Microsoft Train Simulator Open Rails v.1.5.1
21 June 2023

Open Rails, a free train simulator that supports the world's largest range of digital content.
 
The project provides a train simulator for the largest collection of digital content in the world, routes, rolling stock, and activities, was initially developed for Microsoft's Train Simulator product.
 
Microsoft Train Simulator, which was launched in 2001, was very successful but Microsoft had several false starts at developing it further, and these came to an end in 2009.
 
However, Microsoft Train Simulator was an open platform, and a host of content both free and commercial has been developed for it.
 
Open Rails is a successor to Microsoft Train Simulator and runs the trains on routes built for Microsoft Train Simulator.
 
However, there are some differences worth discussing.
 
Open Rails uses more recent technology so it can take advantage of modern graphics processors.
 
This leads to higher frame rates, more colors and detail, larger displays, and smoother motion.
