BVEC_ATS has been designed to be compatible with trains that previously used the Windows only OS_ATS plugin, and will attempt to automatically upgrade any existing OS_ATS1.cfg file. This page describes the supported parameters for BVEC_ATS.
\nWhilst I’ve deprecated some values, & there are minor functional differences, these should not detract from your driving experience.<\/p>\n

The configuration file is divided into sections, each one of which represents a supported device. An additional [KeyAssignments]<\/em> section may be appended to the end of the file in order to alter the default key assignments.
\nThere are three different types of devices:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Traction models- Only one traction model per train is supported.
    \n<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Safety systems- Vigilance devices, TPWS & AWS.<\/li>\n
  3. Miscellaneous devices- Traction interlocks and the windscreen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
