Sorry to suddenly lash out with so many questions. The problem is that Microsoft Train Simulator were either unfinished by a lazy crew or they meant to limit the realism.The worst thing done in MSTS is making turns/approaching curves. The cab stays still while the straight motion on a turn applies. on top of that, there's no sound. No flange at all.Please help me add flange noise to curves? And another question related to the curves, how would I edit some files to make the cab tilt in this process?The boy who bathes in mud and eats pie.

Basically what your trying to do has either been done or is impossible. The part that is done is the squeeling flanges. In the Cascades Crossing route by Maple Leaf tracks (www.mapleleaftracks.com), they have included sounds that include squeeling flanges.As for "tilting the cab" or better known as Superelivation, that is the impossible part. People have been trying scence day one to do that and it's just not happening.Maybe the one of the new simulators coming out will include this stuff.Happy Holidays, -Dave

I included the sound of the flanges grinding at the rails in my generic freight car SMS files. You can hear them in this SD40 clip:http://sgair.net/erick/SOUNDS/SD40-2_K5.mp3They'll be released soon.

I hate microsoft! They decided to cancel MSTS 2 because they overlooked their business and thought releasing a sequel of MSTS would dominate most PC simulators with good graphics, thus, wrecking the future franchises. Please close this thread.The boy who bathes in mud and eats pie.
