  • Correction of whistle behavior
    Fixed an event in which the "whistle (1st stage)" would continue to sound even if the Enter key was not pressed.

    In the setting screen from the pause menu during operation, the phenomenon in which the OP movie is played when a specific button is pressed has been corrected.

    Fixed a problem in which defaults did not work in the settings screen from the Pause menu (only when operating a controller).

    【Narita Line and Kashima Line DLC】
  • Corrected an error in the content of in-train broadcasts.
    The part of the Narita Line 450M that incorrectly broadcasted "to Narita" when "to Chiba" was legitimate has been corrected.

    The timing of in-train announcements regarding the waiting for oncoming trains on the 450M Narita Line at Shimousa-Kanzaki Station has been corrected.
  • Correction of speed limit
    Fixed a phenomenon in which the maximum speed was displayed lower between Katori and Sawara on the Narita Line only for trains coming in from the Kashima Line.

    【Koumi Line DLC】
  • Correction of signal indications
    The current indication of the far signal at Mitsuoka Station has been corrected from "proceeding" to "decelerating".

    【Sobu Line (Rapid) DLC】

    The phenomenon in which the speed brake, which does not work as it should, was activated has been corrected.

    【Saikyo Line, Kawagoe Line DLC】

    Corrected the position of the start of the downhill grade when entering Omiya Station.

Please note that we will not be broadcasting live on YouTube this month, but the update itself is scheduled for this month as well, so please look forward to the announcement from tomorrow onward.
In July, we plan to introduce the June and July updates and provide hints for the next distribution route. Please look forward to it!


It will take some time to distribute the new lines, but we are working hard to further evolve the “JR EAST Train Simulator”.
