Not sure if anyone had seen this so I thought I would post it. This is translated from the original page at: http://mackoy.cool.ne.jp/bve5/
About the development of BVE Trainsim 5
Before of the BVE Trainsim 4, because up-to-date Windows (Windows Vista) it does not operate at on, makes BVE Trainsim which operates even on Windows Vista.
As for BVE Trainsim 4, why not operating on Windows Vista?
Before DirectX7, there was a mode of 2 types in Direct3D.
Directly mode (IM: Immediatte Mode) With hold mode (RM: Retained Mode) Is.
Up to BVE Trainsim 4, hold mode is used.
After DirectX8, hold mode was abolished, but operation of hold mode was supported to DirectX9.
With DirectX10 which has entered into Windows Vista, hold mode stopped being supported.
Not being able to remodel BVE Trainsim 4?
Directly because with mode and hold mode concept differs completely, large-scale kind of remodelling which changes the structure of the program is necessary.
Because remodelling is difficult, it is about you rewrite from the white paper.
The main Advanced Capability of BVE Trainsim 5 (schedule)
* It corresponds to Windows Vista
* The enlargement degree of freedom with the classification popularization of the structure
* Alpha channel of texture (translucency) correspondence
* With x file expansion of active effect
* Reappearance of Shin step of motor combination
* Reappearance of electric current
* In addition, high-level customization of vehicle quality (correspondence to Shinkansen and monorail and the like)
