Hey im here silently working on a japenese fictional route and im trying to apply the smooth curves. But I'm having a problem. I know how to make and set smooth curves but lets say my track is going left and the rail 1 is going right how would i make the curve on rail 1 smooth. Lets say there's a track thats switches off from the mainline how do u make that curve look smooth. How do you determine the radi for the curve. Thank you,
Adam

To make line 1 have a smooth curve , use the switch facility (Can't recall where from) and make them there. To do that , for an example a 1500 metre curve to the right would be 1500. For one to the left it would be -1500. Do that for each radius. Mark the files as what the curve is for easier adding to the route. Best make them .Rail objects for that (It gives you the option in Switch)Hope this helps

For that type of divarication, curved rail elements for track 1 must have do an opposite curve than track 0.
example:
if R=-500 for track 0 than R=+500 for track 1
if R=+500 for track 0 than R=-500 for track 1Luigi Cartello
