Trainz: A New Era Coming 27 February 2015!

Today it was announced that Trainz: A New Era will be releasing on 27 February 2015 for PC and Mac. The following feature were highlighted in the press release:

• New graphics engine with full world shadows and per-pixel lighting
• Real-time physics feedback and editing tools
• Procedural animated spline junctions
• Realistic cab sway and external train motion
• Configurable control schemes
• Multi-window support
• Multiplayer
• In-game downloadable content system for both payware and freeware options
• Access to over 250,000 free DLC items via The Download Station

Not much new there, also a video was posted today (below) which annoyingly seems to have a focus on graphics also not much new for people who have been following the development, but definatley worth watching multi-core processor support has been confirmed which will a huge advantage over Dovetail but probably not enough to get a reasonable market share here in the UK.

New T:ANE Screenshots!

Today NV3 Games have released new screenshots from their next generation Train Simulator: Trainz: A New Era which can be viewed below. None of the screenshots show anything from the UK so far.

The graphics are a little disappointing in my opinion they are still very recognizable as Trainz rather than closer to reality, the terrain looks too rounded and the track gauge looks a little narrow. Of-course it's simulation not graphics that counts though and we can't see that from some screenshots!
More information can be found on The Kickstarter Page.

Class 456 and 375 Included In South London Network With 378 Available Separately

Today Dovetail Games have announced on their RailSimulator.com Facebook page  that the recently announced South London Network DLC will come with both a Class 456 and a Class 375, with a Class 378 available as a twin pack. This is despite the fact that in reality 456s have moved to South West Trains and no longer run down any of the line in the add-on, however its appear to be modeled as it currently is with London Overground branding (see picture below). Presumably this because the route will include London Victoria while now 378s only run as far as Clapham Junction. 

The route will include the main line from Victoria to East Croydon forming the western boundary, while the line from London Bridge south to West Croydon crosses at Selhurst and forms the eastern boundary. Both lines join at Selhurst into he Brighton Main Line. Two roughly concentric semi-circles link the two lines further into the city, the 9-mile inner circle (via Denmark Hill) and 16-mile outer circle (via Crystal Palace).

South London Network Coming Soon To Train Simulator 2015!

A new route for Train Simulator 2015 entitled South London Network  has been announced by Dovetail Games on their RailSimulator.com Facebook Account with no more information other the two screenshots below.

Above: This screenshot appears to be of London Bridge and show Southeastern  Class 375s as being included as being included in the DLC the tall building on the right is very obviously The Shard.

This Screenshots appears to show West Croydon which is managed by Southern and not ordinarily served by Southeastern meaning that there is likely to to be other stock included in this route.

BR 9F Coming Soon To Train Simulator 2015!

The BR 9F has been announced on Dovetail Game's RailSimulator.com Facebook page. Good to see a steam loco in my opinion as almost all DLC nowadays is modern trains.

Please note from now on we will not be covering all new world of Subways 4 screenshots  to stay up to date on all WOS4 screenshots check tml-edition.com/  We will continue to cover any major news on World of Subways 4.
Tml-Studios have just released the new screenhots promised for today showingMets - Willets Point / 111 St / 103 St / Junction Boulevard stations with the information pasted below.


Mets - Willets Point
This is an overground station that is unique with its layout in the New York subway network. Three platforms with three tracks have the following layout: side platform, south bound local track, bidirectional express track, island platform, north bound local track, side platform (only used during game days). Passengers are able to change for bus service or the LIRR.



111th Street
This overground station is only served by local trains that stop at the side platforms. Between the two local tracks are another two tracks leading to the "Corona Yard", the home of the 7 line trains. The express trains "fly" over the other four tracks. Check out the pictures to see what exactly is meant. ;-) Passengers are able to change for bus service.



 103rd Street - Corona Plaza
This overground station is only served by local trains that stop at the side platforms. The express trains rush by on the center track. The station was opened in 1917 and was previously called "Alburtis Avenue". Passengers are able to change for bus service.




Junction Boulevard
This is an overground station with two platforms and three tracks. The local trains stop at the outer tracks and the express trains on the inner track. There's not much more to say about this station, except that it was previously called "Junction Avenue" until 1940. Passengers are able to change for bus service.

Train Simulator 2016 *Not* To Use Unreal engine

An apparent member of Dovetail Games staff has said in post on Reddit that internally they are not targeting having the Unreal Engine version of Train Simulator ready in late 2015. Under the name 'Whiterider1' they added that it is possible though if most things are finished on time or early. They also said that Dovetail Games are likely to include backwards compatibility with older versions of Railworks and that one of the main things they were working on is getting the software to able to run on more PCs through optimization hopefully meaning that it will finally include multi-core processor support. Despite this I would still say that backwards that backwards compatibility (while more likely) still seems unlikely with it most likely being sold as separate software through Steam.

As well as this  'Whiterider1' answered many more questions including one about a Channel Tunnel route by saying that they are no plans to make one as 20 minutes of it would be in a tunnel pointing out that people complained about how much of London To Faversham was in tunnels, and hinted at more steam routes coming in the future as well as much more you can read for yourself at: http://www.reddit.com/r/nerdcubed/comments/2iav61/nerd%C2%B3_plays_train_simulator_2015/

This person was confirmed by the moderators of the "Nerdcubed" subreddit  as being from Dovetail Games other than that I have no other evidence.

West Highland Line Extension Coming Soon To Railworks on Steam!

A new route has been announced for Train Simulator 2014/15 (TBC hence the unusual use of Railworks in the title of this post). Developed by Thompson Interactive  West Highland Line Extension will feature the scenic route from Fort William to Mallaig (around 50 miles) with an all new Class 37/4 Locomotive.
