I’m pleased to have finally got around to uploading a couple more heritage releases that have been on my TODO list for quite some time!

• The BR Class 31- http://www.bvecornwall.co.uk/wordpress/br-class-31/
• The Class 104 DMU in a variety of livery variations- http://www.bvecornwall.co.uk/wordpress/br-class-104-dmu/
• The Class 108 DMU in a variety of livery variations- http://www.bvecornwall.co.uk/wordpress/br-class-108-dmu/

These were originally hosted on BVETMD, and are courtesy of Martin Corbett- Thanks!

I’m pleased to announce the upload of one further heritage UK route: Richard Helliwell’s Northern Heights.

This is a semi-fictional London Underground run through the North London country side, linking The High Barnet Branch to the Edgware Branch.

I’m pleased to announce the re-upload of three new heritage routes, but with a twist!

This time, they’re German, courtesy of Martin Finken. The three routes are as follows:

• Line 10/ Linie 11: A suburban tram route.
• The Bergbahn: A narrow gauge mountain line inspired by the Swiss Gornegratbahn.
• The Mühlkreisbahn: A German / Austrian countryside route.

I’m aiming to have a few more routes in a similar vein uploaded over the next month or so.

The BR Class 52: Western is the third high-quality 3D train I’ve built.

This time, it’s one of the diesels, which replaced steam in the mid to late 1960s.

This loco requires a build of openBVE dated 03.06.2016 or later from http://www.openbve-project.net

Features include:

• Realistic twin-engine traction modelling
• Working turbocharger
• A complete (Well, at least relatively…..) prototypical startup sequence
• Working cab fault lights

More details and download are on this page.

As readers of the various forums will probably know by now, over the last 9 months or so, I’ve been doing a lot of work to improve the main openBVE source.

In a lot of places, this hadn’t been touched for the better part of 7 years (Since Michelle left….), and there are multiple things that we simply couldn’t do.

I’m now the maintainer of the following site:
http://www.openbve-project.net

All future releases from BVE Cornwall will be designed to take advantage of the new features provided by these builds, which include:

• Properly moving bogies, with no physics based hacks.
• An easy graphical installer for route and train packages.
• Improved animation functions.
• Improved train plugin functions.

All the routes and trains hosted here will be re-done into packaged format (Eventually!)

If you’ve got ideas on how to take this simulator forwards, or would like to help code, please get in touch- We’d love to hear from you!

I’m pleased to announce the re-release of a third heritage BVE route 🙂

This time, it’s ‘Clarendon’ by Dennis Lance.

Like the other two heritage routes hosted here, I’ve done a small amount of work- The signalling has been swapped for BRSigs_Open, and the transparency errors have been repaired, but otherwise the route is essentially untouched from that released ten years ago!
