New Features

Amongst a variety of other improvements, TS12 features the following major items:

• Satellite View - The free-roaming camera can now be seamlessly zoomed beyond the traditional ~300m viewing distance, all the way up to the ~10km range previously only afforded by the separate map view.
• Trainz Multiplayer - TS12 is the first retail version of Trainz to support online multiplayer. (It's also the first train simulator to do so.) Assorted multiplayer sessions will be available in the box, and regular updates with additional multiplayer gameplay experiences are made freely available via the Download Station.
• Doppler - We've undertaken an overhaul of the sound system for TS12 and taken the opportunity to include doppler calculations for added realism. 

New Routes

• ECML Kings Cross - Newcastle - An improved and extended version of the prototypical British route you know and love from TS2010, set in the 1970s 'blue diesel' era.
• Balezino - Mosti - An incredibly detailed fictional route set in the Russia's modern era. This route features electric locomotives and provides an excellent in-cab driving experience.
