  1. Also, A New Open Source Train Sim has reached v1.0 by distantbody · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    openBVE has just reached v1.0.

    This free and open source 3D train simulator was born in April 2008 as a replacement to the popular freeware programs BVE Trainsim 2 & 4. The lack of compatibility between BVE Trainsim 2 & 4 routes and the developmental uncertainty of the 5th version (originally named Boso View Express by the sole Japanese developer Mackoy) lead one resolute user to start openBVE.

    The sole developer Michelle has done amazing work; openBVE beats out commercially available simulators in its ability to simulate starting resistance, inertia, curve resistance, gravity, toppling, coupling, air resistance, pressure, temperature and density, altitude, friction and wheel slip.
