I searched for hours, on this forum AND on many other sites, but everything that works for other people, doe'snt work for me.

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.

And you are certain you actually searched for them? When I google for msts, bmp to png etc. I get loads of results.

This is an English speaking forum only, if you wish to speak in your native tongue use PMs.

That doesn't matter, just use English.

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.
