There's been some major improvements on msts since it was released in 2001. Here's a list of the top three (in my opinion anyways) that are needed,

There are two on this page from Microsoft.
Main page in case there's somethin else you might want

http://cgi.ebay.com/MICROSOFT-TRAIN...temQQptZVideo_Games_Games?hash=item2555b7c536

This update makes the SD40 drivable and adds a few rollin stock to the game

http://download.microsoft.com/downl....2a/W982KMeXP/EN-US/sd40-2_content_update.exe

This is an update to the game exe. itself. This is an importrant update

http://download.microsoft.com/download/TrainSimulator/Update/2.0/WIN98MeXP/EN-US/trainupdate.exe


This one's important also. The MSTS Bin Update is a 3rd party update developed for MSTS. It has enabled many new features, previously unavailable in Train Simulator. BUT you MUST have the updated exe from ms (posted above) installed to use this one.

Alright! Picked up an unopened copy of TrainSim in a thrift shop this morning walking from the hotel to the office. WooHoo.

My question is: I see Europe, Japan and USA .cab's on the install CD. Can I omit Europe and Japan in the install process? I won't be able to install it until I get home for the weekend, shucks.

Also, I'm only really interested in the Union Pacific line. I have downloaded a ton of files this afternoon (a confusing process. Mucho more so than FS2004 which I'm used to) and want to install them as well. Big Boy is my "baby", lol, but I also have some diesel engines going in as well. Are there sceneries similar to FS2004 by which I can build UP1946 or UP2011 etc.?

Thanks!
 
Sometimes it pays to plan ahead. Last night I went to Train-Sim.com to download Hugh Reilly's series of Big boy files only to find out they were MIA. Many years ago while looking for a copy of Train Simulator, I downloaded these files and lo and behold I just received an email from the wife saying they were indeed still in my backup archives! Can't wait to get home tonight!!!
