What is openBVE?
OpenBVE is considered a free, open source railway simulator. It allows you to take charge of a locomotive and lead it through a designed route. These routes are created by enthusiasts from around the Globe; the community gives these addons out for free. However, there might be some author-designed rules that have to be observed.

The sim is currently being developed and enhanced by Chris Lees and downloads (new versions of the sim) can be found on his website http://openbve-project.net/, Should you have any questions, please visit the BVE WorldWide forum, which has become the main communication channel of the community.
