Train Sim – Another Awesome Update

November 14, 2016Blog, NewsAmazon, Android, Game Updates, iOS, Train Sim, Train Simulator, Update, Windows StoreAdam Berent

I am happy to report that Train Sim has received another awesome update. This time I focused on updating one of the existing older scenes.

I started by asking my twitter account, Which Scene I should focus on updating. The Farm Land scene was a clear winner. (I think I will be doing more of that in the future)

Initially I focused on making a larger more interesting track layout. In the old scene the track was arranged in a circle, and I received allot of complaints about that from users. As you will see from the top view of the track, the layout is much more interesting then before.

I also wanted to add some new assets to the scene, These included:

Improved Track Textures
Improved Horse Model
New Cow Models
New Large Grain Elevator/Silos
New Farm Textures
Improved Water Effects

However I wanted the scene to seem familiar as well, so allot of the old farm textures & small towns found in the old levels are still present in this new scene.

On top of the improved Farm Land scene I also added a new GE AC4400CW train with custom freight cars to go with it. This brings the total number of trains available in Train Sim to 47!

This new awesome new update is already available on Android & Amazon. And it is pending review in the Windows Store. I am still working on updating Train Sim on iOS.

Train Sim New Trains and Menu

August 9, 2016Blog, NewsAmazon, Android, iOS, iPhone, Train Sim, Update, Windows StoreAdam Berent

Although I had the Acela Express model ready for a while, I did not get a chance to ad it to Train Sim in the last update . Adding the Indian Scene was already a huge story and I wanted to make sure I limit the amount of changes in a single release.

So over the last 2 weeks I focused on adding the Acela Express & the Southern Pacific 4449. to Train Sim. I think you will agree that the quality of these Trains is really awesome!

I also spend some time improving the Main Menu for Train Sim. The important change here is that the scenes are now represented by text and picture, making it far more kid friendly. (This has been on my backlog for a long time.)

These changes are now live on Android & Amazon, and waiting for review on iOS. I should have the Windows Store & Phone version live within the next week or two.

Trains & Dinosaurs

Its been a busy few weeks. First I updated Train Sim with 2 (yes 2) new Trains; Class 91 & Bombardier Talent. If that was not enough I also added a new Train Selector and fixed a bunch of bugs.

I am proud to say that Train Sim now features 44 Trains. Thats 44 high quality realistic trains with full 3D cabins and custom sounds. This update is now available on Android, Amazon & iOS.

I have to say Train Sim came a long way in just over 2 years, I can only imagine where it will be in 2 more.

If that was not enough I also posted an Update to Dinosaur Sim. Although Dinosaur Sim is a fairly recent addition to my game lineup, it has proven to be very popular. So this week I added 2 new Dinosaurs (Styracosaurs & Kentrosaurus) to Dinosaur Sim. I am happy to say that this update is also already available on Android & iOS with Amazon coming soon.

I am also working on a Windows 10 version of Dinosaur Sim, I may be able to submit it next week.

Train Sim Update

April 3, 2016Blog, NewsAmazon, Android, Train Sim, Train Simulator, UpdateAdam Berent

Last week I posted a new version of Train Sim for Android, and Amazon. This update features Double Engines which is one of the features most requested by Train Sim users I also took the opportunity to add Game Controller Support. This is not a popular request but it does open Train Sim to devices that support Game Controllers such as Amazon TV or Xbox One. Please let me know how the controller works on Android game controllers. Lastly I fixed the direction of steam when trains go backwards.

As always the iOS and Windows 10 update will come slightly after the Android releases.

WEP-7 Indian Railways My graphic artist send me an in progress preview of the WAP-7 Indian Railways Engine for an upcoming release of Train Sim. There is still allot of work he has to do on the interior of the Train, but as you can see its looking great already.

Indian trains are frequently requested by Train Sim users, often with a daily reminder. I am happy o be able to add this train to Train Sim in the near future WEP-7 Indian Railways

At this point I am guessing I am about 4 weeks a
way from having this train published as I

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.

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.

Train Sim 3.4.5 Released

October 14, 2015Blog, NewsAndroid, Android Game, Chicago "L", CTA 5000, Subway, Train Sim, Train Simulator, UpdateAdam Berent

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 CTA 5000 Inside (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.
