I concur entirely with what you've written. Without upgrades or patches, and having removed any support of it from the company website, MS appears to have abandoned this avenue of gaming for itself. What's needed (set up a petition? to whom?) to get MS to re-issue MSTS, or at least its underlying scenery and train object libraries, so new users who can't get a legitimate copy of MSTS can run the older add-ons that need them? After more than a decade
Msts route up free#
Only commercial and a few recently-released free add-ons avoid MSTS object entanglements, and most of the older free content That's a severe limitation for people who only recently have become interested in train sims and can't (legally) get a copy of MSTS. In order to use older routes originally designed for MSTS, though, access to the underlying MSTS route and train object libraries is still needed Regarding realism and presentation (new content is beginning to appear for it that is too complex to work in MSTS).
Msts route up simulator#
There are a few commercial train sims that don't use MSTS content and are not compatible with MSTS routes.There's also a open source simulator that runs well in current Windows, and can run most MSTS-based content and routes though moving in different directions
Msts route up windows#
Officially, it's unsupported in Windows after XP. Of Windows (especially after 7) - it can't be just installed with any expectation of working correctly, even if the old CDs (especially Disk 2) can be read, and necessary updates are no longer available - and simply doesn't work with certain combinations of MSTS itself (if you have a copy) requires heroic measures to run in modern versions That huge collection of community-developed add-on content for MSTS will never be duplicated in newer train sims, much like with Flight Sim, and some are true works of art. Requires getting either a used copy or a pirated copy. That requires that one have MSTS installed, of course. MSTS provides, in effect, a standard library of objects and trains that are used in add-on content. Most) of the free ones make use of some objects in the default routes. Many add-on routes have been developed, and many (arguably, It was the firstĪnd still, as a single program, most successful train simulator game, partly due to timing and partly to its relatively open attitude toward re-use of scenery and train objects in add-on content.
