Notice: This route for MSTS can be obtained by ordering or visiting our shop. The contacts are at the bottom of this page.


The route Kuty - Brno - Praha uses the tracks that are not compatible with any version of Xtracks. Therefore, it is necessary to make the following modifications before installation of this route in the directory :\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator:

You have to copy the directory Global to a directory GlobalX. Then you have to create a directory RoutesX and move all the routes that use Xtracks to this directory. Now you can install the route Kuty - Brno - Praha and run MSTS with this route.
If you want to use the routes that were moved to the directory RoutesX, you
have to rename the directories Global and Routes to GlobalBP and RoutesBP and rename the directories GlobalX and RoutesX to Global and Routes.

I have two reasons for not using Xtracks. The definiton of the dynamic track
is in Xtracks at another position. It would require to replace about 1500 pieces of the tracks in the whole route. The second reason is that Xtracks strictly limits the maximum number of objects that can be placed on one tile in the editor and therefore it is useless for this route.

Advantages of my modification:
You can expand the standard routes without Xtracks with 24 new switches and
tracks after updating Global (it is included in the installation and update 43bptrat). The size of the update is small and it does not limit the maximum number of objects that can be placed on one tile.


To make the look of the route realistic, there were used objects and contributions from following authors:

 If somebody thinks, that after having worked many years at railway and after changing my job, I have lost my interest in railway, he is completely wrong. “An abstinence syndrome” has to appear. This caused me to make, for the time being, 1200 km long real czech-slovak route from Bratislava to Brno, Ceska Trebova  and to Praha with variant routes through Holic and Mutenice for the computer game Microsoft Train Simulator.
