BVE: Guides for help.

[ferrovipathe]

I can write some guides like " How build..."
What do you want first:
.. objects ?
.. route ?
.. draw track's map ? (exact one)
.. others ?

(Not train, because I don't try yet ;-) )

Post here your whishes.

You can also mail me at:
jean-louis.coste@nck.ap-hop-paris.fr
ferrovipathe@free.fr
if you have a special need.

Tracklaying using only freeobj rails & switches, and NOT using .turn statement (i.e. .curve to make bends/direction changes), Linie 10 is a great example.

How to make objects
How to lay track with signals.
How to calculate curves. Ref between the radius and divert.
expand on your switch guide.

Ill second the motion for a guide on setting up signals.Id love a compilation of tips,shortcuts, and advanced techniques for building AND placing objects.I enjoy learning by experimenting but it would be great to have a collection of tips from the experienced developers to speed up the learning process.

In confidence, I never understood the turn command.
In Loop, all curves and switches had been built with curve() and freeobject().

So tracklaying.

Cheers.

Ok, you want everything:
Tracklaying (tracks, curves and switches)
Objects.

I'll begin to expend my little guide.

All the best.

.turn is simple! Just define howmuch you wnt to move to the left or right every 25m! Here is an example, moving 5m to the LEFT (so -ve) in 25m, so the ratio is -5/25=-0.2
Then to cancel the turn (as it will repeat every 25m), where you wnat to just enter the opposite! see below:

25 .turn -0.2
50 .turn 0.2

You can find a potted thread of tips and tricks at http://billz1064.proboards.com/index...num=1051175590

Feel free to add to it .

Agreed. I've used the .turn statement in the Middlebridge Line, and found that as long as you compensate for the other lines and keep them relative to the running line, it works very well.....

I've also used the .curve statement to make direction changes over switches in the Middlebridge Line.... I suppose it's just whatever suits the situation best.....

I think that crossing between parallel lines is best achieved with TURN, whereas turning onto a branch, etc, is best achieved with CURVE. My two pence...........

RE: Guides for help.

Precisely! Thats what I use it for!

[Stooopid_person]

RE: Guides for help.

I use .turn if you are crossing over to another track.

Jean-Louis,

You know I always wanted everything. How many e-mails we said that :7 . Remember if they offer seconds or thirds for free take it. Give an MM take a Meter???

Jason,

You are right. But I only wanted to see the whishes of every one, before begining.

All the best.
