SCALE RAIL AND SUPER ELEVATION

[eyein12]

So i guess scalerail doesnt do superelevation like default tracks can? I try to make them tilt but it wont work. Am i doing something wrong?

I don't think it works, I tried too and no dice.

I believe Hack said he is working on it (may even have a beta...)

Did you add the <DefaultSuperelevation> section to your scale rail track rule?

no, do you think that will work?

I think that will let you add superelevation in the route editor afterwards - you also want to add the default roughness section, I can't remember what the tags are called for that though.

I'm thinking that is all that is missing, it's worth a try? You can either copy the section from the SanB_Bars_ Mainline.bin or the Horseshoe Route track rules files. Like Kali mentioned, you'll also want to add the <DefaultRideQuality> section while you're modifying the file. I know the <DefaultRideQuality> section will work on track that is already laid, but I'm not sure if the <DefaultSuperelevation> section will work on existing track? Also, you need to use easements when laying track to prevent uneven joints with any track rule that contains the <DefaultSuperelevation> section.

You have to enable superelevation for each segment on top of adding it to the track rule. If you don't care much about crazy bumps at turnout you can just search & replace in tracks.bin :)

Super Elevation works with ScaleRail (and looks very nice) - but the entry must be present in the trackrule for it to work. A decent "baseline" is to copy the entry from the HSC into the trackrule you are using.

There are no issues that I've seen with it - on the route I'm working on the majority of curves are superelevated.

Each section of SE track needs to be individually activated, welded sections break SE - so a red triangle in the middle of a curve must have SE activated on both sides of it. Also, for best results, easements must be used on all curves that have SE.

As stated above, SE does not play nice with junctions, a straight section of track inserted between the diverging junction and the curve may help.

Hack is in the process of releasing an official update to ScaleRail that has the default values he found to work best.
