EEP 15 is the fifteenth part of the Eisenbahn.exe Professional series of railway simulators. Studio Trend Redaktions- und Verlagsgesellschaft mbH is responsible for game production. As in the previous parts of the game, the emphasis was placed on the aspect of expanding the own railway network.
### Mechanics
The core of the gameplay in EEP 15 is the development of its own railway network. There are a number of tools at your disposal that allow you to freely shape your own map and fill it with a number of different types of buildings and elements of the environment, such as plants or animals. For ease of use, the objects implemented in the game are divided into two categories: new and old.
Then the player can create a communication network consisting not only of trains, but also other means of transport such as trams or planes. For this purpose, an extensive editor has been created, which allows you to modify routes in 2D and 3D. Of course, it is also important to make sure that the traffic runs as smoothly as possible. That is why a number of objects have been put at the player’s disposal, which will allow for effective traffic management.
After the edition is finished, the player can observe their work. In order to make it easier to control the rolling stock moving on the map, a GPS system has been implemented indicating the exact position of each warehouse. Nothing stands in the way of the player playing the engineer himself and leading the train through the map created by himself.
For users who are not interested in expanding the map, ready-made scenarios have also been prepared, thanks to which you can immediately sit in the driver’s cab.
### Technical issues
EEP 15 places great emphasis on the realism of simulation. The game features day and night mode and dynamically changing weather conditions. This is made possible by the graphical engine, which was also used in the previous part of the series – EEP 14.
