Hello! We're now at a stage of Train Simulator Classic's development process where we are ready to invite you to take part in Beta Testing the new improvements to the core builds. Your feedback from the last phase of development work was clear in that you wanted to be able to opt into the updates and leave yourself with a fallback option. So, this is how we'll proceed moving forward. You'll therefore need to opt into the Beta to try out the new features/bug fixes, etc. We provide full instructions further into this article - see the section on Opting in and Opting Out.

The Beta is planned to be what we call a "Rolling Beta". This means that the Beta will continue over a period of a year or more with the new features and fixes coming to the Beta first, and after receiving your feedback and any fixes applied, will then get rolled out to the Live Public branch. This process will continue throughout the Public Beta with builds coming in regularly depending on the work being done.
