1. Video Card Issues
--------------------
Compatibility problems with several video cards have been addressed in this
release.

If you've experienced problems with Train Simulator, install the update, then run
the Train Simulator Troubleshooter.

To start the Troubleshooter:

1. Go to the folder where you installed Train Simulator and double-click
Launcher.exe.
or
On the taskbar, click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Microsoft
Games, point to Train Simulator, then click Train Simulator Troubleshooter.
2. In the Troubleshooter, click Change Video Driver.
The profiler checks for your video drivers.
3. Click OK in the Select Driver dialog box.
4. Click Play Train Simulator.

------------------------
2. Marias Pass Refueling
------------------------
The fuel filler area on the Dash 9 and GP38-2 has been increased for easier
refueling at Whitefish Yard. The depot will supply 1,000 gallons of fuel, enough
diesel to complete the run.

------------------------
3. Coupler Functionality
------------------------
Front couplers on steam and diesel locomotives are now functional.

------------------
4. Winter Textures
------------------
Winter texture issues for the Hisatsu route have been resolved. If you install the
Hisatsu route after you install this update, you should reinstall this update.

-----------------
5. Night Textures
-----------------
Night texture issues on the Odakyu route have been resolved. The missing texture
could cause Train Simulator to quit to the desktop in some rare circumstances. If
you install the Tokyo - Hakone route after you install this update, you should
reinstall this update.

----------------------------------------
6. Orient-Express G�lsdorf 380 Refueling
----------------------------------------
The fuel filling area on the G�lsdorf 380 tender has been increased for easier
refueling at the coal and water facilities.

--------------------------------
7. Re-installing Train Simulator
--------------------------------

If you re-install Train Simulator after you install this update, you should
reinstall the update to ensure that you have the latest files. Likewise, if you do
not have the Hisatsu route or the Tokyo - Hakone route installed, and install it in
the future, you should reinstall this update to ensure that you have all the
textures.

----------------
8. Editing Tools
----------------
Available in a separate download, the conv3ds.exe and MakeAce.exe utilities have
been updated, as has their documentation. These tools allow you to create new
objects, including locomotives.
