    Yes, SE of 1 helps display it's trackbeds better but even in these tight curves hardly any tilt is noticeable.

    SE tilt should be graduated according to the radius of curves.

    It can not be coded for easily, but ideally the SE trackbeds edges slopes could have their angles changed according to the tilt applied !

      I know in the past I've seen people hoping that the OR guys will eventually do a Route Editor also. If that does happen, maybe the SE can be addressed there with such things as what Otto states in regards to graduated SE dependent upon overall curve length, and have the editor, capable of adjusting the terrain to the SE with what MSTS does currently with the Y key. Again, all just ideas, and I'm sure the guys working on OR are swamped in thousands of ideas.

        And the speed limit. A corkscrew spur with a speed limit of 5 into some lumberyard somewhere wouldn't have any superelevation.

          I was thinking that same thing after I made that last post....curves in the canyon between Salida, CO, and Canon City, CO are not going to have the same SE as other curves since many of the curves are 30 mph or less.
