalbahn the locomotive DB Baureihe 052 writings says Bahnbetriebswerk BW Rheine Bundesbahndirektion Köln/Bremen even though the actual jurisdiction Niddertalbahn Bundesbahndirektion Frankfurt am Main
One of the new functionalities are signs informing, for example, about the closure of the track on the domino panel.
cool, a Domino panel I don't completely understand, will this be a non-functional display at first, allowing you to visit the signal box and watch the trains go by, both from the windows and on the Domino? will it be made functional later, with a real dispatcher/signal man in the box? functional in 3D, or in a 2D panel able to run on a second monitor or better even on a second computer in the 'dispatcher's office'?

All this looks really promising, wow! Does somebody know how this endeavor is funded? I mean you´ll need a decent devops infrastructure and quite some financial breath, no?
It does look interesting although I am interested to see what the future routes might be. From what I can gather though single player mode does not have a timetable mode like TSW just scenarios? If it was to have a timetable mode in the future which didn't mean you had to play multiplayer then I would take a harder look at it.
Looks like another route set in the former German territory of Silesia. Bytom is spelt as Beuthen in the German Language. Reason for it is that German-speakers cannot say the Polish city name that's why they end up using the German name for a Polish town like Bytom. Pretty much the entire country of Poland under German and Austrian parts. A route in Krakow will be spelt as Krakau since its a major starion on the Austrian Galizien Carl Ludwig Bahn
