openBVE with Large Address Aware (Windows, OS X)

[-CT1660-]

This is pretty much a modified variant of openBVE which is large address aware enabled. Basically, it allows openBVE and the developer tools to be able to use more than 2GB of installed RAM for systems that have more than 2GB of RAM.

Additionally, i've been hard at work trying to make openBVE easier to set up and use on Mac OS X systems. I will later on create a simple installer for the Windows version, as for now, it can be downloaded as a 7zip file. I'll later upload a variant with the installers for the dependencies for the Windows version.

As for linux, it's going to take a while as i would need to know which flavor of linux is used more commonly for openBVE.

CT1660,

Thanks for your hard work developing the openBVE program; I've experienced roughly 33% FPS improvement with your version 143a.

One item I've noticed while using version 143a, for the trains that have detailed couplers

(for example American trains with knuckle couplers or British/European trains with screw couplers)

there is no "slack action" (knuckles or chains with varying tension/slack) as there was in previous versions.

Wondering if you intentionally removed this feature in your effort to increase FPS rates? 

I enjoyed watching closeups of the coupler action as the trains went down the track, but understand if this was sacrificed for improved FPS.

 

Also, a new OpenBVE version 2Beta by a Hungarian author has recently appeared at this link

There is associated discussion on the Hungarian forum at this link

The program has bugs and crashes on my PC, but wondering what you thought about it?

 

Thanks again
