45 Degree track

[AmtrackFan]

So I have run into a little problem I need to make a perfect 45degree track spline for 14 miles and im not quite sure how to prefect this any ideas or methods.

Simple enough, use one of the angle guides available on the DLS, point it in the direction you want to go and start placing the track. The guide is only 5 km long so you will need to l=place several end to end to cover the full distance. Track doesn't attach to these guides so you just have to eye-ball it. There are other track guides that do allow track to attach. Use two with track between them. Then move one to the end point and the track will stretch between the guides. If you attached two tracks, they will be nicely parallel.

Who is the author for the angled guide I have the straight ones will the work.

No need for that guide; since the latest patch, the angle is also showing next to a ruler. So, patch to build 58414 and simply put a ruler down for 14 miles.

It's angle without the "d" and it's the same as my straight guide. They can be spun around to any angle.

Didn't know about the new ruler feature, still stuck at 49922 but it sounds like a step in the right direction. My guides will also help visually space up to 4 tracks. For more precise spacing, use the track guides, made for 3.5m, 4m and 5m center to center track spacing.
