Hello all, wishful thinking, but, can anyone point me to a download site where I may find some Japanese Routes please (not Elvas Towers, as I cannot seem to be able to get onto that site anymore   ). Neanderthal ..read more

I have now been building freeware models for certain train simulators for over a decade and a half. The original MSTS is now around 18 years old, and has not been at retail sale for well over a decade. A group of dedicated simulation enthusiasts created the freeware Open Rails as the logical natural progression to replace MSTS - Open Rails itself has now been available for a decade. At some point one must say "Thank you MSTS, for being a great friend, but it is now time to put you to ..read more

Thanks to the "Helpful Facts Topic 40" I have succeeded in getting a new mini pc which has integrated AMD graphics and Windows 11 to run MSTS. There are a couple of changes to the instructions. I went to the voodoo website and found the link to dgVoodoo v2.81.3 in the "older versions" section. But this link led to "File not found". I then tried dgVoodoo API v2.81 (released: 2023.07.21) ( Note the API ) but this does not have an MS folder. Finally I downloaded dgVoodoo v2.82.5 - for regular ..read more

I have written an activity for the route Black Country 1930's. It is a passenger trip from Wolverhampton to Birmingham New Street. It needs to be tested, so this is an invitation to all to give it a try. It is available from the following Dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/p27yucmokph4yf2ulfgmj/Files-for-Activity-Morning-Commute-aa-mc.zip?rlkey=sinmaf4oiq99jld6fvi9j5oe5&dl=0 I'm not sure how it works, but I tried it out by copying and pasting the link to my browser. This ..read more

I have been playing with the very nice Chablais route. I was surprised to find the branch to Evian as I only knew about the branch from Geneva, but sure enough it was built around 1978 and although it runs to a French town it is operated by the Swiss. But the question is about metre gauge stock. There is some MOB stock in my collection. but is there something specific I have not found for the Blonay Chamby preserved line? And even more important, there are two metre gauge branches from Aigle ..read more

I have just twice tried to install MSTS Swap v3. Each time Norton has deleted it as a threat without giving me any choice. Any suggestions? I think it had previously deleted version 2 as there was a fvolder but no file. Jonathan ..read more

Hi everyone: Let me first aplogize for mz poor English I'm bothering you because I have a problem with the download of the Zürich Basel Route. I have tried to do it several times, but it is quite difficult. In one day I managed to download only three files #1, #2 and #4 after numerous attempts. The problem is that, at the end of the download, it is not completed due to problems with dropbox  for which I proceeded to sign up.  I don't know what Dropbox is for; I can't download from ..read more
