openBVE
OpenBVE is an open source railway/train simulator designed to
be backwards compatible with existing 'BVE Trainsim' routes and cab
interiors.
The driving simulation is restricted to following a
pre-determined loaded route, with the focus being on the realism of the
train driving experience. OpenBVE also has an arcade mode where driving
style and timetable-keeping affect a running score.
The simulator is backwards compatible with existing 'BVE
Trainsim' route and train datafiles, which are readily available for no
cost.
Features include:
- Fully animated 3D cab environment with driver's body/head
model and motion simulation, and track inaccuracy suitable for
continuous welded and jointed rails
- External camera views
- Exterior car objects for the player's train, and visible
preceeding train (with suitably equipped openBVE add-ons)
- 3D object animation and texture shifting, via mathematical
functions (on suitably equipped routes and trains)
- 3D positional surround sound
- Enhanced graphics quality, filtering, transparent texture
handling, and customisable settings
- Ability to set any arbitrary display resolution,
windowed or fullscreen
- Three driving modes to provide differing levels of
challenge and driving assistance
- Optional motion blur effects
- Superelevation with interpolated cant
- Derailments and toppling due to excessive speed through
curves
- Simulation of certain atmospheric properties including air
resistance and barometric pressure
- Detailed braking system modelling
- Power, braking and forces simulated per car
- Support for animated objects
- Variety of trains that can be operated
either from a third-person external view or a first-person perspective,
with the latter positioning the user at the controls of the cab
- Support for BVE Trainsim
