Google Play (Android) Store Listing
Train Sim Updated iOS, Amazon, Windows Store
The reason that I always publish to Google Play/Android first, is that the updates are almost instant and always available the same day. All the other platforms take longer, between 1-7 days. Even longer if the update gets rejected for something silly.
This last update to Train Sim was especially important because of the major improvement to sound effects, so I wanted to publish these changes ASAP. I am happy to announce that this new version of Train Sim with improved sounds is now available for iOS, Amazon Store & Windows Store. The only remaining platform I still have to update is Windows Phone. However Windows Phone affects a very small % of the player base so at this point over 99% of Train Sim fans have access to the newest version.
3 Jeweled Updated
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.
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.
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.
Train Sim All 3D Cabs
As promised in my Post in February, I have been focusing on delivering 3D cabs for all Trains in Train Sim. With the addition of a 3D cabin for the Flying Scotsman my goal is complete and all 40 trains in Train Sim now have a 3D Cabin.
Now to be fair not all the 3D cabins have the same standard. The weakest of the lot are the Dash 9, LNER Mallard and the NY Hudson. I will be focusing on improving these in the near future. There are also a few Passenger Cars that do not have a 3D Interior that will have to be fixed.
However for now I am happy to report that there are no more 2D Train Cabins in Train Sim and that all future trains will also have 3D Cabins.

Metrovagonmash 81-760/761 Added to Train Sim
Train Sim 3.4.3 was release for Android. This is a rather large update that added a new Subway Train and an amazing 3D Cab for the Challenger Locomotive. This means that The Flying Scotsman is the last train to feature a 2D Cabin and I hope to have that fixed in the next release. In this release I also made it possible for all opposite trains to stop at stations, making their behaviour slightly more realistic.
Here is the list of new features in Train Sim version 3.4.3:
-3D Cab for Challenger Train
-Track Switching to the Desert andMountain Scenes
-Metrovagonmash 81-760 Subway Train
-More Historically Accurate Flying Scotsman Tender
-Opposite Trains now stop on stations
This weekend I will try to get Train Sim iOS version updated as well, which means it could go live within 7-10 days.
