The OpenBveAts Plugin

OpenBveAts is the default train plugin used by OpenBVE when trains lack their own plugin. It simulates a basic version of ATS-SN, ATS-P and ATC. If you want to use this plugin in your train, then simply don’t include the ats.cfg file. This plugin will then be used automatically.

■ 1. Panel Indices

The following panel indices are exposed:

ATS-SN

ATS-P

ATC speed indicator (panel index 271)

■ 2. Sounds

The following sound indices are exposed:

■ 3. Beacons

The following beacon types are supported:

Beacon Type 0 (S-Long)

When passing this beacon:

• If the signal is RED , the alarm will sound.
• The train’s safety system may switch modes, depending on the setting of Optional.

Beacon Type 1 (SN-Immediate Stop)

When passing this beacon:

• If the signal is RED , the emergency brakes will be applied immediately.
• The train’s safety system may switch modes, depending on the setting of Optional.

Beacon Type 2 (Accidental Departure)

When passing this beacon:

• If the signal is RED , the emergency brakes will be applied immediately.
• The train’s safety system may switch modes, depending on the setting of Optional.

Beacon Type 3 (ATS-P Pattern Renewal)

When passing this beacon:

• The current ATS-P patterm is renewed.
• The train’s safety system may switch modes, depending on the setting of Optional.

Beacon Type 4 (ATS-P Immediate Stop)

When passing this beacon:

• The current ATS-P patterm is renewed.
• If the signal is red and less than 50 meters away, the brakes are applied immediately and the brake application needs to be canceled manually.
• The train’s safety system may switch modes, depending on the setting of Optional.

■ 4. Special Beacons

Note: The following beacon types cannot be used directly in routes - They are automatically created by the CSV/RW parser to provide backward compatibility with ATS-P and ATC.

Beacon type 0xFF000001 (ATC track status)

Marks the status of ATC. The optional data has the following meaning:

Beacon type 0xFF000002 (ATC speed limit)

Sets up an ATC speed limit. The optional data has the following meaning:

Note: All speed limits in the entire route are communicated to the plugin at the beginning of the route, so the plugin keeps a database of known speed limits and then applies them as necessary.

Beacon type 0xFF000003 (ATS-P temporary speed limit)

Sets up an ATS-P temporary speed limit. The optional data has the following meaning:

Note: All speed limits in the entire route are communicated to the plugin at the beginning of the route, so the plugin keeps a database of known speed limits and then applies them as necessary.

Beacon type 0xFF000004 (ATS-P permanent speed limit)

Sets up an ATS-P permanent speed limit. The optional data is the speed limit in km/h.

■ 5. Keyboard Assignments

The OpenBveAts Plugin uses the following keyboard assignments:
