Hey everyone! Time for a brand-new roadmap! As always, there's a lot to cover, so there's something for everyone :D
Unfortunately, there's no further Almtalbahn update this time, but be sure to check back in the future – we're working hard on it.

Before we begin: Set yourself a reminder for this Friday, because you might already be able to get your hands on one or two of the things presented here!

First up, the new and exciting mods:

ÖBB 1016 / 1116 EP - FTS x Prototype001 - Coming Friday!

This project originally started out of boredom, but it has grown into something much bigger over time.
A lot has changed: new liveries, display improvements, a brand-new MFA, and smaller additions such as unfoldable mirrors.

Of course, that's not all. We're incredibly proud of this project and can't wait to show you all the changes!

Changed and added:

• Around 40 new liveries, including the ESC 2026 livery, which was showed earlier this year, various Railjets, Rail Cargo Austria locomotives, advertising liveries, and much more!
• Display Lighting Feature – The displays now illuminate at night instead of looking like printed paper.
• 2 new display functions. The clock, accessible by pressing UD, and the interesting Audio Test screen, which can be accessed via the Audio button. Have fun discovering the hidden little features! :)
• Extendable mirrors (reflections may follow in a future update)
• A completely new MFA for each variant with individual changes depending on the selected system and door system
• Various smaller improvements such as new decals and a nice little Easter eggs^^

ÖBB 4024 Expansion Pack - FTS x Friends - Coming Friday!

The one you've all been waiting for! The 4024 in all its glory. Countless new liveries, updated cabs, and much more are waiting for you!
I'm incredibly proud of this project and can't wait to finally show it to you!

So, what's new?

• Salzburg–Rosenheim, S-Bahn Vorarlberg, and the Semmeringbahn have all received new, matching liveries. Cityjet, S-Bahn, regional liveries (e.g. Upper Austria, Salzburg, Tyrol, and many more), as well as advertising liveries.
• Both the 4023 (Salzburg–Rosenheim) and the 4124 (Semmeringbahn) have been added with their own customized driver's cabs (provided by Swing Swong
• Immersion is important to me, so advertisements, Railaxed magazines, and passenger information displays for the Cityjet variants have been added to the interior.
• Cameras! CCTV inside the driver's cab in collaboration with Evolinox
• Many new MFD pages, including configuration and maintenance screens.
• Updated sounds – a new startup sound, a new macro (provided by Maggus, thank you!), and new aggregate sounds.
• New lights? Redstoneia worked some magic and created brand-new lights for the 4024, making the unit look great even at night.
• Substitution for the appropriate routes and regional liveries.
• Guard Mode, for when driving gets a little too boring (only avaiable on modded-TTs)

Semmeringbahn Scenery EP - Coming Friday!

A completely new project, not announced or leaked ever before. In coorporation with Nimaexus ' SBN 2026 TT, I decided to work on a scenery Enhancement Mod which adds many neccessarey details to the route and it's stations - again with some cool things that have already been in the SRM Scenery EP^^

The following has changed for this route:

• The scenery has been improved along the entire route.
• New route maps have been placed all along the line – can you find them all?
• Updated station signs in Wiener Neustadt, Gloggnitz, Payerbach-Reichenau, and Mürzzuschlag.
• Missing 3D models have been added, especially in Payerbach-Reichenau.
• Older ÖBB platform displays have been added to Wiener Neustadt and Mürzzuschlag. Thanks to TaurusCB for the models!
• Departure boards and various other ÖBB station assets have been added to several stations.
• Forest density has been adjusted.
• Südbahn Museum in Mürzzuschlag has been added.
• Period-accurate construction sites have been added along the entire route. Trust me, I would've preferred not to do that.

Updates? Updates. These projects have received some extra polish and love:

ÖBB 5022 - Released!

Once again, the 5022 has received some updates. But what changed?

• Display lighting brightness adjusted.
• Advertisements have been replaced.

ÖBB 1293 - Released!

A new member has joined the Vectron livery collection. But which one?

• Added the "Vectron Nr. 2000" livery [1293 164-0]

Projects with no new updates to share but still in development:

• Almtalbahn
• Salzburg-Rosenheim Scenery EP
• Eurofima Expansion Update
  *and more...

That's it for all the changes and exciting new mods. Stay tuned for upcoming updates!
