I'm a big fan of the 323, although I've never been on one, I have seen a few and from what I can tell it's pretty damn realistic. All round nice unit to drive as well

Class 321, Class 334 (Only available to Me and couple others:P) 1995 Stock, Class 170, Class 66 and the Class 67 is OK could be far better as they don't sound like that from the cab.

Please could someone tell me if those MTU HST sounds are in someway compatible with the BVE4 HST as well, or is it just specifically for the Open BVE version?

on BVE4 the screen is just blank it only works with openBVE, IMO you could have a mess about with the cab and change it to one you have taken that may work but Im not too sure

The 323 is awesome, crazy fast, gotta be faster than all the DMUs and only slower than the Pendolino in terms of topspeed.

Also the 314 of course :D Even though it's a BVE2 object it's very realistic, and I prefer BVE2 objects anyway they give much better framerates.

The 421 is a lot faster and in real life a lot older like 1950s. I do drive that a lot, although the sounds are a bit odd. It sounds real good when going 40mph+ but below that its very quiet etc

My favourite all round traction has to be the 170 and 323, although I don't mind driving anything on BVE4 - I've yet to drive a 58 or a 334.
That being said, when they get released sometime as they're probably been cancelled with no notice are the 313, 317 and 365 trains for bve4 which after seeing/hearing betas makes me hungry for their release - certainly am looking forward to using the 313 on the 323 diagrams, the 317/365 on the more semi express to express workings, :D

I have a new favourite, although it's slowish and makes me late unless I brake hard, the 321 is good because of the clunk sound of the brake lever and stuff.

Has anyone managed to convert the Open BVE version of the Class 334 for BVE4 use?

Sounds good, I would also like to see a 314 made up... but then again they're so similar to 313s anyway.

I think the 143 'Pacer' is the best for openBVE - it squeals and bounces about just like the real thing! What i've got rather annoyed with is units like the 321s, you can't hear the traction motors!

But you can't hear them from the cab - and that's what it is, a cab view sim.

If you want a view from outside the cab, I would suggest MSTS or Trainz, the reason I went with BVE 4 is the realistic experience it brings from the AWS to the TPWS to the DRA, it's so realistic - one of the drivers at work thought it to be far better then the £Million plus simulators at Hornsey!

Still, I have tried Open BVE and couldn't get it working - got a virus with the files instead!

MSTS and Trainz are crap!!!

The sounds, inside and outside sound awful! Thats why I don't play em any more.

Some of the BVE trains sound as if you are really there. Just a shame about the graphics...
