For current fans and users of the franchise, you will be able to update to SP1 through the in-game auto-update that will prompt you that a new version of Trainz is available for download.
Improvements and New Features:
- A new in-game downloadable content system allows for players to expand their Trainz library with both payware and freeware options ranging from highly detailed locomotives to new routes and scenery, right from inside their game.
- A new in-game navigation system allows for players to more easily find their way when lost, with a HUD showing them the way when they're close, or by appearing on their maps when they're far away.
- An expanded sound library now offers a more realistic experience. Sounds come from every aspect of the environment, not just from locomotives. With improved stereo playback, the player will be fully immersed in the environment they're seeing.
- Configurable control schemes now allow for players to bind controls and tasks to their keyboards, mice, or other gaming devices. This allows for players to create an experience unique to themselves.
- To stay up-to-date with real world trends, we've added A.W.S (Advanced Warning System) features to the British ECML (East Coast Main Line) route. This provides players with an even greater experience, by offering them realistic game-play than ever before.
- By improving the coupling physics engine, we've now made the connections between locomotives and rolling stock more realistic than you'll find anywhere else. For true to life representation, you can't pass Trainz 12: SP1
