Tram Simulator Düsseldorf Out Now!

It seems there is finally a dedicated tram simulator I'm surprised this didn't happen a while ago. Tram Simulator Düsseldorf  shows a lot of potential.

 The game is based on the U78 line in Düsseldorf operated by Rheinbahn. Focused on creating a realistic depiction of B80D vehicle. The game has most of the features you'd expect in a tram simulator including control of the doors, headlights mirrors etc. The U78 (the route included) take roughly 50 minutes to drive both above and below ground. Although most of the underground stations look very similar.

 The most interesting feature in my opinion though is the inclusion of a map editor. Currently you can not  put custom models in the simulator. However when asked Tony CEO Little Red Studuios  (exclusive to this blog) said: " The released version you cannot add custom objects or trains, this feature will come online with an editor update." I  asked about whether people will be able to release their creations commercially he replied: "Yes, we have plans to allow third parties to create content and integrate with the product. This will be enabled through an editor update." This would  open up the possibility of plenty of third party add-ons. Perhaps even one day a UK route like Manchester Metrolink or Blackpool.

Regarding official DLC Tony confirmed that they will be creating DLC  " ...with plans to add additional routes and increase the variety of passengers and vehicles" He went on to say "We are continually upgrading the current product increasing the complexity and accuracy of the environment and tram. You will occasionally be able to download these upgrades capturing any new features we add the overall franchise."


As you may have notices the graphics are not very good at all however it does one advantage over Railworks passengers actually board the Tram and sit down!













Tram Simulator Düsseldorf  is created by Little Red Studuios and published by Rondomedia. It is rated PEGI 3 and is not currently available in the UK although you can still purchase it online.

Thanks to Tony from Little Red Studios for taking the time to answer our questions.
