We are using and recommending this Bin patch: Patch 1.8.010516 EN Let us know if you can't find it on the UKTrainsim site

FIRST...DOWNLOAD MSTS BIN

If you are installing MSTS BIN for the first time, you must first have the Train Simulator Update (Version 1.2 - April 2002) installed.

Direct link to Microsoft page MSTS Update

1) Copy and paste the "train.exe" and "Launcher" App. into a separate folder as a backup.

2) Unzip the MSTS BIN download to a place on your hard drive where you can easily find it. I put mine with all my other MSTS utilities.

3) If you are running an old version of Bin, you will need to:

a. Uninstall it before installing the new one. After uninstalling, if the folder "MSTSBIN_BACKUP" is still in your Train Simulator folder, delete it manually.

b. OR, overwrite Bin by installing the first(and only) MSTS Update from April 2002(called 'version 1.2' on the MSTS website) Delete the folder "MSTSBIN_BACKUP" if it's still in your Train Simulator folder

4) Now click on the new Bin Patch icon and follow instructions.

5) In the Train Simulator folder, a new folder named 'Translated DLLs' will be created containing the translated language DLL's for MSTS. Open that folder and locate your language folder. Inside are two files 'string.dll' and 'dialog.dll'. Copy and Paste these directly into the Train Simulator folder - overwrite when prompted.

If you are using RAILDRIVER, use dlls from "Rail Driver DLLs" folder.

WIDGETS AND NEW SCREENS:
install Bin Patch before installing widgets. Then install the new screens. Back up your 'GUI' folder (inside Train Simulator folder) should you want to revert back to the original MSTS screens.
