Hi,I was wondering if it's possible to create curved tracks with a certain lift/slope (a higher outer rail, lower inner rail) so that trains can go faster without derailments through relatively short radius curves. I don't know if TS can handle this and if it is hard to create and define the forces in such curves ?thanx

It has been demonstrated that although visually this would work, the trains themselves will not cant - they are fixed with no tilting. For the same reason, I doubt that the physics would be any different for canted curves versus uncanted curves.Hopefully MSTS2 will fix this!Geoff M.
