This version, the first version of BVE to be produced, had an interface that was similar to BVE Trainsim 2, but did not have a logo.

BVE Trainsim 1 īVE Trainsim 1 was released in 1996 as an Alpha version under the name Boso View Express and 1999 as a Beta Version. Routes built by independent developers simulate rail activity in Africa, Asia, North America, South America, and Europe. Route builders have produced over 300 additional routes for the program, along with matching cab environments. Īlthough the internal working of the BVE Trainsim program itself cannot be modified, additional routes and train cab views can be added via a number of text-based configuration files. BVE Trainsim was designed and developed by Takashi 'Mackoy' Kojima starting in 1996 with the original program name coming from the Japanese 255 series multiple unit trains found in routes in Japan.

other trains passed along the route are only displayed as stationary objects. It is notable for focusing on providing an accurate driving experience as viewed from inside the cab, rather than creating a network of other trains BVE Trainsim (originally Boso View Express ) is a Japanese three-dimensional computer-based train simulator.
