You need to have the sleeper coach in your train formation (consist) for this to work. As an example the passenger view from a 3-tier sleeper compartment (designed by Suresh Sridharan) is available here. This gives a feeling that you are travelling as a passenger inside a compartment. E.g., in yard view, using CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, and arrow keys, one can pan the entire route leaving the active train to itself!!Īnd yes, '5' brings up the passenger view in many train formations. Of course you need to edit the route in the route editor and place a 'yard' definition at the required places.Ī modified camcfg.dat file is available here: which enhances all the above views. In addition '7' brings up a yard view, which can be defined at any location we want in a route. '6': Shunting view fixed on the end car, useful when coupling to other locos, consists etc.Is fixed and anchored at the lead loco of the passing train) '4': Roadside view (also called railfan view, here the camera.The default installation and the six routes feature the following five camera views: The routes are found in the Routes sub-folder under your MSTS folder.
You can remove or backup any of the default routes that you do not need after the installation. The six default routes are needed only during the installation of the new route. This inflates the disk usage to over a gigabyte of precious disk space on our working disk. Many freeware routes that we can download from the net require all the six default routes to be installed. This aspect has come in very handy in developing region-specific content like the Indian Railway add-ons by Ronald Kappel (Roni) and a few others as well. Also to be noted is that many aspects of this game have been designed with an open architecture, which allows other enthusiasts, and 3D model developers to provide very good add-ons in terms of more locomotives, rolling stock, complete routes and scenery. It should be noted that while Microsoft (and Kuju who originally designed the game) have made it as trouble-free as possible, being early in this genre of 3D train simulation, there are quite a few bugs and errors which come in between you and an immersive 3D experience. I have listed below a few tips and guidelines which can enhance this 'realistic driving' experience while playing with the MSTS game. This feature has made this game an addictive among many railfans, who may not get a chance to 'footplate' a real locomotive. You can drive the train along realistic track, following signals and a few basic rules along the way. MSTS is a three-dimensional photo-realistic train simulator, allowing the user into the cab of a steam, diesel, or electric locomotive, along with freight or passenger train formation. Around the world, there must be very few railfans who would not have heard about Microsoft Train Simulator, known in short as MSTS.
