What I support
I support the BVE Developer Guidelines. These guidelines were established to ensure the fairness in developing BVE addons and certain rules you must follow when developing addons.
I also support the BVE Tracksound Standard even though I don't produce mainline trains. Even though I'm not a mainline train developer I encourage all developers to adopt the standard in their trains. Click on the banner to find out more information.

What is BVE?
Don't know what BVE is? Let me tell you.
BVE or Boso View Express is a train simulator written by a Japanese bloke nicknamed ''Mackoy''. It and along with all the addons for it are free. BVE comes in 2 versions and the latest version (BVE4) can simulate various train safety features like AWS, ATS and TPWS. BVE addons are avaliable for a variety of Countries like U.K, Hong Kong, Germany, Italy, USA and Brazil. To download the simulator go to Mackoy's website. For help installing and running BVE and its addons, I recommend the great guide at Trainsimcentral's help page and Anthony Bowden's Railsimroutes help page as they offer really descriptive and helpful guides. BVE offers really good routes and trains for the various subways in the world such as the Hong Kong MTR, London Underground and New York City Subway. But there are also excellent mainline routes also avaliable for all countries. Excellent realistic trains to go with the routes are also avaliable for a wide variety of countries. Recently a new open source version of open BVE designed by michelle named OpenBVE was released. This new version adds new features such as exterior views, animated objects and a whole lot of new features. With the evolvement of OpenBVE, animated exterior objects and 3D cabs are now becoming part of the development process
