Train Simulator
I found a solution. Update of attributes named "mGfxWidth, mGfxHeight, mGfxRefreshRate" to values "2560, 1440, 144" in XML file named "config.xml". I also updated same way similar file named "config_fullscreen.xml". I found both XML files within root directory of installed game.
Currently I play "Train Simulator 2016" with resolution 2560x1440x144Hz.
So yes, I own display with 144Hz refresh rate, named "27" Acer XG270HUomidpx Predator".
It’s pity refresh rate can not be changed within game options directly. Yet I am glad solution exists and works on Windows 10 with 32GB RAM.
Does your monitor support 144Hz? If Yes Windows should choose that as a default. To change the refresh rate: http://www.microcenter.com/tech_center/article/2119/how_to_change_screen_refresh_rate_in_windows_7-vista-xp
Whatever refresh rate you set in Windows TS2016 will use that. You can also set refresh rates with the nVidia Control Panel if you have a nVidia graphics card.
Given that the game is significantly constrained by the CPU, even with an i7 you’re not going to see a smooth 144fps, regardless of your graphics card.

This is just not true, cpu usage is low compared to many games at around 30% spread across 4 cores. It is however, partly due to todays large monitors (4K, Multi,etc), very dependent on VRAM. The latter will affect performance if you have a large high res monitor and low VRAM. Both my 144 Hz monitors have that refresh rate reflected in TS2016. What reference are you using to say that 144 Hz only works in Borderless windowed mode — sorry but that doesn’t compute.
To the OP IMO TS2014 Does tha config file really change the refresh rate? Tthat config file that you found is an old throw back to pre TS2012 days and I’m not sure that it does anything wrt to todays monitors. My ASUS monitor has a display that shows when TS2016 is running the refresh rate is 144Hz in all modes in TS and the color band also stays red showing the monitor is displaying at 144 Hz. The band turns off if it cannot display at 144Hz.
Budge RMA that monitor it shouldn’t flicker at 144 Hz — if anything flickering should be less!

What is 50Hz, 60Hz?
Alternating current (AC) is changing the direction of the current periodically; Cycle is the time of a cyclical change of the current; Frequency is the times of the current changes per second, unit Hertz (Hz). AC current direction changes 50 or 60 cycles per second, in accordance with 100 or 120 changes per second, then the frequency is 50 Hertz or 60 Hertz.
50 Hz and 60 Hz power sources are most often used in international power systems. Some countries (regions) commonly use 50Hz power gird while other countries use 60Hz power gr />
How to change 60Hz to 50Hz?
Frequency converter can convert fixed frequency (50Hertz or 60Hertz) AC power to variable frequency, variable voltage power through AC → DC → AC conversion, output pure sine wave, and adjustable frequency and voltage. It is different with variable frequency drive which is special for motor speed control only, and also different with ordinary voltage stabilizer. Ideal AC power supply is stable frequency, stable voltage, resistance is approx zero and the voltage waveform is pure sine wave (without distortion). Frequency converter output is very close to the ideal power supply, hence, more and more countries use frequency converter power supply as a standard power source in order to provide the best electrical power supply environment for appliances to estimate their technical performance.
By using a frequency converter, you can convert both 60Hz to 50Hz and 50Hz to 60Hz for home appliances, it is also a voltage converter for changing 110V to 220V.
