Here’s a look at our upcoming plans:
🔹 More Frequent Updates
We have optimized our development and testing processes, allowing us to release updates more quickly and regularly—sometimes as frequently as every 2–3 weeks!
To ensure the quality of these updates, we have carefully selected dedicated players from our community as beta testers. These testers get early access to new versions and help us detect bugs and test improvements. Their feedback has already contributed significantly to optimizations!

🔹 Adjustment of Tram Signal Phases
With update 1.0.3, we have reworked the signaling system to create more realistic traffic light phases. However, this has also resulted in trams sometimes having to wait too long. We are actively working on adjusting the signal timings and line schedules to make the process smoother—without making the simulation too easy. 😉
🔹 Improved Driving Physics for the R2.2b
The sinusoidal movement of the R2.2b tram is currently being adjusted! This will reduce lateral swaying in curves and even on straight tracks, making the driving experience even more realistic.
🔹 Performance Optimizations & Crash Fixes for Xbox Series X/S
Some of you have reported performance issues and crashes, especially on Xbox Series S. In the upcoming updates, we are optimizing roads, sidewalks, and trams to prevent crashes and improve overall performance—benefiting all platforms!
🔹 Announcements for Xbox Series X/S
We recently received an update for the announcements plugin on Xbox Series X/S, but there are still technical issues. The plugin developer is already working on a fix, and as soon as the feature is stable, we will release a hotfix so you can use announcements as soon as possible.
🔹 New Navigation System
The previous HUD navigation didn’t meet our expectations. In the next update, you can expect a dynamic navigation system that will guide you directly through the city. You can choose between different display styles: the full route, short distances, or only switch points.
