for MS Train Simulator

Revision : 1.0 / 26th August 2001
Artist/Modeler : Chris Longhurst (clonghur@es.com)

Installation notes.
Run the installer. This will copy the relevant Regiorunner files into the proper MSTS folders.

Running the NS Regiorunner.
I've modeled the engine unit and a single carriage. The Regiorunner exists in four consists for Train Simulator.
1. NS Regiorunner IRM3 - 2 engines, back-to-back, with one carriage
2. NS Regiorunner IRM4 - 2 engines, back-to-back, with two carriages
3. NS Regiorunner IRM3+3 - 2 ICM3 consists
4. NS Regiorunner IRM4+4 - 2 ICM4 consists

Notes.
1. You can only run the NS Regiorunner on the Northeast Corridor and Tokyo-Hakone routes.
2. The .eng and .wag files are as correct as I can make them. All feedback will be appreciated to make them more accurate, especially in regard to the tractive effort, adhesion and brakes. Email me at clonghur@es.com if you can help out here.
3. The engines have working lights both front and rear with dipped and high levels.
4. Pantographs and windscreen wipers work.

Bugs fixed since v0.1beta.
1. Pantographs now reach correct line height for European catenarys : 5.5m Don't blame me that Microsoft built them too high.

Bugs fixed since v0.2Beta.
1. Blurry textures fixed.

Bugs fixed since v0.3Beta.
1. CABVIEW and SOUND folders no longer need copying - my files alias the originals.

Bugs fixed since v0.4Beta.
1. "Glued doors" problem solved where no passengers would get on or off if you had the two loco consists.

Known bugs.
1. Due to a bug in MS Train Simulator itself, the bogies on the rear half of the trains pivot incorrectly on corners. This is not my model - it's MSTS. You can see the same effect on their supplied Acela models.
