That is not true. French modeller Pierre Gauriat and some Italian modelers have transferred their models created in TSM to TS20xx. It does however entail an intermediary import in 3D Canvas/3D...

Again, new version (1.7.1.3) available with more functions but more importantly an updated 3D renderer that now uses features up to openGL 3.1 (note, latest openGL version at time of writing is 4.6):...

Most attention these days goes to TS202x and TSW, but there is still a small but supportive openBVE community at work. Let's focus our attention to the Italian community from Trenomania in this post....

And while I originally thought Zusi was pure Win32 C++, the official forum eventually gave the right answer that was suspected by someone else before:
