    Class 67 Released!

    The point stands only if your premise is true - that a little extra time and effort could have resulted in a better train. So how exactly do you know that? If you're talking about cab photos and realistic sounds, please explain, in detail, how the developer was supposed to get his hands on...

    Class 67 Released!

    Okay, so let’s propose for a minute that the work of people like Martin Corbett and Zane Saxton represents the gold standard other train developers should aspire to. They certainly have released some fantastic work. Problem: as has been said before, they focused on trains where their jobs...

    Can you use the attachment in Simon_G's last post in http://www.trainsimcentral.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1921&p=16700#p16700 ?

    HAL...Help Me!

    HAL means hardware acceleration. If BVE can't access it, a number of functions that would normally be carried out by your graphics card have do be done in software mode instead, which will slow BVE down quite a bit. You may be able to solve this problem by updating your graphics card driver. I...

    Grey-Yellow Textures Problem

    A new simulator that can read the BVE route files. It's still in development, but a test version can be downloaded. http://openbve.zxq.net/ http://www.railforums.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17781

    Grey-Yellow Textures Problem

    Have you tried openBVE?

    Tyne Valley 156.

    There are easy ways to get around this problem - for instance, just install a new train somewhere other than the BVE 4 train directory first, then change train folder names as needed, and finally move the new train where it's supposed to go - and if you're worried about an accidental overwrite...

    Newbie: How Do i Tilt Trains? :S

    Sounds like you have BRR's 'Alternative Paths' options turned on. In the 'Starting options' screen, set the chance to 0%.

    1st Time Developer - Assistance Required!

    Basically correct. 8 bit is not as important, but it can help older computers. If you do save the image with that color depth, sometimes the blue part is not saved as clear blue, 0,0,255, but something like 2,4,252, so you might have to edit the palette. What's really important is that each side...

    Re Class 143 Pacer: This train uses panels with a non-standard width. Try using MS Paint (Menu: Image\Attributes) to increase the width of panel_wide.bmp and panel_wide_n.bmp to 2048. If that doesn't work: the train does come with (smaller) alternate panels. Go into panel.cfg and set...

    How to run BVE4 under Windows Vista x86 and x64 and Windows 7

    What you're loading in your screenshot is a BVE 2 route (as are all routes from BVEBrasil.com.br). Some BVE 2 routes produce exactly this kind of error message when you run them in BVE 4 (although the graphics problems are not usually that severe). Does the same problem occur with genuine BVE 4...

    Class 455

    You don't have to move any files around - in fact, you'll cause problems if you do. The train is configured in such a way that the run sounds are expected in .../sounds/run, the engine sounds in /sounds/motor and so forth. If you like, take a look at sound.cfg and you'll see what I mean. The...

    High Speed Rail Link

    Hmm ... I suppose you could run the freight trains at night when there are no or few passenger services, but there would be problems - for instance, many high speed lines feature steeper gradients than most freights could handle. I've never heard of anyone actually running heavy freight on...

    High Speed Rail Link

    There are high speed lines in many European countries, not just in Germany as the post above suggests. This is probably not a bad start: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail_in_Europe A lot of high speed lines are dedicated (for instance, all such lines in France), but I'm not sure if...

    BVE 4 to BVE 2 Train Conversions

    I believe that, but I still think you need to run these combos of BVE 2 route and BVE 4 train in BVE 4. Why don't we continue this argument once you have reinstalled BVE?
