I have multiple copies of MSTS running on my machine, per the several recent threads on this topic. None of the routes I run requires XTracks, so I have never installed it. Works fine, but now I want to add NNJ to my set of routes, and NNJ requires XTracks. In a multi-copy environment, is it possible to have only one copy of MSTS that has XTracks installed? If so, how do I do that? I am particularly concerned as to whether XTracks does anything to the Wndows registry info used by MSTS. Thanks in advance for your help...Charlie

RE: multiple copies of MSTS and XTracks

Hi,Sure, you can install Xtracks in only one copy. It comes with installation instructions, so follow these.
IHMO, it makes no difference to an installation in a single copy.
And it does nothing with your registry, so no worries on that part.Dick van den HovenMultiple copies of MSTS and XTracks – image 1
