A license-free, open source, free of charge train driving simulator.

OpenBVE is a license-free, open source, free of charge train driving simulator. This program includes detailed per-car simulation of the brake systems, friction, air resistance, toppling and more. In 3D cabs, the driving experience is augmented with forces that shake your simulated body upon acceleration and braking, as well as in curves. Besides that, OpenBVE features a 3D positional sound system best enjoyed with surround speakers, train exteriors and timetables for the current run. 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. Compared to other simulators of the genre, especially compared to commercial games, OpenBVE has its main focus on realism, not necessarily on user-friendliness. 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. If you can identify with this focus, OpenBVE might be the right simulator for you.

Release Notes

DEPRECATION NOTICE: Please note that the next public build (v1.14 series) will deprecate the OpenGL 1.2 (legacy) renderer, meaning that GL4.1 will now be required. The new renderer is considerably faster in all cases, and allows for various things (particles, shadows, complex keyframe animations) not supported by the legacy renderer. OpenGL 4.1 is supported by all graphics cards, and most integrated graphics solutions from ~2012 onwards. Significant Changes:

  • Change: Update handling of incorrectly rooted paths.
  • Change: More improvements to object transformations. (Aditiya Afrizal)
  • Change: Improve compatibility with Hmmsim specific CSV route variant.
  • Change: When a Cylinder has an invalid number of faces, it is not shown when hacks are active. (Matches BVE2 / BVE4 behaviour)
  • Change: Update routefile compatability database.
  • Fix: Two further $Include related issues introduced in 1.13.0.3
  • New: Add Options.StartingDirection command.
  • BVE5: Don't attempt interpolation between two identical values.

Installer type: inno
