JBSS BAHN is a shareware railway simulation software made by Jan Bochmann, a tramdriver in Dresden.〔(JB BAHN Webseite Autor (deutsch) )〕 The name of BAHN is written in capitals to make a distinction with the German word for railways ''Bahn''. JBSS is an abbreviation which stands for Jan Bochmann Software Saxony.〔(BAHN in Australia )〕 == Features == The layout files made with BAHN have a .nt3 extension〔(JB BAHN Editor-Software (deutsch) )〕 and can contain very complicated railway systems running thousands of trains and trams simultaneously together with many boats on waterways and cars. Although these two latter can also be simulated the main focus of the program remains on railway simulation. These complicated railway systems can also contain more than a thousand different signal systems, each containing different signals. Signals can be a part of different systems. BAHN has also the ability for shunting trains and railway cars. Trains can be split or merged. All these things can be done automatically. If there are collisions, delays or other things go bad, warnings appear through the "dispatcher telephone." The simulation is executed with its own timer which can be put faster or slower. A file consists of elements. One element can contain one railway element (straight track, curve, switch, etc.). The default setting for distances is 64 elements per kilometer. But it can be changed. The maximum is 90 elements/km and the minimum is 2 elements/km. The velocity of trains in the simulations consists of the setting of elements/km and the setting of the timer. A file of BAHN has 32768x32768 elements in five levels (1 surface level and 4 sub surface levels which are accessible through tunnels). The layout can be displayed in different scales. From 1:2048 to 2:1 the layout is displayed schematically, in 1:1 to 8:1 the graphics are shown. For 2:1 and 4:1 different and more detailed graphics, called Zoom 2 and Zoom 4, can be shown, if available. A simulation can be in opened several windows with a maximum of 6.〔(JB BAHN Neuheiten (deutsch) )〕〔(JB BAHN Info (deutsch) )〕〔(BAHN manual, p. 27 )〕 For making trains one can choose among more than 10,000 types of rolling stock, all in different colours. It is possible to make new types of vehicles which are not available. New vehicles can be made in BAHN itself, but there is also a free separate vehicle graphics editor available called ''NFZ editor'' made by the Russian Alexander S. Kunov. Older programs for editing are CAREDI and GE (Graphics Editor). These latter two are not much used anymore. Also many types of scenery are available and it is possible to make your own types. This can be done in BAHN. For previous BAHN versions a separate Graphics editor GE was used. It was only available as a beta release. User made graphics are stored in separate files with a .nfz and .fzz extension for vehicle graphics and .uzg extension for user made landscape graphics.〔(JB BAHN Editor-Software (deutsch) )〕 There are different language packages for BAHN, for instance German, English, French, Russian and Dutch. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「JBSS BAHN」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
