As announced in our new roadmap, this week we’re excited to share some major updates: improved lighting and route details in Berlin and Hamburg.
But let’s take it step by step..
Berlin: More Atmosphere Above and Below Ground
Image 1 – Wittenbergplatz:
Our new dynamic lighting really shines here, bringing the station’s iconic steel beams to life with realistic illumination.
Image 2 – Tunnel section after Nollendorfplatz:
Hamburg already had emergency exits – but in Berlin, they were missing until now. We’ve added them with authentic blue emergency exit lighting, adding both realism and depth to the tunnels.
Images 3 & 4 – Möckernbrücke and sunset:
On the surface, a special highlight awaits: a beautiful sunset over Berlin as we head toward Möckernbrücke.
Daisy Displays:
These have also been updated with improved fonts, a redesigned display model, and new features such as delay information for trains.
Hamburg: Lighting Effects Between the Harbor and the City
Image 1 – Ramp to Rathaus:
A DT5 train heads toward Wandsbek, with the Hamburg Michel in the background and a stunning sunset painting the sky – pure Hamburg vibes.
Image 2 – Rathaus Station:
Here we see a DT5 ready for departure, with the new lighting adding depth and atmosphere to the station.
Image 3 – Landungsbrücken:
Finally, a look at the Hamburg harbor: the new lighting creates a picturesque evening scene around the Landungsbrücken station.
With these improvements, we aim to make the routes in Berlin and Hamburg feel more alive, realistic, and atmospheric. 🌇🚇
