If you love the
sound of a freight train at night, you're not alone. Thanks to
MSTS-Bin, you can now realistically operate your CLW RF16
locomotives from the engineer's seat with both and day and night
time views.
What is a night
cab view?
The MSTS
graphics engine renders cabviews as a series of overlaying
bitmap files, instead of true 3D objects (like those visible in
external views). Accordingly, the cabviews do not respond to
changes in ambient lighting in the sim, like when the sun goes
down or a locomotive enters a tunnel. MSTS-Bin allows a
secondary cabview to be installed along with the primary cabview.
When using the locomotive's cabview, any time the sun is not
"up" or the train enters a tunnel, the secondary cabview is
displayed instead of the primary cabview. This allows developers
to simulate day and night conditions within a locomotive cab.
What is
MSTS-Bin?
MSTS-Bin is
third-party patch to Microsoft Train Simulator that addresses
some of software challenges that were present in MSTS. It also
adds some capabilities to the simulator, such as the ability to
switch between control cabs between multiple locomotives in a
single train, or to use multiple cabviews from a single
locomotive.
Where do I
get MSTS-Bin?
MSTS-Bin is
available at
UKTrainSim. When downloading and installing MSTS-Bin,
please be sure to carefully read all the documentation and
follow the instructions.
What do I
need to use the RF16 Night Cab?
The cab
enhancement requires that MSTS-Bin version 1.7.1022 or later be
installed and functioning on your MSTS installation. Once the
cab enhancement is installed, it functions automatically.
