Updated - Train Simulator Classic
As promised in our recent developer article we have updated the default start up option to be 64-bit instead of 32-bit. This does not affect your ability to select or play either 32-bit or 64-bit. If you have already saved a default option to play each time you load Train Simulator, you will need to re-select an option to save as your default option. Read the full dev update on Dovetail Live.
Updated - Smokebox Locos
The Union Pacific Big Boy, Union Pacific Challenger, and Union Pacific FEF-3 have all received updates this month adjusting injector values to compensate for the fix to the core code. These updates also included a new static model for the Union Pacific Big Boy and added handbrake key command for the Union Pacific FEF-3.
