    Dynamic Roads?

    Wondering if ORTS could offer a system for dynamic roads similarly to dynamic track?

    ORTS doesn't 'offer' Dynamic Track as it is not an editor.

    Goku's editor does offer Dynamic Track that can be bent either left or right. a big improvement.

    On the The Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor there is a Tablet. On it is written:
    "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
    the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
    I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

      No Vince. But ORTS would have to have something built in to make the idea work though. Dynamic track is no trivial thing in either simulator.

        Vince's point is still valid... Until ORTS comes up with a new editor, it's a moot point. Something would need to create the RDB lines to project a road section along.

        Since roads can be 2 lane, 4 lane, single or bi-directional, paved or unpaved.... you'd need to have cross-sections for a variety. Seems like a lot of variables and effort required for something that's not a player function.
        If you like what you see here at Trainsim.com, be it the discussions and knowledge in the forums, or items available in our library, I hope you'll consider a paid membership to help support keeping the site operating.... Thanks!

          Don't know how it works with ORTS but roads with TSRE have hidden support for all track features, including dynamic shapes and junctions.
          I think that in MSTS and OR it should work the same way.
          The main problem with dynamic roads is that roads are equivalent to a2 shapes, but dynamic tracks are equivalent to a1 shapes.
