last year there was something forget MSTS to get the size of the screen down! so that the is not over the whole screen can anyone help me! sorry to be a pain!

alt+enter? to get window mode

or is it in the trouble shooter, where you can tick a box to say 'open trainsim in a window'

Its not Alt+Enter...just tried it.

Only thing I can offer is hit the WINDOW key to get the start menu up...

no, someone put an thing on Uktrainsim its so that i can speek to people on the net has well playing with MSTS! its make the screen smaller!

I've found it! I think....a reply by jbilton to a similar question:

This short cut makes it run in a window of size given

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\train.exe" -vm:w,800,600,32


"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\train.exe" -vm:w,1024,768,32

Hasnt this got something to do with Msts Multi Player.

so how do you do it then

1) Copy or create a new desktop icon

2) Right click on the icon & select Properties

3) If the contents of the Target field starts "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator then simply paste one of the lines in jbilton's post into the field, overwriting what's there. If not, leave the path the same and just replace the remainder of the line.

4) Save...and bingo. Click on the icon and you have a window.

btw the top line gives a window size of 800 x 600 (with 32 colours I think).

The bottom gives 1024 x 768

It does work - I run MSTS at 1024x768 for performance reasons but because my TFT monitor is 1280x1024 I have to do this to stop the monitor blurring stuff as it stretches the pixels
