Open BVE Issues

[EdBakker]

Hello everone,

Apart from MSTS I also have OPEN BVE, I recently loaded it down on my laptop under windows 7
It runs well with all the add ons, but how does one add other routes, e.g. the NYC sub and English
routes, I have no idea.

Would appreciate anyone commenting on this.

That depends on how you installed it!
If you installed the addon that was Called "userdata_in_install_directory.zip", then the data files are in your home OpenBVE installation folder. If not, then it's probably in your My Documents folder.

You are looking for the following subfolder in the Userdata folder...LegacyContent.

Inside that you should see two familar looking subfolders...Railway and Train. Train Folders go under "Train" just like BVE 4.0. Under the "Railway" subfolder you'll find three more familar looking folders, Object, Route and Sound. Just like BVE 4.0, that's where you place the files for the routes you download for OpenBVE! OpenBVE can read and run both .rw and .csv routes, so using OpenBVE covers you from BVE 2.0 to 4.0! I generally put the docs for any routes in the railway folder and OpenBVE hasn't minded yet!

Trains...OpenBVE can run trains from BVE 2.0 to BVE 4.0, except those trains will not have external views. There seems to be two lines of train developement that I've noticed lately. Standalone trains...Trains that are a locomotive only or an engine and a few cars. They work great by themselves. Then there is another set that are intergrated, so that in order to run 1 train with 10 cars, you have to download all 11 "trains". Either seems to work great, but I still lean toward the traditional BVE or OpenBVE trains!

Thanks!

Open BVE Issues

Thanks CT

Everything is working ok now.
I just created a number of new files in the Open BVE director , such as Railways and Trains ( Railways off course with objects, routes, and sounds )
and it works fine.
I have just installed the Abderdeen route , it is running well, but I find with the various trains that I cannot see the speed on the bottom left of the
screen and cannot see the time. All I see F n n . Is that the way Open BVE works, or is there a solution to that.
Once thing I loved about BVE 2 you always got a new station announcement and you knew exactly where you were.
I also found , in the add ons , where I have a Budapest Tatra , where I find that the horn does not work. In BVE 2 or 4 it is something
I can fix myself I guess, but fixing addon trains wont be possible.
But... having said all that , I do like Open BVE. I am also returning to MSTS again soon.
It is a great hobby.

You can fix the horns in the OpenBVE compatible trains. Look in the Train's folder for Klaxon0.wav, Klaxon1.wav and Klaxon2.wav, then
you can check the Sound.cfg for these entries...

[Horn]
Primary = Klaxon1.wav
Secondary = Klaxon0.wav
Music = Klaxon2.wav

You can make sure there are the proper number of .wav files for the .cfg file, you can change the position of the various horns, or
you can change them for others! ;D

Thanks, Father!

hi all i have got open bve but it has gone slow i am on windows 7

[CTarana]

OpenBVE does have some issues with Windows7 and Vista. There are a variety of them from texture issues to performance-based ones. I'm assuming that the author is doing something about it for the next version.

Thanks, Busgames!
