Me Stuck!? (OpenBVE)

[transportphoto]

Hi All.

I have just been messed around downloading OPEN BVE on Vista.

Now I have the program working I can't seem to get any routes to work.

They have downloaded as '7Z Files' - what can I do?

Get 7-Zip.

 

[Jordy]

Its just a compression format like .ZIP

Ok - now I have got to the game play and it is very slow.

Why can't I seem to move out of a platform?!

Doors shut (I hear the shutting sound - boarding complete) so I press Z for power increase and there is no movement.

Please Give Some suggestions!

F for reverser into forward, space bar for DRA off, open your eyes and read the Quick Start, the list is endless.

dont forget hold down 2

Press (in this order) F, V, INS, 2 (Hold untill engine fires), F, < (untill brake is off), Space, Pg Down (a MUST do) then Z,Z,Z,Z,Z,Z after you have stalled press CTRL + ALT + DEL and shut yer PC down

or Z,Z,Z,A,Z,Z just keep the ammiter on the red line

good fun

Why would you want to press page down? And I think you mean INS not DEL (for cancelling AWS). Also worth noting that he may not be driving a loco so the instructions above may not be strictly relevant.

Page Down cancels out all the beeps and bongs so you can run reds and speed

if its a unit then dont bother with pressing A then just press Z, if its a combined PH then Q does the brakes not > and <

Ok -I gove up - still no movement.

I am trying to drive a Cl158 on B'ham Cross City - with default controlling settings!

HELP

Right Having another go - this time with a 390, screen shot:



Firstly I committed my first mistake and closed the doors early - but lets not worry about that!

DRA already off.

Then I pressed F and the indicator at the bottom left went from N to F,

Then I started to press Z and the power increase started notching away, but nothing happened!

What have I done wrong?

Have you done all the canceling out AWS and DRA by hitting the space bar and INS?

Right - cancelling out AWS - Keyboard Q?

DRA off at this point, whats INS for?

INS is for AWS, DEL is if you hear the "beep beep beep beep" but if you want to stop all this hit Page Down once, Q is to apply the brakes on the 390 and Voyger (< and > everything else)

Open bve is different to bve4

Don't know if this is any help but quite often after downloading a new OpenBVE route or train I find that I have to do a reboot of my computer to get the best frame rates and everything working fully!
