Installer
These icons indicate that the rollingstock model contained within this (enhanced-type) installer has that particular version of "physics" applied for more realistic operation.
Obsolete: no models on this page are contained within these installers
Our original installer: obsolete - no models on this page are contained within these installers.

Models have double coupler and brake physics
This icon indicates that the model is now equipped with double-coupler statements for more reliable operation especially when shunting. In addition, the "default.wag" file located in your \TRAINSET\DEFAULT folder has been updated to make these parameters work better. The default default.wag is renamed default.old.

A case of "Just when it seems you've got everything updated, further discoveries to make MSTS behave more reliably are found"!

release3 physics will contain the double-coupler parameters.

The newest or most recently upgraded model will also be found on the home page.

Important Note: to use the VP van in passenger trains, you must edit the .WAG file and change the Type parameter from Freight to Carriage.  If you do not do this, your passenger train will be cosidered a freight train by the sim.
