    ScaleRail track profile for superelevation

    Is there somewhere I can download a track profile for using ScaleRail routes with OR's superelevation feature? Googling and searching this forum takes me to Elvas Tower, where I do not have viewing access. As well, registration to Elvas Tower has apparently been closed off for good so I have no way to get to the page with the track profile.

    Thanks!

      I think creating a profile is way over my head for the time being.. but here's one of the threads I found about this:



      Sure would be nice if Elvas Tower was open.

        This is probably a temporary measure until the recent spate of malicious events comes to a conclusion. This is just my own opinion and certainly does not represent Elvas Tower.

          I used to have them but as I am not interested in Superelevation and no longer have their Profiles folder containing them.

          Attached are 2 I have downloaded from ET, one having been supplied by Marc Nelson and there must be many who have a Scalerail Profiles folder in routes using them for ORTS to use and could post them likewise !

            Hopefully.

            Perhaps someone here with access could post the file? Pretty please with sugar on top

            edit: Yay, thanks OTTO!

                You are aware that the SR profile, as least as I understand it, was created as a tool for Dynatrax and that it was not designed as a super-elevation roadbed (at least as I understand it). The actual profile, not those in the FRC release was release a time back from Marc. I think he had it at the 3DT forum. You might PM him requesting it.

                  No Dynatrax profile is Superelevation specific and ORTS uses one to create its own Superelevation effect, but has a few problems applying it to all tracks !

                    Correct, though I can´t seem to locate the official announcement now. Will keep digging.
