12/22 Update Notice
Thank you for playing JR East Train Simulator!
Based on your feedback, we have added the following features to make your driving experience even more enjoyable.
■Update details on December 22, 2022
・Added a button to display the manual on the menu screen and pause screen. ・Added a setting item for voice to the settings screen.
We would also like to inform you of our future update schedule. We had originally planned to release the next DLC in December, but due to the many requests for the basic pack and DLC (Tokaido Line, Chuo Line Rapid Service, and Oito Line), we have decided to give priority to the enhancement of the functions of the basic pack and DLC (Tokaido Line, Chuo Line Rapid Service, and Oito Line) first.
Currently, we are considering the following functional enhancements. ・Maximum speed display ・Expansion of guidance for beginners ・Expansion of controller support and key bindings for controllers ・Addition of in-train broadcasts and call-out sounds (starting with those for which sound sources are available, such as the conductor's voice broadcast). ・Support for Steam's language switching function ・Design changes to the route selection screen. The timing of the above items is undecided at this time, and there is a possibility that they will not be implemented, but we will continue to consider them.
The next DLC is scheduled to be distributed for the Saikyo Line and Kawagoe Line (Osaki to Kawagoe) in February 2023 or later. (*This is the current schedule and is subject to change.)
We will continue to update the JR East Train Simulator so that it will be loved by everyone.

Simulator Status Update #1
About Frequency Environments other than 60hz Monitor Refresh Rate This simulator was developed based on the assumption that the monitor refresh rate is 60 hz. We have received many reports of playback under other settings than 60 hz (faster or slower acceleration than usual), so we have modified some programs to work under other rates as well. Although this modification has expanded the playable environment, the display position has been shifted due to the modification, and we are currently considering how to address this issue.
About monitor resolution The simulator was developed assuming a monitor resolution of 1920 x 1080, but we have received reports that the simulator can be played on high resolution monitors such as 4K, so we are currently considering whether or not to support this resolution.
About the number of sound channels Currently, the simulator is designed to operate with 2 sound channels. We are currently considering the possibility of supporting multiple channels.
Freeze at Now Loading screen We have confirmed that the "Now Loading" screen freezes when a station is selected on the simulator immediately after PC startup.
The screen does not display properly after the simulator is started. This problem may occur when the system requirements described in the store page are not met. In particular, this problem occurs when the graphics board requirements are not met.
