Here are the latest patches and updates for our MSTS
Utilities.
Note: These will not work unless you already have the associated program (SwitchList
Generator, Activity Generator, or Activity Master) installed on your hard drive.
You will also need the password you received when you originally
downloaded/installed the software. If you don't remember your password,
please e-mail your PayPal receipt to
Update
Password Needed and your unzip password for the appropriate program will be
e-mailed to you within 48 hours. If you no longer have your receipt, send
the original e-mail address you used when purchasing the software, and we can
usually look it up.
To upgrade any version of Activity Master or Activity Generator to the latest version:
To install maintenance updates:
- Click the link below for the update you need, and download the zip file to
your desktop, or anywhere that's convenient for you.
- Either:
- Right click the file, and select "Extract to:". Then browse to the
folder where the program is located. If you installed the programs to
the recommended locations, you will want to extract the file(s) for the
ActivityMaster update to your \Program Files\ActivityMaster
folder. For SwitchList Generator, the default installation is
\Program Files\SwitchlistGenerator. When extracting, you'll
need to enter the password you received when you originally purchased the
software.
- Or:
- Double click the .zip file and unzip the file(s) in it anywhere you'd
like. You'll need to enter the password you received when you
originally purchased the software. Next, copy, drag, or move all the
files to the program folder for the program you're updating. If you're
updating Activity Master, and you originally installed it to the default
location (highly recommended), copy or move the files to your \Program
Files\ActivityMaster folder. For SwitchList Generator, if you
installed to the the default location, then copy or move the files to your
\Program Files\SwitchlistGenerator folder.
- If you installed either of these programs to another folder (rather than
the recommended, default folder), you'll need instead copy the files from the
.zip file to the folder where the program was installed. DO NOT copy
these to your MSTS folder.
- To determine whether or not you successfully updated your software, start
the software and verify that the version number is the same as the latest
version number given below for each product.
The latest version of ActivityMaster is 1.6.2. Get the free update
here. This version is much more tolerant of
faults and errors in the underlying .wag and .eng files that the program reads,
and handles a larger matrix of replacement rolling stock.
The latest version of ActivityGenerator is 4.2.12. Get the free update
here.
Activity Generator has
replaced SwitchList Generator. This is a major version
update. If you haven't yet upgraded, please click
here for links and instructions on updating
SwitchList Generator to Activity Generator. Also included with the update
is SwitchList Generator Classic, so you can still enjoy the SwitchList Generator
program you are familiar with.
To use either of these
programs with the new Shape View interface, you'll need to download and install
Paul Gausden's freeware Shape View program also, available
here.
The link to the Shape View program is provided with the kind
permission of Mr. Gausden.
