An update for Microsoft Train Simulator is now available for download. This update of Microsoft Train Simulator addresses several issues . There is also a separate Tools update that includes updated versions of Conv3ds and MakeAce, and updated technical documentation for creating cabs and converting shapes and textures to a format that can be used in Train Simulator.
These two updates were previously available for download in one combined download; we have separated them to make the download smaller for customers who do not use the tools. We also decreased the file size of the tools documentation. No other changes have been made to the update; if you previously installed the Train Simulator update, you do not need to install this version.
