AusRail Cab Sim MkII - 2022
Welcome to AusRail.
This is my blog/news site for my upgraded AusRail Cab Sim MkII, a simulated cab environment for BVE 5 and OpenBVE. The Mk1 Cab has been refined and built upon since early 2020.
"It is my vision to design and build a working loco cab interface, providing a much enhanced, immersive simulation experience than offered by current train sim controllers.
This system will feature the Arduino Leonardo programmable USB micro processor boards, along with switches, push buttons, rotary switches, LEDs, gauges to facilitate the simulated control system." - 2016.
