  • 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 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...
