Trash CAR DERAILS

Unread postby eyein12 » Sun Aug 05, 2012 3:30 pm

Hey so the only gripe i'm having is the trashcar is derailing quite easily in game. mainly on heading down a grade it starts to wobble alot and then derails. right at the top and its an 85ft car and this shouldnt be an issue, but its happening everytime.

any help would be really appreciated.

Lower the center of gravity?

Yep! !!*ok*!! that's set in the "Ease of Derailment" blueprint, from wiki:
This value is used to calculate how easy it is for the locomotive to derail. The parameter works by moving the centre of gravity up and down. The value (which can be set between 0 and 1) translates into -2m to 2m, so setting the value to 0 moves the centre of gravity down 2m (which would make it impossible to tip over) and 1 would move it up 2m making it very easy to derail.

Microsoft Word has a similar "ease of crash" setting, unfortunately it can't be edited.

Lowering it too far makes vehicles tip inwards ( and eventually derail inwards! ) which was a really cheap way of doing superelevation provided you didn't derail :)
