Begining route coding and looking at a similar code I noted a section called Train.Flange (0) 1 after the Train.Run coding. I was just wondering how does it work and what does it do?
Many thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick
Flanging is the noise a train makes when it is going round a tight corner at speed...
Each train for BVE comes with a number of possible flange sound effects. They are coded in to the route file the same way as Rail Run sounds...
i.e. Train.Flange(0) 1 BVE will play Flange1.wav when turning sharply on track type 0 (as coded by you)

not quite right, can be at slow speeds too

RE: Train.Flange?
If you get it at high speed, you are either going to fast or, in BVE, the track doesn't have enough cant (angle the track is tilted to around corners). You mostly get it on sharp corners or going over points. It is the profile of the wheels that steers the train, the flanges are just their for extreme cases. Actually, if the flanges are hitting the rails at high speed it is a bad thing, as the rail will be heated up and then rapidly cool, and this can lead to cracks forming.

Thanks for the very useful replies I know understand these commands.
