BVE Trainsim
(ver 4.2.1947.25355)
Freeware


BVE stands for "Boso View Express".  It is a Japanese 
three-dimensional computer-based train simulator, which is 
notable for focusing on providing an accurate driving experience 
as viewed from inside the cab.  Other trains passed along the 
route are only displayed as stationary objects. 

BVE Trainsim was designed and developed by Takashi "Mackoy" Kojima, 
with the original program name coming from the Japanese 255 series 
multiple unit trains found in routes in Japan.  

Although the internal working of the BVE Trainsim program itself 
cannot be modified, additional routes and train cab views can be 
added via a number of text-based configuration files.  

BVE Trainsim 4 was released in 2005, and adds support for plugins 
to simulate train safety systems other than ATS and ATC.  It is also 
the LAST version that will work under Windows 2000 (it uses DirectX 8, 
and dot-NET 1, which Win2k fully supports).
