About This Content One of the most unique, and uniquely fastest, trains comes to Train Simulator, courtesy of Union Workshop – the Shanghai Maglev.The Shanghai Maglev Train, also known as the Transrapid, uses magnetic levitation to move without the need to touch the ground or use wheels on rails, giving it a much smoother and quieter ride than wheeled mass transit systems. The Transrapid is also the fastest commercial train currently in operation, with a top operating speed of 430 km/h (270mph), although the train recorded 501 km/h (311mph) during testing.Unhampered by intermediate station stops or any other kind of traffic on the line, Maglevs operate a regular service at 15 minute intervals from morning to night, with a capacity for 574 passengers in each consist. The built-in ATO system, which allows the driver to hand complete control over to the Maglev’s electronic control systems, allows the service to operate automatically over the entire journey, including switching lines at the end and returning on the opposite track. This all means that the Transrapid can manage without certain commonplace railway items such as colour light signals, a horn or even windscreen wipers.Despite years of development and many failed Maglev projects, only three commercial systems operate today. Shanghai’s Transrapid began operations in April 2004, with Japan’s introduction of a low-speed line coming less than a year later; most recently, in February 2016, South Korea introduced the Incheon Airport Maglev.The Shanghai Maglev for Train Simulator, developed by Union Workshop, recreates the 30km (19 mile) route from Pudong International Airport to Longyang Road station, Pudong, complete with realistically recreated switching junctions. The train itself features a detailed cab and passenger view, and a simulation of the ATO system allowing automatic train control if required.ScenariosSix scenarios for the route:Early Morning Train Round TripThe Advantage of ATOParallel OperationLast Service of the DayA Foggy MorningHeavy Rain, Watch Out!More scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

It has next to no content (2 stations - 8 minutes), looks like alpha release, and ATO (Automatic train operation?) doesn't work. My first steam refund request.. This is a VERY SHORT route. Textures are low. Neither the train nor route are available in any other mode except 'Career' mode. I repeat 'There is no free roam. You have only career missions. Very short route.'Not worth the 18+ euros.. amazing. Very disappointed. Was expecting to get what was worth $20 but end up with loads of ATO error. Worst DLC ever.. Literally a half-finished train which drives itself, and a single line which consists only of flat Chinese motorway and two stations.When I say it is unfinished, I mean half the cab is empty room and it doesn't even have windscreen wipers. The signalling system essentially fully automates the entire train, all you have to do is open and close the doors.. IGNORE THE HATERS!This route is AMAZING, especially because it has a working ATO system,The only problem is the train cannot be driven outside the route due to the way the ATO system locks the train at a max speed. I have no way of getting around thisOverall, this is an amazing route and should be bought. I am a chinese who live in Shanghai and I have taken the maglev for many times. I think this route is very real. It's true that the real route is very short(30km) and it takes 8 min in the real world. But there is no fun in the game's route because each time when I reach 430km\/s then comes the speed limit with 200km\/s immediately. And I don't know how to shut down the ATO system completely to get the maximum speed(which is said 501km\/h during testing?).\u6211\u662f\u4e2d\u56fd\u4eba\uff0c\u8001\u5916\u4e0d\u7528\u518d\u95ee\u4e86\u3002
