Creating a Voyager

Hi, I brought a Virgin Voyager for Trainz, and I really like it, but I don't like using Trainz as the control's are rubbish. I was wondering is there anyway of making the model usable for Microsoft Train Simulator or taking pictures of side views, front views, and roof view, and creating it for MSTS. It is for personnal use, and I wouldn't be selling it.
Thanks for any help.

Get the updated MT voyager.
Fife Voyager (Scottish Central), Dorset Voyager and Springfield Voyager are on the UKTS route CDs.
There may be others I have missed.
Unfortunately you can't get this one......

Yeah, I've got the Fife, Dorset, and Springfield voyager, but I really like the look of the Trainz voyager.

what looks good in one program looks naff in another.
what looks good in MSTS would look amazing in Trainz, unfortunately you need to know what your doing and i mean its not as simple as it look's. What looks naff in trainz would look rubbish in MSTS.
There are very few and far between models that keep there glory between the two and the voyager isnt one of them unfortunatley.
iirc the Trainz voyager is based on the freeware one on this site.

Its a completely new model. The only similarities is that both the trainz and msts Voyagers are based on the same train so will look similar

Only tilts in BVE if you are using the "route randomizer", but that can make anything tilt. It'd be particuarly wrong as the BVE Voyager is a really 220
As for MSTS, it's not possible is it?

Not entirely why people are wasting time discussing something that we clearly know is not possible in MSTS.
But hey ho, carry on.
