A few weeks ago, we mentioned that alongside Berlin’s U-Bahn, Hamburg’s U3 line will also be part of SubwaySim 2. Since then, a lot has happened, and today we’re excited to show you how the updates from Berlin are making their mark in Hamburg.
The New Lighting and Weather System
Thanks to revamped weather, lighting, and atmospheric effects, Hamburg now has a completely new ambiance. Whether it’s bright sunshine or the city’s famously rainy "Schietwetter," the visuals are stunning, with detailed environments and immersive lighting effects. In the second image, you’ll also notice the entirely updated AI traffic on the streets – adding even more life to the scene!
Completely Redesigned Tracks – With Updated Stations
Hamburg’s infrastructure has received a significant upgrade! For SubwaySim 2, we’ve completely redeveloped our track system. With accurate curve radii, transition curves, and superelevation values, you’ll experience an even more realistic ride. In fact, every single track segment in Hamburg has been replaced. In addition, all stations have received a facelift, including different platform heights for persons with reduced mobility - at least for those stations that are accessible in reality.
Numerous Improvements – and New Passengers
Some of you previously recognized that the St. Pauli station in SubwaySim Hamburg wasn’t accurately depicted. We’ve addressed this issue as part of the recent updates. Apart from that, there are plenty of additional improvements to look forward to in Hamburg, which we’ll be showcasing over the coming weeks and months.
Last but not least, Hamburg now features our upgraded NPCs, the Metahumans. Whether it’s passengers or AI train operators, these new characters add variety and vibrancy to Hamburg’s U-Bahn network!
All aboard - join us to gain deeper insights into the world of SubwaySim 2 over the next few weeks and months!
