| New DESTINATION DISPLAYS in the MEGA Update! | 2024-03-26 | Today we are announcing another long-awaited feature. Many of you have requested it - and now it's part of SubwaySim Hamburg. We're talking about no other feature than the DT5's destination display! Similarly to the information displays on the platform, we have now redeveloped the train destination displays from scratch, among many other things in the game. This means that we now use fonts which are perfectly true to the original. Finally, the DT5 matrix does look exactly as you know it from reality. As with the information displays on the platform, the train's destination is also displayed in as much width as possible on the screen. For the |

The particular advantage of Scenario Mode is that there is a close coordination betwee |
| Finally: New Platform INFO DISPLAYS! | 2024-02-27 | Today we would like to introduce you to our brand new platform displays in depth. The SubwaySim MEGA update is not only about fundamental improvements to the game - it's also about the visuals! In response to your feedback, we have decided to redevelop our platform displays from scratch - this time with maximum attention to the original! In addition to a revised 3D model, this means many improvements especially to the display itself. Some of you may have noticed that HOCHBAHN uses two different types of real-time info displays: On the one hand, the orange colour version in the picture at the very top, which is used for stations above ground. |
| New INPUT-System with Controller support! | 2024-02-12 | We have already reported that we have re-engineered almost all the core systems in SubwaySim Hamburg from scratch as part of the MEGA update. This also applies to the input system, which handles the processing of keyboard and joystick inputs. With the new input system, you will have the option of assigning up to 3 buttons or joystick buttons per function. Starting with the release of the MEGA update, greatly improved controller support will also enter the beta phase. This means that you can freely assign buttons and axes from your devices and the buttons will usually be recognised automatically. By the way: Virtually any settings in the game |
| A New Vehicle: The DT5.1! | 2024-02-03 | We are happy to announce that we have implemented a new vehicle into the game: Say hi to the DT5.1 series!

There are various differences in detail between the different batches, and the equipment of the DT5 was also modified over time. Up to now, we had exclusively focused on the DT5.2 series in SubwaySim, and from now on, you will be able to experience the DT5.1's particular features as well. There are a number of differences between the DT5.1 and DT5.2 series, for example regarding the exterior, the interior and the cab. The |
| UPCOMING UPDATE: New Signalling and Interlocking System! | 2024-01-24 | Gone are the days when the interlocking system would stop your journey in SubwaySim Hamburg! We have decided to rewrite the entire signalling and interlocking system from scratch. Since the release of SubwaySim, some of you have repeatedly reported problems with the current interlocking system - like permanently red signals, collisions with AI trains and incorrectly set points/switches. All of these issues are now a thing of the past! But how exactly does our new interlocking system work? In short: almost exactly like a real signalling system. Put simply, five steps are necessary before the train can set off: First, the start and destination |
| More AI-trains for Everyone! | 2024-01-19 | Good news: We've not just worked on the DT5, but also on AI services in general. We have drastically reduced the performance impact of AI trains. Look forward to AI trains on all underground lines - and better performance at the same time! |
