This package contains two complete subway routes with
its 53 stations. The U2 with its 29
stations takes the virtual driver from the newly
designed station Pankow in the north-east of the
city through the eastern part calling at Alexanderplatz
and then moving on to the western part
via the Potsdamer Platz, Wittenbergplatz, Bahnhof Zoo, right
to Ruhleben. Sections of this route run above
ground and are modelled true to the original.
The second subway line, the U8, has 24
stations and connects the northern part of Berlin
with the southern part. It runs from Wittenau
to Hermannstraße. All stations, depots and animated train
wash facilities are originally detailed and the tunnel
systems will give a true impression of the
atmosphere underground.
Pice de résistance of this add-on
is surely the newly developed light- and tex
turing system, which is a part of the
'Enhanced Graphic Engine'. It is now possible to
display realistic lighting effects in tunnels as well
as reflections on glass, metal or water surfaces.
This is the first time ever that this
has been made possible for Train Simulator.A highlight
is the special start-up program which allows the
virtual train driver to select various settings such
as a TML special camera system which enables
an outside view of the train inside a
tunnel, also a unique feature.
The 'Reality Mode'
activates the true life of a virtual driver.
Wear and tear is now a major issue
for the trains. Systems can fail and driving
the train in service will make it dirty
meaning it has to be taken into maintenance.
This however will make the train be unavailable
for a given time.A thrilling effect is the
frame rate of this add-on.
