I've got a question regarding superelevating splines: I want to superelevate a road to recreate a small racetrack like those you find in the small towns across the country. The only problem is that I can't superelevate the roads to recreate the banking of the racetrack, however, I can superelevate a nearby power line. Could someone explain how this is possible, someone with a little more knowledge about how the superelevation system works? I'm trying to create a fictional version of Newport Speedway, which my dad hasn't been to, even though he was born in the town it was named after, but he did go to it's predecessor, Tennessee-Carolina Speedway, which was at the Cocke County Fairgrounds, and since been demolished. Here's a Google Maps view of Newport Speedway: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Newport+Speedway/@36.01725,-83.2115163,755m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x885bc1a814320069:0xe73a52db5af9ebb7!8m2!3d36.01725!4d-83.2093276
Question about Superelevating Splines

I recommend dissecting the power line to see what the difference is. It could be the road you are using.
The alternative is to use "road" tracks and train racecarz.
Since this is a real track, then you could then super-elevate the curves.
To be honest, I would go this route since it's probably easier unless you want to fiddle, or perhaps learn something about it.

hi Jordon,
you could try to add the following tag to the "Track Part Container" of a road
use-superelevation 1
Good chance it needs a more modern config.txt for kind track
let me know if you get it working, maybe I can make racetrack Zandvoort in my country
later.. it works but carz stay straight

Can you give me the kuids for that?

How were you able to get that? I add the tag 'use-superelevation 1' and the cloned road becomes faulty, saying 'VE45: The tag 'use-superelevation' is not permitted within a container of type 'track'', and I'm using a trainz-build 4.6 road, a clone of euromodeller's 'EMTS Road 2 Lanes 00 No Traffic', <kuid:166065:112144>.
the essential parts can be found in the config
I used both istrack and isroad and isfreeway 1, it will choose to be placed from the track tab in surveyor
in the track container is the super-elevation bit
