- Community Content Creation - We Want Your Feedback - 10 September 2026
Community Content Creation - We Want Your Feedback MaSzyna has always been developed not only by programmers, but also by people creating rolling stock, scenery, 3D models, textures, sounds and many other parts of the simulator. We are currently looking at ways to make community content creation easier to discover and easier to get into. This is not a recruitment post requiring you to become a permanent member of the development team. Even a single model, texture, sound, scenery improvement or small fix can be valuable to the project. We would like to hear directly from players who might be interested in creating something for MaSzyna. What would we like to know? If you are interested, please tell us in the comments: Would you be interested in creating content for MaSzyna?
