[h2]Train Simulator Classic[/h2]

Thanks to all of you who have been providing feedback and taking part in the Train Simulator Classic Public Beta. Our latest build (77.1a), is still available to try out featuring performance updates and new tools for developers that show performance impact. You can find the full notes and link to join the Public Beta below.


[h2]New Arrival[/h2]

Just one new arrival in April, but an exciting addition to US rails. The Empire State Express No. 999 from Machine Rail came thundering onto the rails of Boston & Albany earlier this month. Today, NYC&HR No. 999 is lovingly preserved at the prestigious Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, but with this superb pack, fabulous NYC&HR No. 999 and the luxurious Empire State Express are again ready to “highball” in Train Simulator Classic. An essential purchase for steam fans.

[h2]DLC Updates[/h2]

There were two updates in April. First for the recent Tennessee Pass route from Milepost Simulations that included a selection of fixes as well as minor scenery and animation improvements. The second update was for U-Bahn Hamburg U1 from Just Trains. This makes the DT4 fully operable (previously AI only), and adds eight brand new scenarios to the German rapid transit route featuring the loco. Make sure you have automatic updates turned on to get these updates. Links to both store pages below.
