Version 1.5.9:
Global changes:
● New features for a service station.
● Improved the big navigator screen.
● Changing the weather, time of day or traffic density right during the driving.
● New city exam.
Small changes:
● Added Canadian localization: new emergency vehicles, road signs, license plates, fines, a “special” right turn a red light.
● Added a new all-metal cargo van with automatic transmission in 2 versions: freight and freight-passenger, with the option of driving with a trailer.
● Added an automatic transmission for the SUV.

● Made the virtual world more realistic.
● Optimized graphics and performance.
● Fixed the problem with jerky traffic.
● Updated German localization.
● Made the traffic sound even more realistic.
● Made ban reasons more obvious and clear in the “City test” mission.
● Adjusted the lane change danger criteria, so that you are less likely to receive fines for interference another vehicle.
● Removed the wrong fine for driving in the oncoming direction, which you could get in the mountains area, when drive around the obstacle in front of the tunnel.
● Now it’s easier to get the 3rd star in the advanced mode of the exercise “Country driving”.
● Also now it's easier to get the star "Fastest of All" in the exercise "City test".
● Fixed the coolant overheat indicator on the dashboard.
● Fixed the unjust fine "Driving in a forbidden direction" after driving through some intersections in the third lane.
● Improved sensitivity of gamepads - now it is not too high and not too low, but just as it should be.
● Fixed a bug with withdrawing too many rating points after the transportation finishes.
● Improved the semantic and corrected some translation inaccuracies.
● Now you can safely turn left from Dawn St. to University Av. - you will not be penalized for this!

Version 1.5.8:
Global changes:
● Training in goods transportation with a passenger car.

● Traffic cars increasingly make way for the player with priority at intersections, properly pass one another (they less bump and less stand on the road unreasonably);
● Quantity of cars and pedestrians now corresponds to the density of each area (also fixed large number of cars on the highway when traffic density is set to low);
● Traffic cars acceleration and deceleration now matches the characteristics of real cars (fixed unnatural, sharp acceleration and deceleration);
● Driving behavior of traffic cars is more satisfied to the selected type of traffic (calm, aggressive, etc.). This is reflected in the average speed (for example, when you select the aggressive behavior of traffic cars, they drive much faster in the left lane of the highway);

● Now traffic cars switch on the turn signal on roundabouts according to following recommendations:
- If the traffic car drives off the roundabout in the first ramp: it drives in the roundabout and drives along the roundabout with the right turn signal;
- If the traffic car needs to drive for about half of the roundabout: it drives in the roundabout and drives along the roundabout with none of turn signals;
- If the traffic car needs to drive for almost the entire roundabout: it drives in the roundabout and drives along the roundabout with the left turn signal;
- When the traffic car drives off the roundabout: it switches on the right turn signal.
