A-Train 9 - Better Than Ever
A-Train 9 has had many major upgrades to the feature set and gameplay options over the years, with this version, Japan Rail Simulator, being the new pinnacle of the game.What Is A-Train 9?The biggest and best city builder, transport simulation game returns with a host of new features.
The new version of A-Train has a stack of new features that focus on the two most important aspects of gameplay: realism and control.
Enhanced Realism
A-Train is about creating working, profitable cities built around a strong transport network. Over the years we have seen our players create some fantastic cities, the scale and scope of which is staggering.
Whether it is the painstaking re-creation of 100 km² real-life cities, or imaginative sprawling utopias, A-Train has always allowed the player to use their imagination. The latest version increases the scale and scope of the game 100%. Twice as many vehicles can be placed on landscapes with twice as many art assets. More road and track-side features with new levels of flexibility in the way that road and rail are built.
The player can now use these tools to create more realistic and involved cities either from real-life or from their imagination. This extra realism is balanced by some great new control options which work at both the individual vehicle level and the management control level of the game.
Become the Driver
Have you ever wondered what it might be like to actually drive one of your trains? To actually experience the challenges the engineers may face in keeping to the speed limit, providing a comfortable ride, and delivering the goods and passengers on time? Well, in A-Train 9 V4 Japan Rail Simulator, it's now possible to step on the footplate and take control. Either from the first-person engineers point of view, or from a bird’s-eye 3rd person viewpoint, experience your cities like never before.
It’s not just trains. Jump on board a car or boat and see your creations from whole new perspectives. Ever wondered what it would be like to be a citizen or a worker in your city? While now you can find out.
Double the Vehicles
Doubling the number of vehicles in the game adds a massive amount of scope and scale to the game, and that brings with it its own challenges. It might be overwhelming to have 200 trains running simultaneously. Understanding what they are all doing and how to optimize their timetables and routes with so much going on would be a challenge for anyone.
Plan Your Routes
A-Train 9 V4 Japan Rail Simulator adds new features that bring you control from the transport planner level.
It's now possible to sort and filter your vehicle by type and group them into color-coded teams. How you use these features is up to the player. You may want to group your trains by the routes they travel, or perhaps separate them into long distance and commuter trains. It might certainly be a good idea to colour code passenger and freight trains separately, but that choice is yours and with the filter and sort options it’s very easy to set up.
The control is there, and the choices are yours. Experiment and develop your own system using the new tools provided, and then see at a glance how your network is operating.
Precise Layout Control
The new version of A-Train offers more control than ever. Track laying has been improved, trains can now have their own custom consist and speed settings, land can be raised and flattened within the game itself (at a cost).
It's your world, creating the perfect rail and road transport system has never been more satisfying.
Assets to Create Realistic Environments
Hundreds of new art assets are included in the game. From roadside elements such as post boxes and bus stands right up to suspension bridges, landmarks airports. You can now create detailed and interesting worlds alive with detail.
Realistic or Model Scaling
Massive areas of land to expand in to. View it all in 4K resolution (with a suitable monitor) and decide whether you want to use the new 1:1 scale modelling in the game which adds a new level of realism. Whether it's the big image or the fine details, A-Train 9 V4 Japan Rail Simulator has scale covered.

A-Train 9 V4.0: Japan Rail Simulator reviews and comments
Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
Microsoft from Deutsch
What shall I say? Once again A-Train. Since the first A-Train I like to play it again and again.
It keeps going on, because there is simply nothing better à la Trains and Weather Simulation on the Market.
But You have to admit very clearly that it is very special to Play. The special Fun of the Game is to build effectively beautiful Model Railways, to scoop a lot of Coal And finished.
In addition, it is very entry-unfriendly, although it is actually very banal, once you have the Hang of it.
That's why a few Beginner Tricks for Leiute, who want to profile it:-Actually, you can easily scoke a Lot of Coal over the Stock exchange: Stocks kaiufen as much as you can (is limited) if prices are below about 7 whatever, and sell again if you sell Over 15. Companies never go Bust. And each Stock goes up or down again at any time, and that doubles in the Range of up to 2.5 to about 23 = In each such stock Exchange Round doubles up to about eightfold your Assets. That's why always look that you still have enough Play money for Shares, miproxima 250,000 if no Shares are Owned.
-Once you have Money, you can build Stations, a few Factories at a Train station, bins at both. Let Klötzil Train go back and forth. + in Version 9, Roads build around the Stations.
Nice starts growing the House. Inspore mainly expensive Won and Office Houses build, later mainly High Buildings. And always as close as possible to the Stations. At First they are not profitable, but don't matter, the Profits will soon take to the Skies with 100% certainty. 1 High Building can easily make 30 Million/Year, a single Skyscraper up to over 100 Million/Year ...-Once there are even a few Huts around the Stations, Let passenger trains go back and forth. Doesn't Need much and the Trains are always full. (Maintenance) Costs of Trains are also completely intransparent, but actually quite simple: The Maintenance Costs are simply parallel to the Purchase prices. So the Selection is quite simple: As Cheap as possible and plenty of Space. 80-100 kmh Quick Are usually ok.
-So, already we have our Empire. Klötzchen Trains and also Klötzchen factories and Warehouses Are actually always red. Passenger Trains can generate profit. Doesn't Matter. Immoblils make Cash like crazy, with the Stock exchange you can quickly cut Billions. Deficit or Profitability of Trains, on the other Hand, are actually just coffee Poasses Monies ...
And now you can just play a Multibillionaire And build more or less as you like it and let the Profiteers grow into the Sky. Only that there are always enough blocks of building Everywhere You still have to look ...
And you can now, of course, also pursue your own Challenges, such as profitable Railways or Department Stores and so on ...
I like it again and again, anyway.
And as a last Tip, if you want to re-enter the A-Train World: Version 8 is more of a Track simpler and more entry-level. And above all, a lot cheaper than the already quite expensive 9, if you don't really know if you like it ...:)
Last Note: Technically, it's absolutely OK. Never had any Problem with any Version of A-Train.
