Free Train Simulator Openbve

16-09-2021 by

Rail transport is one of the oldest and most popular ways to travel or haul goods even today, but unfortunately and despite the years of evolution and accumulated knowledge it remains a source for disasters and tragedies. I would like to express my deep sympathy to the families of the 78 people who lost their lives on the Santiago de Compostela tracks this Wednesday and to the driver that lost his life yesterday when two trains collided in Granges-près-Marnand.

This new version of the R-142 subway train uses other directory names than old versions of R-142 that is wanted by some of the elderly routes. The old directory name used by was 'r142'. The new version uses the directory name R142OpenBVE 2012a (line 4), R142OpenBVE 2012b (line 2) and R142OpenBVE. The premier website for train sim fans!

By ravy145, error46146. LIRR Hempstead Branch v3.01. OpenBVE is a license-free, open source, free of charge train driving simulator. Runs most BVE content from third party providers. We are the fan subreddit for it. Here, you can discuss the development of routes and trains, discovering various new assets, and the overall concept of OpenBVE. Don't be afraid to post pics from the simulator too!

To better understand and familiarize with the rail transport system, rules, safety technology and special situations is important for every one of us regardless of our occupation, travel habits and endogenous fear and the best way to do so is by using open source simulator applications like the OpenBVE.

OpenBVE is a BVE Trainsim-inspired open source simulator that was developed from scratch. It supports interior and exterior train modeling and realistic movement physics inside a 3D scenery.

There is no actual aim for the simulator like the building of a transport company with tickets and strategic elements of any kind. You just choose the route and the locomotive and you are good to go. This selection, along with display and sound options, realism settings and previous game review can be found on the initial screen/launcher.

OpenBVE comes with the Redditch to Birmingham route and the Class 323 train by default

The simulator challenges the user to perform the driving of the train according to the rules and local speed limits while also making stops in each station allowing the passengers to board. There are many camera modes that will help you get the full driving experience and there is a certain freedom in their movement.

In the case that you will miss understand what you owe to do, or you just ignore speed limit signs and stop lights you will be notified by an indication or completely stopped by the integrated automatic train stop safety system. BVE ATS systems can also be used. Learn more…

When over speeding, the ATS will stop your train when you pass above the sensor

As shown on the last game’s review…

If your train doesn’t support ATS or you deactivated the safety system you will be most probably derailed when things become more jerky. There is also support for collisions and topplings.

A derailment was the sure to happen after ignoring everything in my way…

Can’t get any worse than that!

Apart from the default train and route that comes with the application, you can also download and use much more content. There are many places on the internet where addition routes and trains for the OpenBVE can be found, but I chose to dig in here. Every train and route has different characteristics and attributes that greatly expand the limits of experimentation with the simulator.

The downloaded train files must be uncompressed on /usr/share/games/bve/Train or …/Railway for extra routes. There is also an extra-content downloader found from within the launcher but in my case it couldn’t connect to the server.

As a simulator, OpenBVE lacks modern graphics and in-sim life but it does great in the physics sector. It doesn’t release often and the community behind it is not as big as this project deserves, but it will put you in the shoes of a train driver successfully allowing you to get the chance to know more about the railroad safety systems and trains.

BVE Trainsim (originally Boso View Express[1][2][3]) is a Japanese three-dimensional computer-based train simulator.[3] It is notable for focusing on providing an accurate driving experience[3][4][5] as viewed from inside the cab, rather than creating a network of other trains[6][7]—other trains passed along the route are only displayed as stationary objects.[3] BVE Trainsim was designed and developed by Takashi 'Mackoy' Kojima[8] starting in 1996[3] with the original program name coming from the Japanese 255 series multiple unit trains found in routes in Japan.

Although the internal working of the BVE Trainsim program itself cannot be modified, additional routes and train cab views can be added[4][5] via a number of text-based configuration files.[6] Route builders have produced over 300 additional routes for the program, along with matching cab environments. Routes built by independent developers simulate rail activity in Africa, Asia, North America, South America, and Europe.[9]

BVE Trainsim 1[edit]

BVE Trainsim 1 was released in 1996 as an Alpha version under the name Boso View Express[10] and 1999 as a Beta Version. This version, the first version of BVE to be produced, had an interface that was similar to BVE Trainsim 2, but did not have a logo. Instead, the official symbol of BVE up until the release of BVE 2 in 2001 featured the words: 暴走 VIEW EXPRESS.[11]

BVE Trainsim 2[edit]

The first stable version released in 2001. BVE Trainsim 2 featured ATS and ATC. The latest version of BVE 2 is ver. 2.6.3 which was released on 27 March 2004.

BVE Trainsim 3[edit]

Unreleased and later cancelled, BVE Trainsim 3 was originally started in 2003 as an improvement over BVE Trainsim 2, but was eventually stopped due to problems encountered with development of the aforementioned program.[11]

BVE Trainsim 4[edit]

BVE Trainsim 4, released in 2005, added support for plugins to simulate train safety systems other than ATS and ATC. Because of the cancellation of version three, this was the first follow-on stable version since version two. It also has better graphics than BVE 2 with the latter being a major update. The latest version of BVE 4 is ver. 4.2.1947.25355 which was released on 1 May 2005.

The London Transport Museum used BVE Trainsim 4 to provide a simulation platform, within a mock underground rolling stock of the London Underground 1996 Stock,[12] before later porting to openBVE in 2010.

BVE Trainsim 5[edit]

BVE Trainsim 5 was officially released on 5 September 2011 as the successor to BVE 4.

In July 2008, the developer stated that he was rewriting BVE Trainsim from scratch because the previously released versions (BVE 2 and BVE 4) do not work with DirectX 9, and that the new version would support Windows Vista and Windows 7.[13]

The first BVE 5 version (ver. 5.0.4265.3690) features a new format for storing train routes and route dependencies and a redesigned interface including a distance to next station indicator and a passenger comfort indicator. The latest version of BVE 5 is ver. 5.7.6224.40815 which was released on 17 March 2017.[14]

The BVE 5 download page also includes a route converter which can convert BVE 4 routes into a format recognised by BVE 5.

BVE Trainsim 6[edit]

BVE Trainsim 6 Release Candidate was announced and made available to the public as the successor to BVE 5 on June 21, 2020. Full release of BVE Trainsim 6 was made available on September 23, 2020.[15]

BVE 6 is released as a 64-bit application, allowing for scenarios with larger data sizes and support for Windows 10 and Windows 8.1. BVE 6 also features support for 64-bit plugins, a new format for vehicle files and support for non-vertical cab gauges.[16]

Included in the new release is the Uchibo Line Scenario, demonstrating the new features available in BVE 6. [17]

openBVE[edit]

openBVE 1.4.2
Openbve free play

openBVE is an independently developed open-source train simulator. Although the name and logo were originally based on BVE Trainsim, openBVE is free and open-source software developed and written from scratch. It features support for train exteriors, animated 3D cab environments and animated scenery. Internally, openBVE makes use of OpenGL for rendering, as well as OpenAL for three-dimensional positional audio.

Openbve Train Game

The program is noted for its cab ambiance and realism.[18] It is currently distributed in the public domain,[19] along with full C# and Csource code.

History[edit]

openBVE was originally conceived in 2009, as a free and open-source simulator, capable of running routes from BVE Trainsim, but with the eventual aim of loading content form other simulations, and the development of a separate route format. Initial development was done over four years from 2009 to 2013, by a team of four developers, lead by Michelle Boucquemont (michelle) and odakyufan. In 2007[timeframe?] most active development has ended, as the main developer Michelle Boucquemont ended her active work. Despite the lacking developer support, around 2009 openBVE was capable of running most BVE Trainsim routes correctly and also supported additional features, including an exterior view, animated 3D cabs, and animated objects.

To end the stalled development in October 2015 a continuation of OpenBVE was announced on BVEWorldwide by another group of developers.[20] The group transferred the development and codebase to a new repository on GitHub.[21] To date (May 2017), numerous additions were made by the project: new parameters for animated objects and the plugin API,[22] several unfixed errata from the previous openBVE 1.4.3 errata fixed,[23]Dynamic lighting and backgrounds added,[24] and a basic package format has been added to make the installation of addons easier.[25]
