See below for further detail on having sections included in the file. There is a relatively easy, though possibly time consuming solution, have those sections included in the file. Routes which use extend track sections that are not included in this file are not compatible and will likely cause program errors (known as crashes). Horace is also included in the Xtracks collection. One means of updating id numbers is to use Okrasa Ghia's program "Horace" which is available for download in the files library at, search for the word Horace in the file descriptions to get the latest version. Routes which use extended track sections that are included in this file will require one id number updating. It is possible to edit dynamic track without realizing that the track is being edited. DO NOT EDIT ANY DYNAMIC TRACK without updating the route. Any edit of a section of dynamic track, unless the route has been updated, will corrupt all other sections of dynamic track. Editing these routes may require that track section id number be updated prior to editing, see below for id updating. This includes all six of the default routes included in the original program and many other routes. Routes which do not use any extended track sections are not impacted so long as they remain as they are. Chris' work released after late July 2003 is compatible.įirst use of the standardized \global\tsection.dat file will impact existing routes in one of three ways (Updating a previously installed standardized \global\tsection.dat file as no additional impact): \Train Simulator\Global\ folder.Ĭhris Cyko's Original L2 route (released in early 2002) is not compatible and the combination of that route and this file will cause MSTS to fail to completely start.

How to use:īACK UP YOUR EXISTING \GLOBAL\TSECTION.DAT FILE.Ĭopy the tsection.dat file included with this file into the.

See item 4 below for how to resolve this. If you have any \global\tsection.dat file installed other than the MS/KUJU default \global\tsection.dat file or an earlier build of this standardized \global\tsection.dat file, use of this file may initially cause MSTS to crash. This \global\tsection.dat file includes many extended shapes from several different developers, and is completely compatible with the default routes as issued by MS/KUJU. The purpose of this project is to provide a standardized \global\tsection.dat file that can be shared by all track section developers.įacing a Tower of Babel situation where every route that used extended track sections needed its own unique \global\tsection.dat file, this project includes extended sections and is compatible with the default routes.
