If I may, I'll add a few comments as one of the people who were involved in the development of the new software for the simulators, and in the development of the exhibit as a whole in the first few years. But to those driving the 95s every day it didn't make a scrap of difference since they drove by 'look' and other things.Ī lot of the older forum members are getting a bit fed up with some of our 'know-it-all' youngsters who criticise destructively anything they happen not to find totally acceptable: these youngsters should be grateful for what IS available to them.Īnd, by the way, how can a 14 or 16 year old know how "unrealistic to the real thing" the sim is? Unless of course they have had the privilege of official cab-rides AND taken the controls?Īnd if you want brand new ones all you have to do is find the (huge amount of) money then donate it to the LTM - I'm sure they'll be ever-so-grateful. I know what I am talking about - I was privileged to spend a whole afternoon on the Northern sim at Edgware a couple of years ago, and even to me, an experienced diesel driver, the lack of 'feel' made it almost implssible to for me stop on the mark.

Secondly, the simulators are primarily designed for driver refreshers rather than initial training (to simulate impossible events like trees falling on front of trains.) so things like 'feel' and correct saound is irrelevant to those using it.

Please in your youthful igonrance will you stop slagging off stuff you don't understand in detail.įirstly, assuming the simulator (at great cost as mentioned above) was the same as deisgned for training drivers and you, the public ought to be grateful that such a thing was released for the LTM - I remember when the LTM 'simulator' was a black-and-white film behind a desk - no controls at all and just Kings Cross to Farringdon. E.G The signals what are at danger in the tunnels will allways be in the same place. Bve just is one block and the same thing will happen everytime you drive it.
The one at Neadson also has the ability to replicate faughts with the train. The one at Neasdon is using a custom made program built for the 1996 stock and not bve. Bve is a freeware, and to get a tod and spedo hooked up would cost a hell of a lot of money. Until then, the simulator will continue to run the 1995 stock and sound quite unrealistic. However I dont know when this will be released and it could be a long time yet. The 1996 stock for openbve is being made. I am using windows vista and managed to get bve 4 to work although it requires some major modification.

However this could have been to a upgrade of a computer to windows vista/ 7 then bve 4 (the old version) would not longer be able to run.
If the simulator was not upgraded it would be far more Realistic. If the 1996 stock was used then you would find that the train would quite litrally sound like a chipmunk!! The simulator is actully using a 1995 stock train to drive. Therefore the 1996 stock is now unable to function in openbve. The simulator is now been upgraded to openbve.
