--------

===== Installation =====
  - To play the U-Bahn Sim Berlin modification for Trainz 2009, you first need a key for the game. \\ **Guide:** [[en:handbuch:ts2009_giveaway|]] \\ \\
  - Then Trainz 2009 must be installed. \\ **Guide:** [[en:handbuch:installation:ts2009_installation|]] \\ \\
  - It is now recommended to start the game once so that Trainz 2009 can configure itself. \\ \\
  - If an NVIDIA graphics card is installed in the system, hardware-accelerated texture compression must be disabled. \\ **Guide:** [[en:handbuch:installation:nvidia|]] \\ \\
  - Now the U-Bahn Sim Berlin modification can be installed. \\ **Guide:** [[en:handbuch:installation:ubahnsim_installation|]] \\ \\
  - Lastly, some steps should be followed after the installation. \\ Otherwise, we cannot guarantee that the modification will work without problems. \\ **Guide:** [[en:handbuch:installation:post_installation|]] \\ \\
  - Bonus: From time to time the modification receives updates. \\ We provide information about this both on our **[[https://www.u7-trainz.de/neuigkeiten|website (german)]]** and on our **[[https://discord.gg/mBQ6WxHJAp|Discord server]]** in the ''#updates-changelog'' channel \\ **Guide:** [[en:handbuch:installation:ubahnsim_updaten|]] \\ \\
  - Optional: With the help of Reshade, you can enhance the graphics of Trainz a bit or make the tunnels appear more realistic. \\ **Guide:** [[en:handbuch:installation:reshade|]]
