Super elevation

[VLW]

I activated super elevation but it's not as smooth and realistic as this. I'm running on Win10 if that's the case.

As a first thought superelevation behaviour depends from the quality of the route's track layout. If there are continuous changes of track radius, or intermixing of straight sections with curved sections (which is not realistic at all) superelevation can't work well.

AMEN!

It most certainly raises the bar on track-laying skills needed.

I was looking at the N&W routes the other day to see what is needed for a track/signal upgrade, and was astounded at the number of curves which were laid out using 10d (yard) switch end pieces laid in series, where each piece has a curve-straight feature, creating curves that look like curve-straight-curve-straight-curve-straight-curve-straight.

Use switch end pieces for curved track pieces like that only if you want your route to sunset and die with MSTS.

Honestly that is the main reason it's taking me so long with my own route. Properly laying down track.

Things I can't stand in routes, what Geepster mentioned.
Other things include.

Very abrupt grade transitions. .000 right to .600 is the most unrealistic grade transition ever. To get that looking right, take 10m peices, or even 5m, and slowly work your way up from .000 to .150 .300 .450 .600. Will look much better in the end!
The other, is constant use of Dynamic Track pieces. If ORTS could just get rid of that feature all together I'd be happy!

I think on my route there is only one spot with Dynamic Track, and that is due to the fact I couldn't get the correct 2 track mainline curvature.
