Take things a step further with enhanced realism by enabling safety systems by default!

Take things beyond Ultra with an all-new “Epic” settings level, taking better advantage of modern hardware by extending draw distances and improving shadow quality. On top of that, Train Sim World 7 now runs on DirectX 12, supports DLSS 4.5 adding DLAA and upscaling, as well as FSR 4 for upscaling and frame generation. Make visuals the best they can be with an all-new Enhanced Lighting option for all TOD4 routes.✅
Right away, driver! On trains which have guards, they can now open and close the doors, increasing realism for driver-guard operations.
