wie gesagt, für Deutsch bin ich nicht zuständig. 5241 hat der Kollege aber hier abgelegt. Der letzte patch hatte ziemlich viele relevante Änderungen, ich will da da nur ungern übernehmen. Sofern sich der Kollege nicht mehr drum kümmern kann bzw. der Leidensdruck gar zu groß ist, könnte ich vielleicht temporär mal aushelfen.

available via:
https://www.a-train9.jp/patch.html#a9v5
I tried to compile Release notes at the Lexikon.
While the official Release Notes only state "bug fix" it contains much more, mainly the catchup with the western Release on Steam and the Train Kit 3.
English language patch has been updated and is available for download.

Patch 5620 für A-Train 9 V5.0 ist veröffentlicht worden und kann von der home page runtergeladen werden:
https://www.a-train9.jp/patch.html#a9v5
Eine inoffizielle Liste für release notes sind im Lexikon.
Während die offizielle Seite nur von bugfix spricht, sind doch sehr viel mehr Änderungen in dem patch enthalten, hauptsächlich, um mit dem Steam Release der Westlichen Welt gleichzuziehen und auch Train Kit 3 voll zu unterstützen.
Englischsprachiger patch steht bereit zum download.
Quick and dirty - aber nutzbar.
Scheint so, als ob in diesem Patch was anderes gepatcht wurde als bisher. Muss ich mir genauer anschauen (zumindest für den englischen patch).
Für Englisch kann ich hoffentlich eine neue Version diese Woche machen. Für deutsch bin ich nicht zuständig, macht der Kollege xD
Here we go, A-Train 9 V5.0 has been released to steam users to the western world.

There is a little note tho:
Please be aware that there are some content differences between the version of A Train 9 v5 released in your region, and the version released in Japan.
According to the Steam Community post, the Steam release includes 97 trains.
The japanese release came with 343 (including vehicle kit 3)
Train Kit 3 is available! 18 new trains boosting the game to 343 trains

I got ask recently if I could explain the timetable in A-Train 9 V5.0 for new players.
Took some days but I managed to upload to Youtube:
1. Basic Introduction into time tableing (sorry for low audio volume)
2. Setting a simple time table for 2 trains at one line
3. Adjusting those time tables to start and end day shift in yard
4. Run Around trains - locos switch end of trains
5. Merging and splitting 2 trains so they travel together as one train
(might add more on request but I think I covered almost all topics not self explanatory)
Playlist:
I skipped explaining the obvious options "Wait for Oncoming", "Wait for Arrival" and "Wait for Overtake" as well as Special Time table which you use when you want to have a different behavior of certain trains on same platform on different time frame (e.g. weekday vs. weekend).
PS: after the 4th video you should be able to understand how the earlier recorded video works.
Due to the lack of international forums I make this here bi-lingual, even if modern translation sites don't make it really necessary but maybe some search engines will have easier times finding this.
So "V5.0 Final Edition" is out in Japan for quite some time and - who was able to import, probably did. And applied unofficial English or German language patches. Who not, here is a quick summary:
After the game came out, some add on packs were released. At the end it contained 325 trains. If I remember correctly, V4 Masters Edition in Steam had 100 trains, most likely due to licensing.
However, There is a nice box sold as "V 5.0 DX" containing a thick book and all but one Add on (Train Kit 2).
in November 2024 V5 was released to Steam to Japan region plus the A-Train 9 Train Construction ("A9TC" for short) program, which is globally available. This game is advertised as "V5.0 DX+", most likely containing the Train Kit 2 which brings additional 25 trains to the game. Whats special with this release - you now can make your own trains and import them to the game. It also works with the boxed edition, provided the game is patched to build 5205.
Also end November 2024 ArtDink announced the international release of V5 to steam. But currently it is unclear to what extend the included trains will be.
For those interested, I just posted a link to the unofficial english translation of A Train 9 V5 Final Edition DX at the "A-Train EN Community" - Discord.
(might want to check here for source https://steamcommunity.com/app/278550/dis…42149936692985/ )
It might need still some tweaking here and there but it should be 99+% complete.
Also, I added some articles in English to the Lexicon. Might do more when in mood at some point.
Feedback is welcome.
Further plan is to make some english tutorials for beginners, and maybe introduce advanded tools and techniques at a later time. We will see.

Ahh, ein Lebenszeichen! Danke! Bei so vielen Kommunikationsplattformen weiß man manchmal nicht, wo man was schreiben soll oder nicht. Schnelllebige Welt.
Aber egal, nach langen hin und her hab ich heute die DX Version bestellt. Jetzt bin ich mal gespannt - und es heißt - warten.

Huhu,
bin eher wegen der Übersetzung der A-Train 9 V5 hier gelandet. Aber - spielt das irgendwer noch? Das Forum erscheint etwas ... ruhig ... und bei atrain9. de ists es wohl ähnlich ...
