on how to make up a consist on MSTS and get it to work? I’m fairly computer-illiterate, but need some step-by -step instructions of how to get a consist made up, and for it to work properly (as well, how to turn locomotives around so you got some back-to-back). I am sure there is lots of help out there. I’ve been wanting to get something set up for a long time but just do not know how to go about it.
I would so much appreciate any and all help that you can help me with.
Also ya might wanna go here to get some good info as well as some nice downloads and a place where you can upload your pix and look at other peoples pictures as well http://www.train-sim.com/
1-First thing ya wanna do is fire up your __Train Simulator Editors & Tools__
2-Then ya wanna click on Activity Editor
3-Then choose File then New and it does not matter what route ya choose cause you won’t be doing anything with it anyways and then click Ok
4-Then over on the right it says Player and Player Service and right under that it says New click on New
5-Then choose New again in the Consist tab
6-Then pick the engines and cars you want by choosing the tab and double clicking on the car name ya wanna use in the Rolling Stock tab
7-After ya got that all done…You have to give it 2 names and they BOTH have to be the SAME NAME and that gets entered at the top left under the tabs Name and Display Name so for an example if ya make a rock train put in the to boxes Rock Train and Rock Train
8-After thats done then go to the bottom and click on Save & Exit
9-Close out of everything and get back to the desktop
10-Fire up MSTS and look for your new train and HAVE FUN!!!
I hope this helped in some way if not drop me a message on here on what part ya stuck on and I will do my best onto help ya thru it…
ConBuilder is also another utility you can use to make consists. The payware version with more functions is available at http://conbuilder.3dtrains.com, and there is ConBuilder Lite, the free version, over at the train-sim.com file library.
