SimRail Update - 08.10.2026

Dear Players,

Today we’re releasing another SimRail update, and this time the BR285 takes centre stage.

We’ve gone through your feedback on the DLC, and we want to thank you for all your reviews, especially the constructive criticism. We’re sorry for the issues you’ve run into. In this update we’ve reworked the BR285 engine sounds and fixed a number of other issues, and a tutorial for the locomotive is in preparation.

In multiplayer, improved position interpolation means trains should no longer keep stopping while driving, and the virtual dispatcher no longer gets stuck between Bełchów and Łowicz Główny.

We’ve also fixed cruise control when driving backwards, the automatic closing of the circuit breaker and several dispatcher post issues.

Thank you for your support. We’re working to make SimRail better with every update. Below you’ll find the full list of changes.
