Q: What is MSTS Bin & WHY Do I need it ?

A: MSTS Bin was a wonderful little gift to all the Train Sim Community, created originally by Kujo but someone figured out the coding, to create some wonderful additions to the models.

Why do I need it? Well, Bin allows the user of the game to actually open car doors, move mirrors, have engine cabs that turn lights on inside in tunnels automatically, and reversible cabs for bi-directional engines. These options, of course, are only available if the modeler has incorporated them into the model, which at Tigertrains.com we do, unless specified in the description of the product. ie: Bin Features: NONE

Q: Why do I have Solid White wheels ?

Okay, that happens to a rare few of you.....

A) That happens sometimes if your using an older version of shapeviewer. But in the game the wheels are fine. Fixed Yes - Great No - Goto B

B) In game if this is occuring update the app.fbk file contact us for a new one. Place file into the main MSTS folder to replace the original. Fixed Yes - Great No - Goto C

C) If the updated app file doe's not fix the issue then, you have not done the original updates for MSTS. This entails removal of the Bin, install the MSTS patches, from http://msts.steam4me.net/MSTS_Updates/ and after installing these patches then reinstall the Bin for doors etc. The wheels dont need Bin, as that code was written prior to the Bin development. Fixed Yes - Great No - I honestly don't know!!!
