Sea View 5


This page lists information and updates for
the Sea View 5 route for Microsoft® Train SimulatorTM
that I have contributed to.

This route has been created by Bill Burnett with the help of many people including myself.
Now in its fifth incarnation, I'm very proud to have contributed four custom-made signaling systems
to the route as well as highway crossing signals, road signs, and other details.

The route is free for download and available at various places, but one site doesn't require registration:

WARNING!
Against Bill Burnett and my wishes, some parties online have begun distributing unauthorized modified versions of the route's signaling files!

THESE FILES CAN BREAK ALL SIGNALING ON THE ROUTE!
This is unfortunate considering how much work and time went into these delicate systems.
It is also against the route's and signals' licensing:
The route's signaling is really the only part not allowed to be modified in a distribution of the route.
It is very complex and any changes you make should NEVER be passed onto anyone else.
Naturally this appalls me, and I urge everyone to not use any illegal modifications:
For your best Sea View 5 experience please use what is official and what works!
Any files or updates for the route available linked on or from this site, or stamped as coming from Bill Burnett are going to be official. Any others are NOT!
I will appreciate any reports of who or where illegal files are coming from.

To install, download this file to your computer, and put it in the SeaView5 folder.
It should overwrite the current configuration file.

Any questions or trouble installing this file, feel free to contact me.

Serenity Beach Fix

When the turnout to the Sand Supply Incorportated track at Serenity Beach is thrown, MSTS freezes.
This is because of a missing control signal on the Sand Supply Incorportated track.

A patch may be produced to correct this and other Sea View 5 issues.
Until then, you can click this page for instructions on correcting this problem.

Or, just don't throw this switch! None of the rest of the route is affected.
