Editors and Tools

[EirikhO]

How do I open Editors and Tools in MSTS?
I didn't install it propely this time, just copied the files over from my backup drive, but I forgot to backup my desktop,
so I lost the shortcut to Editors and Tools.

I'm quite sure its a parameter to the train.exe file ("[msts-installfolder]/train.exe -editors", or something like that),
but I cant remember what it is exactly.
If someone can help me on this, I'd be happy

AFAIK, if you go into the main MSTS folder in your Programs Folder, there should be (assuming you've installed the 1.3 update) a file called 'launcher'. Right-click on this file, & click on 'Send To', then 'Desktop (create shortcut)'. Now, go onto your Desktop, & locate the shortcut you've just created, & right-click on it. Click on 'Properties', & the Properties box should come up. In the 'Target' box, enter this, exactly as it's written:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Train Simulator\launcher.exe" -runeditor

Click on 'Apply', then 'Ok'. Finally, if you want, so you can distinguish it from the others, rename it 'Train Simulator Editors & Tools'

Hope this all makes sense, & helps you.

It seems it needs a registry key or something - it just shuts down before I can see anything, i checked, and the launcher.exe is running for ca 0.5 secounds. Anyone can check out the registry keys for MSTS, and eventually write them here?
