    Super Elevation - ScalRail. I need a bit more assistance with the profile

    Hi,
    I had seen a post at Elvas about needing a "trackprofiles" folder in a route where scalerail is used, and that the .stf file has to be in this folder.
    At least that is how I understood it.
    I downloaded a provided TrProfile within that thread, created the folder in the route, and dropped in the .stf file.
    I must not be understanding all that is involved, because I haven't corrected the default track issue on curves.
    Please forgive me - when it comes to track shapes, types, their relationships to each other and track profiles - I am as ignorant as can be.

    What do I need to do exactly, to use scalerail and superelevation?

    Thanks for your patience.
    Neil

    That's what I've got, Neil. There's a TrackProfile folder in the route, and a STF file inside it.

    Just turn on superelevation under experimental options, and it should work.


    Side note... the super-elevated track will still use acleantrack1 and acleantrack2. I modified mine using the Scalerail textures and adjusting them to the offsets in the Kuju textures, and also increased the alpha on the sides to shrank down to tie width.



    Since my routes have berms, there's no need for the wider ballast. If you look closely, you can see where the profile is alpha'd out and where the underlying berm takes over.
