Well what are the features anyways and how advanced is it? • Direct OpenBVE/BVE Trainsim 2/4 routes/trains support, no conversion needed • Easy route/train importing • Accurate Train Simulation just like OpenBVE or Hmmsim • Proper Scenery Animations • And much much more There's even support Multiplayer play(which OpenBVE nor Hmmsim has), which allows for Online or Local LAN Network Multiplayer Play. More updates to come.
