Searched the forums and can't find an answer to this seemingly simple question. I'm trying to open MSTS in a window (not full-screen) using the train.exe -v:m switch. If you hit train.exe /? for help it says you can specify the window size and bit depth but I've tried every possible combination of switches to make it happen, and still it opens in what looks like a 640x480 viewport.Has anyone had success opening MSTS in a 1024x768 window for example? Many thanks.I've tried train.exe -v:m1024,768,32
train.exe -v:m:1024,768,32
train.exe -v:m 1024,768,32
train.exe -v:m<1024,768,32>
train.exe -v:m <1024,768,32>you name it
