Thank you for playing JR East Train Simulator!
Are you enjoying the Saikyo Line and Kawagoe Line DLC that was recently released?
In this game, you can enjoy the scenery along the lines, which changes from urban areas to bedroom towns and rural landscapes.Do you have a favorite section to drive?
(I especially like the section between Todakoen Station and Toda Station where the E3 and E2 Shinkansen overtake each other!)
Now, I would like to update you on the progress of our work as of March 6.
As for the "Oito Line's in-train voice broadcasting," which we reported in our post on February 7, we are now steadily working on connecting the recorded voice data with the route data.
As for the "maximum speed display function" that we announced in our December 22nd posting, we are currently preparing a list of speed limits for each route.
The work involved in implementing the "maximum speed display function" is as follows
- First, the types of traffic signals and speed limit signs on each route and their approximate locations are identified.
- The original simulator video with unique frame numbers is viewed from the first station to the last station. The locations of the actual traffic signals and speed limit signs in the video are visually confirmed one by one, and the frame numbers are written into the speed limit list.
- Based on the speed limit list with frame numbers entered, ONGAKUKAN's development staff manually puts the information into the simulator as speed limit information.
This is the kind of work that is being done.

▲List of speed limits on the Tokaido Line
We will announce the timing of the implementation of the Oito Line in-train broadcasting and the maximum speed display function for each line here when we are ready to do so, based on the progress of the work.
We apologize for the long wait, and we appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your continued support!
