Tonight after another freeze in view 4 I went to uninstall MSTS bin. After running the uninstaller It told me I still had the latest version installed. I have been unable to get rid of it. Is there another not too technical way to do this so I can revert back to the November release?

I have version 1.16 on MSTS do I need to upgrade before installing the Bin Patch?

Also to install do you just double click on it like an .exe file and it starts up.

Thanks For Help!!!

Hi
During the install process you get the option to select (tick box) the transparency and sound addons.

Just re-install the exact same version of it again, right over the top of the existing install. This shouldn't cause any problems, since you need it to be completely installed irregardless of rather you are keeping it or uninstalling it right afterwards. That should give you back your missing file, and unless you have made other modifications to the other files involved elsewhere, you should be back in action.

Hi,
One question: I read at the train-sim.com forums that you can lock the spotter cam and watch the entire train with MSTS bin. How do you do this?
Thanks

Hi
Welcome to the forums
If you install the Bin patch then camera 4 is ammended to watch the whole train pass before changing location.
If you want to lock the camera from panning you need to press ctrl+shift+9
Same again to release.

My spotter cam is only watching the first five or ten cars on the train and is then switching views. Even when I locked it from panning, it still didn't watch the whole train. I did a full uninstall and reinstall of MSTS bin and it still won't work. I know bin is working, however, because I have used the cab switching feature successfully. Any ideas?

Not really unless you're using one of the earlier bin patches... I think you need to be on 1.7.22 or above.

I have just reinstalled Windows and MSTS. However, my search for a download of Bin is leading me nowhere. I getting a 404 message - 'broken'. Does anyone know of another site from which I can download the Bin files?
