[h3]About the Lines[/h3]
The Keihin-Tohoku and Negishi Lines are major lines in the Tokyo metropolitan area connecting Omiya Station in Saitama Prefecture and Ofuna Station in Kanagawa Prefecture.
D-ATC (Digital ATC) is implemented as the safety device, and the speedometer at hand can be used to determine the allowable speed.
Between Tabata and Tamachi stations, the line runs parallel to the Yamanote Line, and the Keihin Tohoku Line operates as a rapid train in this section during the daytime.
(*This data is recorded before the opening of Takanawa Gateway Station.)

[h3]The following features will be added and fixed in conjunction with the update[/h3]

• Implementation of a lag in reflecting the status of the TIMS screen when doors are opened and closed
  
• Implementation of a pictogram of the broadcast microphone on the Oito Line in the route selection screen
  (to make it easier to understand that the in-train announcement function is implemented)
  
• Fixed a bug that caused the settings screen to be initialized.
  

Please look forward to the update date!

Thank you for playing JR East Train Simulator.

This time we have a big surprise for you all!

We have just released JR East train simulators for the Tokaido Line, Chuo Line Rapid Service, Oito Line, Saikyo Line and Kawagoe Line, but this time we have decided to go beyond the boundaries of our company and start working on other companies' lines for the first time.

[h4]The line is JR Hokkaido's Rumoi Main Line, a section of which (Ishikari-Numada Station to Rumoi Station) was regrettably discontinued on April 1, 2023.[/h4]

With the full cooperation of JR Hokkaido, we were able to record simulator footage of the Ishikari-Numada Station-Rumoi Station section of the line by using a dedicated train for filming just prior to the discontinuation of the line.

The simulator was created with JR Hokkaido's wish that the Rumoi Main Line will remain in everyone's memories forever.

[h3]About the release plan[/h3]

Route: JR Hokkaido Rumoi Main Line Down: Fukagawa → Rumoi
Train: Kiha 54 type
Amount: Undecided
Release date: Late March 2024

*Please note that this is a current plan and the content and release date may change in the future.

[h3]Production work will begin soon.

Please look forward to its completion![/h3]

Thank you for playing JR East Train Simulator!

We hope you are all enjoying the Oito Line onboard broadcasting and the maximum speed and limit warning display functions that were updated on March 30.
Thank you very much for all the positive feedback on the update, such as "the realism has increased" and "driving has become easier", as well as for your suggestions for specific improvements. We will continue to make improvements in response to your feedback.

Now, we would like to inform you of the next delivery route that you have been waiting for.

[h4]We are planning to distribute the "Keihin-Tohoku/Negishi Line" next time, which has been requested by many of you![/h4]
[h4]

• Section： Southbound Omiya Station → Ofuna Station
  　(The video was taken before the opening of Takanawa Gateway Station.)
  
• Model： Series E233-1000
  
• Release date： Scheduled for late April 2023
  

[/h4]

[h4]In addition, we plan to add the entire Keihin-Tohoku/Negishi Line section (southbound Omiya Station to Ofuna Station) in the form of a free update to the basic pack, rather than releasing it as DLC in the next release.[/h4]
We hope that more people will be satisfied with JR East Train Simulator through the enhancement of the basic pack.

Please look forward to the release of the Keihin-Tohoku and Negishi lines, which will allow you to enjoy longer distances than when the Early Access version was released!



Thank you for your continued support of JR East Train Simulator!
