We hope everyone will take a look and try the quiz! 5/27 (Tue) Update NoticeMay 27, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsThank you for playing JR EAST Train Simulator. It took about one year from conception to implementation! Today, Tuesday, May 27, we implemented a randomization of signal indications on 16 of the existing distribution routes! Signal Indications Change for the Same Driving!? For more information on signal indications, please check out the following! 【Until now】 The timing of the signal change by the preceding train was controlled based on pre-created data.However, because the signal present is always fixed, the timing of the signal change is the same no matter how many times you drive, and once you learn it, it has become uninteresting. This time, we have added randomness to these changes, making driving more realistic by changing the timing each time the player drives. 【This update】 Because the delay of the preceding train is now a random event,the signal indications will change every time the same train runs on the same timetable (Due to randomness, delays may not occur)。 This allows players to enjoy different operating conditions for each play, even on the same schedule. Note that the same signal will not be displayed each time the train is operated in the delayed setting section, and it is not possible to redo the operation. Even if you select a station again from the pause menu during operation, a new signal opening time will be set. 【Points of Attention】 The target section is randomly determined in addition to the number of seconds of delay.Because even if the number of seconds of delay of the preceding train is shifted by a certain value, it can be easily exploited if the amount of shift is known. Although it may be delayed excepting of time check station,the train is set to arrive on time at the time check station. Sometimes the departure signal is a stop signal until just before departure time. It is more important than ever to drive according to the schedule. Since stop signals are also likely to occur, please be careful not to drive too fast. If the security system brakes due to stop signals, etc, there will be a significant delay and the train may not arrive on time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42896253/5200decf11d40b22b094cfeca0c91f656928f62f.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42896253/77c8fbe6baa96f15107cf00f1253b27e702481c7.jpg Signal indications change even under the same timetable and operating conditions! 【Target Routes】 Keihin-Tōhoku・Negishi Line Tōkaidō Line Chuō Line Rapid Service Saikyō Line・Kawagoe Line Senseki Kine Keiyō Line Yamanote Line Jōban Line Nambu Line Tsurumi Line Sōbu rapid Line Takasaki Line Utsunomiya Line Yokosuka Line Ōme Line Tōkaidō Freight Line 【Major highlights of the route】 Keihin-Tōhoku・Negishi Line: From Minami-Urawa,The train will catch up with the preceding train , increasing the number of times it approaches the pattern. This will be a test of your skill in braking without compromising riding comfort.

Thank you again for the many reviews and supportive comments. Now, I hope you all got the hint about the next distribution route that I gave in the last announcement. Let's try to answer what the DLC that “Routes that cannot be ridden through in one train” represents was! ・ ・ ・ The meaning of “Routes that cannot be ridden through in one train” was “a line that has both electrified and non-electrified sections within a single line, with separate operations.

Unlike conventional limited express trains, it was designed for commuter use, with two passenger doors per car and wider doors than existing limited express trains. It was first used for the express train “Izu” in March 1981 and the express train “Odoriko” in October of the same year, and was assigned to many express trains such as the express trains “Kusatsu” and “Tanigawa” to Gunma, and the express train “Nasuno” to Tochigi. Taking advantage of the versatility of the carriages, they were also used in various types of trains, such as regular trains, the temporary rapid “Moonlight Naru” and the “Spur” skiing train. Currently, the train is no longer in operation as a regular train, but can be seen as a temporary train.

It was first used for the express train “Izu” in March 1981 and the express train “Odoriko” in October of the same year, and was assigned to many express trains such as the express trains “Kusatsu” and “Tanigawa” to Gunma, and the express train “Nasuno” to Tochigi. Taking advantage of the versatility of the carriages, they were also used in various types of trains, such as regular trains, the temporary rapid “Moonlight Naru” and the “Spur” skiing train. Currently, the train is no longer in operation as a regular train, but can be seen as a temporary train.

We hope everyone is enjoying the update that was made on Tuesday, January 28. We have received the following comments regarding the implementation of the newly added driver finger pointing voice for the Senseki Line, Shinetsu Line, Saikyo Line, and Kawagoe Line DLCs, and the environmental sounds during station stops for the Tsurumi Line and Nambu Branch Line DLCs. "The finger pointing voice between Kami-Nuttari Signal Station and Niigata Station on the Shinetsu Line and the ATACS section of the Senseki Line and Saikyo Line was instructive." "It is good for increasing the sense of realism." "The summer heat and humidity can be felt." Now, I hope you all got the hint about the next distribution route that I gave in the last announcement. Let's try to answer what the DLC that “421” represents was! ・ ・ ・ The meaning of 421 is “the paint ratio of a certain vehicle”, which means stripe color with a paint ratio of 4:2:1. You all already know what I mean when I say “stripe-colored” vehicles, don't you? So, the next delivery will be the first train DLC for JR EAST Train Simulator, Series 185! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42896253/32d550c8a95defebc3a3efb1c931597359a9a472.jpg Vehicles to be delivered: Series 185 cars DLC (Series 185-0: 10 and 15 cars, Series 185-200: 7 and 14 cars) Train lines covered: Tokaido Line, Tokaido Freight Line, Utsunomiya Line, Takasaki Line Target section:   Local train (521M) Tokyo ⇒ Atami, Limited Express Odoriko No.3 (3023M) Tokyo ⇒ Atami   Shonan Liner No.4 (3274M) Odawara ⇒ Shinagawa, Ohayō Liner Shinjuku No.26 (3456M) Odawara ⇒ Shinjuku   Limited Express Ohayō Tochigi No. 2 (5042M) Utsunomiya ⇒ Omiya, Limited Express Ohayō Tochigi No. 4 (5044M) Kuroiso ⇒ Omiya   Limited Express Minakami/Kusatsu No.1 (3001M) Ueno ⇒ Takasaki, Limited Express Kusatsu No.3 (3003M) Ueno ⇒ Takasaki Release date: Scheduled for Thursday, February 27, 2025 International sales price: $26.99 *Purchase of the “Basic Pack” and “DLC for the applicable route” is required in advance to play each train of the Series 185 DLC.
