Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator News

• [p]Coupler Failure: The coupler can now break if wagons are connected at excessive speeds.[/p]
• [p]Inspect Mode: Improved access to coupler component previews in inspect mode.[/p]
• [p]Sounds: Added sound effects for when a part reaches 0% durability and for jammed, broken levers.[/p]
• [p]Real Impact: Broken parts now have a tangible effect on comfort, performance, and safety.[/p]
• [p]Dynamic Physics: Depending on the broken part, the locomotive may tilt, bounce, sway, vibrate, or suffer from braking and pressure issues.[/p]
• [p]Scaling Difficulty: Problems intensify as more parts become damaged.[/p]
• [p]Speeding Penalties: Exceeding the speed limit at "Slow Down" signs can cause full damage to a random part.[/p]
• [p]Reconfigured a switch at Krasnoyarsk station to simplify maneuvers.[/p]
• [p]Fixed stuttering of locomotive driving sounds.[/p]

[p][/p][p][/p][h3]How does it work now? [/h3]

• [p]The more you exceed the speed limit at a "slow down" sign, the higher the chance that a random part of the locomotive’s undercarriage will be destroyed. [/p]
• [p]Ignoring "Turn off the electrical power" or "lower the pantographs" signs may result in the destruction of electrical parts.[/p]
• [p] Furthermore, levers wear out based on how often they are used.[/p]
• [p] Additionally, non-electrical parts wear out as the mileage increases.[/p]
• [p] Light bulbs wear out based on how long they remain switched on.[/p]
• [p]Coupler components can be damaged if wagons are coupled at excessive speeds; the higher the speed, the greater the damage. [/p]

• [p]Added the ability to interact with the locomotive while holding a flashlight in your hand.[/p]
• [p]Expanded Inspection Mode - you can take out the adjustable wrench and press “T” to view broken parts while you’re outside the locomotive cab. [/p]
• [p]Fixed unwanted text appearing on some parts of the locomotive.[/p]
• [p]Fixed outlines on NPCs from missions.[/p]

[h3]Added a control module that provides a simplified locomotive control mode.[/h3][p][/p][p]New players will receive it after completing the tutorial. Current players will find the module in the hangars.[/p][p][/p][p]You will be able to control the locomotive in simplified mode, which automates and shortens many control procedures. With this module:[/p][p][/p]

• [p]Starting up and shutting down the locomotive is done with a single button.[/p]
• [p]The air pressure in the braking system is regulated automatically - you don’t have to manually recharge the pressure after each braking with the wagons coupled.[/p]
• [p]After lowering the pantographs and raising them again, the engines reset automatically, without the need to manually initiate procedures.[/p]
• [p]At any time you can return to realistic control.[/p]

[p][/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h3]Additionally:[/h3]

• [p]Fixed several issues related to switching to the locomotive’s second section.[/p]
• [p]Fixed issues with air pressure sounds.[/p]
• [p]Added fan sounds.[/p]
• [p]Improved the appearance of inspection mode.[/p]
• [p]Fixed derailments occurring after exceeding the speed limit.[/p]
• [p]Significantly increased the speed at which cars can be coupled without consequences.[/p]
• [p]Reduced locomotive damage caused by disobeying signs.[/p]
• [p]Fixed a number of minor bugs[/p]

[p]Fellow players, the moment has come to be heard. Nominate Trans-Siberian Railway Simulator for the 2025 Steam Awards and help us win this battle at the ballot box.[/p][p]Your vote matters - your vote makes the difference.[/p][p]THANK YOU![/p][p][/p][h3]By the way, a new update is coming in early December.[/h3]
