How to stitch view out of train window?

Asked by Fabian

I want to convert the frames of a recording out of a train window into a single wide image. I know that the perspective can't work out for a perfect result, but surely there's a way to get at least close.
I think what I want is called "linear panorama", for example here is a good example result: https://panoramastreetline.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/London_Picadilly_Ausschnitt_500-1926x600.jpg
The best I found so far were tutorials about "mosaic mode", but they all suggested to manually select a lot of points in each image. Since ideally I would like to use all 152 (good) frames, that's infeasible and I might as well just take the middle of each image manually and not use any panorama tool at all.
This tutorial for example: http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/Mosaic-mode/en.shtml
…tells me to go to tabs with names such as "images", "optimiser", "mask" and "stitcher", none of which exist in the window I'm looking at, which only has "assistant", "preview", "layout", "projection", "move/drag" and "crop". It also tells me to set the "drag mode" to "mosaic", but the only options there are "normal" and "normal, individual". Is that tutorial maybe just very outdated?
About my knowledge level: I installed Hugin yesterday, none of the buttons and menus looked like they do what I wanted, that's about it. But I found other people in forums that supposedly did something like this successfully with Hugin, so I assume it's possible.
Can someone please give me a step-by-step tutorial on what to do to create a linear panorama?

(Actually, just taking the middle wouldn't work either. So I don't know how this would be done otherwise.)

Yeah, thanks, very helpful. Why would I have to constantly update a question if there is no answer yet?
