You need to skin the .s file, see MSTS forums etc etc.

I tried .ace files already, the 2nd shows the result, but it can be a problem that i only used a texture for the side of the train.
Now i don't use any textures.

And,another question: is there a tool for editing tracks?

I don't know how locotool works and i can't find any MSTS forums.
Also, i don't know how to convert .bmp to .png after creating images with MSTS 2 LoMo.

There is a tutorial on this. If you are still lost, you might want to ask on an MSTS forum. They would have a better answer there.

There is a plugin for Sketchup that converts shapes to .s files.

Can we please adjust our level of conservation a bit. It all sounds very harsh in here.
