As promised I updated 3 Jeweled with a mute button. You can now set the sound options in the menu to “Music Off” or “Mute All Sounds” This way people can listen to their own music as they play the game. I also prevented the device from sleeping during gameplay.

Train Sim Android with new Sounds!
Sounds Sounds Sounds!
After weeks of work I am finally ready to release the new version of Train Sim. This is a huge update addressing one of the most common requests for Train Sim; Better Sounds.
Each train engine now has its own custom sounds for its engine, horn, bell and breaks. When uncompressed there are over 85MB of new sound data. I think the end result is quite impressive, giving the simulation a much higher level of realism. As a bonus I also added a rain sound that turns on during the Rain weather setting.
In this update I also fixed some smaller bugs and made some minor improvements to the Country Loop Scene train stations.
3 Jeweled 2 Million Downloads
Today 3 Jeweled was downloaded for the 2,000,000 time. I would like to thank all the people who have enjoyed 3 Jeweled over the last 2 years. I also would like to thank everyone for all the positive reviews and comments you have left me. I read them often and take all of your feedback seriously. Currently the most asked for feature is a mute button so people can listen to their own music while playing. I am planning to add this in the next update.
Happy Playing!
Sounds Sounds Sounds
One of the constant complaints I get about Train Sim is that the locomotive sounds need improvement. In the past I have been hampered by the 50 MB file limit in the Google Play store (audio files take space). I have also had a hard time finding a sound engineer that was able to come up with these realistic locomotive sounds.
Fortunately both of these challenges are now solved. So my focus for the next Train Sim release is to add realistic and unique audio for each of the 41 Trains in Train Sim. I have already implemented several of the new audio effects and they sound great.
Stay tuned for more info.
Antonov An-22 Now Available in Flight Sim for Android
Antonov An-22 Now Available in Flight Sim for Android. This brings the total airplanes in Flight Sim to 14. I am still aiming for a minimum of 20 airplanes in the short term, and I am adding about 1 per month. As always Flight Sim does not have any in-app purchasing and all the airplanes are available for free.
iOS update coming soon.
Train Sim Southern England Route
Everyone onboard, Train Sim has been updated once again. This time I added a new Southern England inspired route. Old Churches, Ruined Castles, Windmills, Victorian Architecture, we have got them all. Now available for Android, iOS & Windows Store coming soon.
New Scene in Progress
This is still early but I wanted to share with you my progress on making a new scene for Train Sim that is Britain/Europe themed. Expect to see lots of old buildings, wind mills, castles and bridges. I think I am making good progress but its a long track so it will be weeks before I am ready for release. I want to make sure there are lots of interesting things to see and that performance is good on all devices. Stay Tuned!

Flight Sim Gulfstream G100
Flight Sim 2.1.5 for Android was updated today. This new version features a Gulfstream G100 Twin Engine Business Jet. This is the 12th free airplane in Flight Sim making it the most affordable Flight Simulator on Google Play (free with no in app purchases).
Train Sim 3.4.5 Released
Train Sim 3.4.5 for Android is now live. This new update features a new Chicago “L” CTA 5000 subway train with a realistic 3D driver cabin as well as a passenger 3D interior.
Also in this update are much requested
longer trains. I managed to increase each train by at least 1 additional coach 
(without killing performance) and in some cases by 2-4 to match the exact historical configuration. Opposite Trains also received a length increase. Also in this update the Dash 9 Interior cabin has been significantly improved, eliminating one of the weaker 3D cabins in Train Sim. I am currently working on releasing this update for iOS and Windows Store/Phone.
