Dear RailFans
Today is a very important day!
The long-awaited update & Cargo Pack DLC has just arrived at the final station.
In today's update you will receive a fully functional ETCS (European Train Control System) level 1 & 2, new missions with AI movement and shunting operations, as well as numerous updates.
What many people are waiting for is our first DLC - Cargo Pack, created in cooperation with an external developer.
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2868050/SimRail__The_Railway_Simulator_Cargo_Pack/
You will have the opportunity to compete with the heaviest coal trains, for which the ET22 locomotive was designed, as well as InterRegio passenger trains. The longest mission is over 4 hours of driving! Additionally, it is the first SimRail vehicle with a full starting procedure and a functional engine room.
Before starting the game, we highly recommend completing the tutorials of the ETCS system and the ET22 locomotive!
Full list of changes below.
THERE MAY BE TEMPORARY PROBLEMS WITH ONLINE PLAY DUE TO SERVER UPDATES
