Thats wrong, you need to setup a database to run latest tfs.
First you need to download the TFS 1.X server which can be found here:
https://github.com/otland/forgottenserver/
You need to compile the engine (exe) you can do that by using this tutorial:
https://otland.net/threads/compilin...-32-bits-pics-and-lots-of-explanation.204532/
Compile it as 32bit if you want to use the ORTS real map datapack, 64 bits version will crash due to a memory leak in the datapack.
If you can't compile it you can download a pre-compiled build from nightlies.otland.net
http://nightlies.otland.net/
Choose 32 bit release.
You can find the ORTS datapack here:
https://github.com/orts/server
ORTS world files here:

TFS 1.X doesn't any in-game account manager nor SQLite so you need to create a mysql server and create a account/character from either the database or install an AAC such as ZnoteAAC.

You can follow this guide how to setup a fully server:
