Something more...

Apart from the simulator updates, quite a lot is also happening behind the scenes. We are currently working on formalizing the development team — we’ve started the process of establishing an association that will help us organize the project’s future growth and cooperation with partners.

We also have something that might really catch your attention 👀 After discussions with SIM Factor S.A., we’ve begun moving towards broader cooperation and knowledge exchange. One of the potential outcomes is a project focused on recreating the Warsaw Metro within MaSzyna.

If everything goes according to plan, we could eventually see lines M1 and M2 along with stations, tunnels, infrastructure, and metro rolling stock as new content for the simulator. For now, this is still in the planning and development stage, but the direction is definitely exciting 🚇
