Next route to be distributed
Thank you for playing JR EAST Train Simulator!
We hope you are all enjoying the Yamanote Line DLC that was released on July 25.
Some of you have said, "I can't get enough of the immoral feeling of being stopped at 0cm stops by using the TASC brake!" and "I can enjoy driving while listening to the in-train announcements! We are encouraged by all of the positive feedback and your candid reviews.
The following is our response to the issue you have reported.
"When playing certain DLC, unrelated audio is played overlaid."
⇒On the route selection screen, when you select a route for which you have not yet purchased DLC, you are automatically taken to the DLC purchase page, where a sample video is automatically played, causing unrelated audio to be played overlaid in the background.
If you hear overlapping audio, please make sure that the video is not playing in another browser.
Thank you very much again for the many reviews.
Now, we would like to inform you of the next distribution schedule, which you have all been waiting for.

[h4]The next DLC will be Joban Line, the first long-distance line in a long time! [/h4]
[h3]
The Joban Line runs from Ueno Station in Taito-ku, Tokyo, to Sendai Station in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, via Chiba, Ibaraki, and Fukushima prefectures, and is the longest line among JR lines not named "Main Line.
Until now, the Joban Line has operated to and from Ueno Station, but on March 14, 2015, the Ueno Tokyo Line began service, with some trains now running between Shinagawa and Ueno.
This DLC includes the Ueno Tokyo Line between Shinagawa Station and Ueno Station and the Joban Line between Ueno Station and Katsuta Station.
The line is characterized by the change of electrification system along the way, and there is a DC/AC switchover (dead section) between Toride and Fujishiro stations.
(Shinagawa Station to Toride Station: 1500V DC, Fujishiro Station to Sendai Station: 20,000V AC)
Another major feature of this line is that it can operate at 130 km/h, the highest speed on a conventional JR line.
The first half of the line shows a significant change in scenery along the line from an office area in central Tokyo to a bed town. The second half of the line features the peaceful green landscape of Ibaraki Prefecture.
The long-distance route, which takes about two hours, allows passengers to enjoy driving while viewing the changing scenery along the route.
We are working hard on the production so that we can inform you of the production status as soon as possible. Please look forward to further updates!
