Corrected Bin Download links

[crstagg]

The Download links at the Bin web site at http://mstsbin.uktrainsim.com
used to use a pass through counter at http://www.blueboard.cz/
but http://www.blueboard.cz/ is no longer an active web site.

To download the "Stable release 1.7.051922" use this URL:

http://mstsbin.uktrainsim.com/data/MSTSPatch1.7.051922.zip

To download the "Work rel. 1.8.052113" use this URL:

http://mstsbin.uktrainsim.com/data/MSTSPatch1.8.052113en.zip

To download the "New Screens & Widgets" use this URL:
http://mstsbin.uktrainsim.com/data/Setup MSTS_SW.exe

To find information about MSTS Bin still go to http://mstsbin.uktrainsim.com
However do not expect any of the download links to work.

All these URLs in my post above now give a 404 error. Began some time back when UKTrainSim had problems. There were promises to "fix", but that has not happened. About six weeks ago a work around was identified: see Atomic Systems - View Topic - Difficulty downloading the Bin Patch (Repaired 17/11/2014) - 1-1 (uktrainsim.com). Just tested the work around with no success, so it appears MSTS bin is not available at all. More reason to drop MSTS and use ORTS.

Hi Gentlemen,
Following other similar posts on this site, I have today sent an email to support at UKTS and will post the result as soon as I receive an answer.

Cheers,

Any good reason BIN isn't already in this file library?...

Some of us still prefer MSTS,having tried ORTS several times and despite the limitations if the former find it gives a better experience,especially as those who created ORTS do not seem open to making changes which would make it better e.g view wise.I know the problems with MSTS but can cope with them.

Pssst..... Camera views were MSTS-ized awhile back, not that XP clingers-on would know, now that OR development has technologically progressed beyond XP as a suitable OS. But feel free to chronically blame development for anything else that tickles your fancy.

Every day I praise the lord that the MSTS diversion is still available for those road-blocky stubborn KISSy folk that ORTS would never want on their user payroll anyway. The volume of regressive demands would drive some devs to quit.

Then my post should be considered as a reminder that you need to place copies of your D/Ls of Bin in a safe place.

https://msts.steam4me.net/MSTS_Updates/index.html. I always got it here, download at the bottom of the page

If you are referring to the download pointer at the end of this:
Why Do I Need This Version 1.4 Web-Update

Three reasons:

1. You have ANY version and you want to run MSTS-Bin.

That URL results in a 404 error also. And the downloads at that bottom of the page are for MSTS updates NOT MSTS-bin.

AND the D/L in the section titled Important Add-Ons You Should Install


in the Steam4Me MSTS installation instructions for Windows 7+ results in a 404 error also.

Yep 404, sorry it use to work, don't know what happened.

Hi All,
I've just discovered that an older version of the Bin Patch is available from :- http://mononrr.com/downloads/route/m...e-download.htm
Scroll down the page and click on MSTS Downloads, then on Patch 1.7.022420 NOTE : The actual patch is v1.7.102222

Guys,

A quick email to UKTS might clear up the download issues.

I will get in contact with them ASAP.

You will be #3. Ged did 3 days ago. I did yesterday. NO answers.

And FYI they were notified in Nov also.

I think that the problem lies in the fact that Bin was not hosted at UKtrainsim, but had its own website in CZ territory which is now defunct. UKTS was nothing but a clickthrough.
