  • How To...Create And Upload Screen Shots















                                    


                              


    "SCREEN SHOTS made EASY"

    Every time the Print Screen key is being pressed in MSTS a .pcx image file is created in the folder where the Train.exe resides. They are consecutively named scrgrb0.pcx, scrgrb1.pcx, scrgrb2.pcx and so on. Every time another MSTS session is being started and more shots are taken, these files will again be created starting with scrgrb0.pcx and therefore overwrite existing ones. 


     


    Here I am dealing with one taken in my German WUPPER-EXPRESS MINI route, using the FREE and excellent IRFANVIEWER from www.irfanview.com .  There is a comprehensive tutorial for it here:

    ##-WIP is my "Work in Progress" folder I have pasted the *.pcx files into for processing, making sure that they are not wiped out by another MSTS session!

    • Properly Install Content and Third Party Applications for OpenRails
      by eric

      If you've downloaded an add-on, they should go into a common Content folder. Some people organize all of their routes and trains into a single folder, while others might organize them into regions or time eras.

      Many have installers, but it's also common to simply have a set of folders that get copied within your content folder.

      I'll be using C:\ORTSContent for this tutorial, but your...

    • Properly Install Content and Third Party Applications for OpenRails and MSTS
      by eric

      Running the Microsoft / Open Rails Train Simulator is a little different from other simulators, in that there are a lot of options available for add-ons (over 30,000 in our library alone), as well as companion applications that are used to create routes, activities and even new models. Adding to the complexity, some of these applications date back to 2001, when MSTS was first introduced. The Windows operating system has changed quite a bit since then, and as a result, the way older app install...

    • Installing OpenRails on Windows 11
      by eric

      Open Rails has a very simple installation routine, and currently defaults to installing in C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenRails, unless you've already installed it elsewhere. It also offers the fliexibility for you to install it where you want, and operates fine from any location. Here are a few examples: C:\Program Files\Open RailsC:\Program Files (x86)\Open RailsC:\ORTSC:\TrainUtilities\OpenRails It's important to not store any of your route or train content in these directories, as the entire file structure is subject to being replace...
