    Many new trains and routes for openBVE at
    http://obts.wikia.com/wiki/OBTS_Addons

    Is this a standalone sim? I downloaded it but can't work out how to start driving. Not very intuitive :(

    Driving control keys for openBVE vary depending on the locomotive or MU;
    the basic control keys (assuming no custom train DLL is used) are:
    Reverser [Ff] [Vv]
    Brake     [,] [.] [/] for Trains With Seperate BrakePower Handles, Typical On Locomotives
           or [Qq] [!1]        for Trains With Combined BrakePower Handles, Typical On DMUs & EMUs
    Power    [Aa] [Zz]
    Klaxon    [Enter] [Pad+] [Pad-]

    For trains that use custom PlugIns aka DLLs, including many British and NewYork trains,
    there are "safeties" that require several Keys strokes to get the train moving;
    read the Plugin DLL  literature (TXT or PDF file) with those trains for help.

    Although openbve is promoted as "cross platform", it runs best under Windows,
    as some custom PlugInsDLLs do not work under Linux or Apple operating systems.
    Also the dependencies (.NET, OpenAL, etc) must be installed
    and the folders for the routes and trains must be arranged proper
    for the program to open and find the route & train files.

    See this webpage for help installing the dependencies, the program, and the folders:
    http://obts.wikia.com/wiki/OBTS_Wiki

    Questions:
    Which operating system are you using?
    Which version of openBVE are you using?
    Which train and route are you using?
