S -Bahn Zentralschweiz: Luzern – Sursee was announced earlier today, you can find more details and first screenshots about this route in our announce article.

In our previous Roadmap we talked about the order in which we organised the Preservation Crew updates and how they were expected to move. We have used community feedback and discussions internally to decide the most likely order you can expect to receive these changes.

We also talked about testing in the previous Roadmap and how this has become an obstacle for the updates releasing. We are pleased to share that progress has been made since the previous Roadmap and the Sand Patch updates and all Peninsula Corridor updates have now been through testing. We are confident we will be able to release them soon.

This week we're also going to talk more about our release process and how it applies to both updates as well as Preservation Crew work. Below is the simplified process of what happens from start to finish. We will go into more detail in tonight's stream and what we're doing to grease the cogs in the areas we're experiencing challenges with.

Tonight we talk to Executive Producer Matt Peddlesden to go into more detail on this process and our plans going forward.

Finally, the team have made significant progress with red signals that have resulted in players being unable to complete services on London Commuter. You can expect to see this improvement with our next update.

These are forthcoming add-ons that are being developed by Dovetail Games. Where details are still being finalised for a release we are including the ID code for it when possible. This will give you a good idea of what to expect. To see what these ID codes mean you can refer to this post.

Core features are larger projects. These may be significant new pieces of functionality or changes that will affect players on one or several different platforms. Often requiring more time in development this list may move more slowly than others.

Projects that players will notice but don’t fall into one of the other categories.

Projects that are being tackled by the Preservation Crew. Many of these upgrades will simply be adding the latest game functionality to an older route. The additions or changes in the “upgrade” will include some or all of the following: station departure boards, animated crossings, platform climb-up functionality, improved track rendering, Rush Hour passenger density and appearance, support for RailDriver, contact signaller functionality, minor fixes to scenery, minor fixes to audio, minor fixes to gameplay, minor fixes to menu items, Livery Designer compatibility and Scenario Planner expansion.

Items that have been removed from the Roadmap. This is either because they have been completed, their status having changed or the project having been suspended.

Join us today, Tuesday February 8th at 20:00 UTC, on Twitch or YouTube where members of the team will be discussing the latest Roadmap and answering your questions. You can also find all our release previews over on YouTube.
