Since 2011, Mackoy has tried & failed to give better explanation on how to develop scenarios for BVE 5 and beyond. I don't blame him, it's a free game and updates take time. Now 3rd party scenario devs are writing programs that help in relation with vehicle creation and route creation of course! The only thing is that, it's all in Japanese. Here are the updated list of programs that Japanese devs use for the newer 5.6 version of BVE.

Hopefully this list intrigued you and now you want to experiment. At the moment I'm currently working on something regarding the NYC subway, since it's the hype over in America. For now, it's only in the planning stage. I have to get close measurements for station distance and time tables, and as a result I'm relying on Wikipedia for route info & etc... I will be updating my blog @
http://bve5west.blogspot.ca/. My YouTube channel also focuses on BVE 5, but currently I only play Japanese routes because they're the only ones available lol.
