Change: Significant updates to the compatability hacks database. New: Add borderless windowed fullscreen. New: Add basic AI for several legacy Win32 plugins. New: Add EmissiveAll and ColorAll commands for use in B3D / CSV objects. If playing on Windows, with a supported screen reader, in-game messages are announced. Significantly improved DenshaDeGo! controller support, with several new types. Routes from the legacy DOS simulator Mechanik are now supported! Please see for further details. Now, we’ve finally made that dream a reality, with support for routes from the legacy DOS based simulator Mechanik added. Adding support for some new object and texture types was the first tiny step along this road, but this wasn’t enough…. Many, many years ago michelle, one of the initial developers of OpenBVE expressed a desire for this simulation to move beyond it’s roots, and to load content from other simulations. If you can identify with this focus, OpenBVE might be the right simulator for you.ġ.8.1.0 Stable () Current News & Updates: You should be willing to study operational manuals for the routes and trains you want to drive, and will in many cases not get along by just memorizing a few keystrokes. Finally, via the main menu, routes and trains be easily selected to start a new session, the controls can be configured to keyboard or joystick devices, and a variety of options can be selected.Ĭompared to other simulators of the genre, especially compared to commercial games, OpenBVE has its main focus on realism, not necessarily on user-friendliness.
Besides that, OpenBVE features a 3D positional sound system best enjoyed with surround speakers, train exteriors and timetables for the current run. In 3D cabs, the driving experience is augmented with forces that shake your simulated body upon acceleration and braking, as well as in curves. This program includes detailed per-car simulation of the brake systems, friction, air resistance, toppling and more. This is the home of OpenBVE, a license-free, open source, free of charge train driving simulator.
