This is quite a broad question which I'm sure has been asked before.
But what exactly is openBVE? How does it improve on BVE4?
And also, what the hell are 7Z files? I've never encountered them before, and my computer doesn't recognise them so I'm unable to extract the routes (I was following the guide on railsimroutes exactly). Anyone help?
I've just got a new computer so I'm starting from scratch with BVE on it. I've just spent ages installing all the trains for BVE4 again. Would there be any advantages to doing openBVE as well, if I can get the 7Z thingies to work?
Cheers.
EDIT: Now I can't get BVE4 to work either. Stupid thing. It opens (after a bit of a fashion) but just get a box saying various things failed to load, and then a white screen. So I've deleted absolutely everything off the computer again. Can someone please give me an idiot-proof step by step instruction of how to do all this, either with BVE4 or openBVE. I'll owe you so much. Thanks.
