Today is a very important day!
The long-awaited update has just arrived at the final station.
We would like to officially welcome Koleje Śląskie and Cargo Unit railway carriers, whose vehicles can be found in the game, on board SimRail.
We have done a lot of work in recent months, the most important new things include: EMU EN57 & EN71, graphics engine update, new livery and cabins for existing rolling stock, multiple EMU connections, new weather system, seasonal support, new signal boxes, new vegetation models, improved anti-aliasing and much more.
We highly recommend completing the EN57 tutorial before driving yourself to understand the vehicle's operating mechanisms.
Full list of changes below.
THERE MAY BE TEMPORARY PROBLEMS WITH ONLINE PLAY DUE TO SERVER UPDATES
Enjoy!
