May has been a busy month for Train Simulator! We’ve updated the core game, released a new routes collection, launched our Rail Subscription and more!

The core simulator has been updated this month with a free patch. This includes performance improvements, updates to tools, new command line options, as well as a range of fixes and updates to improve your experience with the simulator. Full patch notes.
