I know there was an old Derail Valley thread some time back but it didn't get much attention. In case anyone still remembers it, DV has just received a large update and has been renamed to Derail Valley Simulator. Huge improvements and additions have been provided across almost every aspect of the game.
Good video here from Squirrel who demonstrates some of the improvements, notably the new DE2 and DE6 locos.
In terms of future features there are plenty in the queue which is good to see. One downside of this Simulator update is the map is pretty much the same as before, but the based on the roadmap (Derail Valley Unlocks) I'd hope to see scope for new maps / worlds with new track types, cities, OHE etc.
Anyway. This is absolutely worth your time if you have a VR setup.
- Day / night cycles
- Weather
- Train suspension
- Water effects
- Visual effects + lighting
- Advanced brake simulation
- New UI
- Rendering improvements
- Sessions manager
- Sandbox mode
