Train Sim Update

Blog, News, , , ,

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.

Flight Sim Update 2 New Airplanes

Blog, News, , , , , ,

Flight Sim for Android has been updated with 2 new airplanes and many improvements and bug fixes.  This update brings the total number of airplanes to 16.  My goal for this year is to bring the number of airplanes to 20 so I think I am right on track.  As always these new airplanes are available for free and there are no in-app purchases in Flight Sim.

WEP-7 Indian RailwaysMy 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 futureWEP-7 Indian Railways

At this point I am guessing I am about 4 weeks a
way from having this train published as I
am also working on a new game (more information coming soon) so please don’t email me every day asking when its ready 🙂

Train Sim Updated iOS, Amazon, Windows Store

CTA 5000The 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.

 

Train Sim Android with new Sounds!

Train SimulatorSounds 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.
