Starting MSTS

Post by thegeneral1 »

Is there any way that MSTS can be opened in a window to facilitate moving between screens?

Yes - just add the -vm:w switch to your MSTS shortcut or, if you use Trainstore, add it to the "MSTS LAUNCH SETTINGS section of the TOOLS/OPTIONS menu.

The shortcut I have is
"F:\great_eastern\Train Simulator\train.exe" -vm:w
which works fine for my Great Eastern mini route (I run most routes as mini routes these days)
