Open Rails was originally created to replace the aging Microsoft Train Simulator that came out around 2001 while still using the same existing content.

Its main disadvantage is it is only superficially download-and-play friendly. Learning how the train and route files and folder system is supposed to be laid-out greatly helps in understanding how to add or modify content, and that's a learning curve if you have no technical aptitude.

I'm getting your content recommended so often, i thought i was subscribed already. Now i finally am :) Thanks for the video. I was just looking for an older train simulator to run on my second PC with Intel UHD 630. I was looking at OpenRails but gave a shot to Train Simulator. On lowest settings it looks exactly the same as OpenRails in your video, but i can play a wast amount more of content than what is available for OpenRails. Nevertheless, free is free so i can see myself installing it sometime in the future.
Thanks for subscribing. For games that people just make in their free time I think their both great. OpenBVE seems to have more content out of the two. When I was searching the web multiple sites came up with routes. I didn't want to feature these in-case by accident find a site with viruses and start passing that link onto people. These two and Maszyna which there's a video on the first look playlist are the best free train sims that I've come across. I wonder how many more there are out there though. I've found more that haven't been quite as good but I bet theres more little gems out there. Train Simulator is a good choice for older PC's. As you know there's many many not too expensive routes and it's allot easier to install than non steam games. What I used to recommend for lower hardware is Diesel Railcar Simulator which is a very good little sim from a single dev. Its getting a visual upgrade which you might have seen my vid on. The issue is that it's halved the FPS and theres a now question mark whats the lowest hardware it'll now run on. Either way, still a good game.
I had quiet a few routes for the first game. Still have them on disc. Good to see it again. The second one looks interesting, although does look weird that the whole train seems to move side to side [as if you could put it onto it's side lol].
I did randomly download the route and train on OpenBVE. There might be better trains with more details and maybe less movement. I suppose it depends on how the game works out physics. Hopefully some of them do have proper cab controls also. The biggest issue I noticed was key rebinding. If I set it before playing but it didn't take. However if I set each key whilst playing (Theres a different in-game menu) it did seem to work. But as I say in the vid these are both free games made by people in their spare time so I didn't want to dwell on the negatives too much. And looking from that perspective their both very good.
Your PC might be blocking the download perhaps? Right click the green button and choose save as to see if that helps. www.openrails.org/download/program/
Requested a key. Not given yet. I did look at the demo when it first came out and I liked it. There was then another demo which I downloaded 6 months, maybe a year later. I started to record gameplay but couldn't get past a certain place as the signal wouldn't go green. That I liked less so ditched the video. Maybe it was something I wasn't doing, who knows. I restated it a few times with the same result. If they give me a key it'll certainly be on the channel.
You can build scenarios and most of the routes using TSRE 5 - a route, consist and scenario editor for open rails. There are a few Indian tutorials on it but you will find them a bit difficult to follow because of the language barrier.
Do you mean this route? github.com/rickloader/NewForestRouteV3 If so it says it includes rolling stock "provided by others" in the copyright message at the bottom
It's been a while since I've played the game but from memory you create a folder on one of your drives. Maybe call it "open rail routes" and then choose a route to download. www.openrails.org/download/explore-content/ Download and extract the route into that folder. I would create a new sub-folder for each route you download so they're all separate from one another. Then you open the game and tell it to look for the "open rail" routes folder when looking for routes. The game should then see all of the routes you downloaded. Watch this part of the video for instructions th-cam.com/video/tgOTRXVMcfw/w-d-xo.html
No. Openrails is a free replacement for Microsoft Train Simulator. You can play old Microsoft Train Simulator routes on Openrails but Openrails also has new free routes for it also. So you do not need Microsoft Train Simulator or Microsoft Train Simulator routes to play.
It's always the problem with open source projects. If there isn't that much interest development will be slow. The more interest, the more people will want to develop for it and the momentum builds. It's survived till now so there'll likely be more updates but who know when.

For the MeCoast mainline it’s saying that the folder is empty when I try to extract it
Is it playable for low end pc
yes
why i cant install the openrails? i click download it doesnt show anything for me.

Is there a scenario builder?
I don't think so for either
@@bluewizard that is… sad?
Trainsimulations has a free route and a route editor for Open Rails on their site.
You can build scenarios and most of the routes using TSRE 5 - a route, consist and scenario editor for open rails.
There are a few Indian tutorials on it but you will find them a bit difficult to follow because of the language barrier.
I do Wonder if the new forest route on content section of downloads comes with any engines.
Do you mean this route?

If so it says it includes rolling stock "provided by others" in the copyright message at the bottom
@@bluewizard yep, i hope it would include Rolling stock, guess i was right

What are your specs how to get 60 fps
This video was made a few years ago and I don't recall the FPS. The pc I had back then was an i7 8th gen, gtx 1080, 32gb ram.

Good day... My English is not good, so I write through a translator. My question is whether you need Microsoft Train Simulator. Sincerely, Ae 6/6
No. Openrails is a free replacement for Microsoft Train Simulator.
You can play old Microsoft Train Simulator routes on Openrails but Openrails also has new free routes for it also. So you do not need Microsoft Train Simulator or Microsoft Train Simulator routes to play.
so far with my experience with BVE it's been pretty hit or miss but there is a lot of content regardless
And storage instensive
Difficult for me to comment as I haven't used it enough but good info for others though.
openbve has no exterior view?
Honestly can't remember.
It has, but not on very old trainsthay we're supposed to be played with bve 2 or 4
man, theyre still at 1.5.1? i hope someone made a fork and further improve this..
