Superelevation possible? (video)

[nikos1]

Alright someone here must know how he did this, he trys to explain but I suspect the language barrier prevents proper explanation, looks like it was done through .GS files?

Probably the Banking Consist Rule.

Thats impressive but looks dangerous lol.

I think he/she is trying to simulate the movie, otherwise the train would be tilting the other way in the real world on super elevated track.

Its not the banking consist rule, in that only the body tilts, not the trucks, in this both are tilting as they would in true superelevation.

He wrote his own script and said he would upload it to the DLS when he's finished with it.

Not true.....

 

[nikos1]

Not true.....

Bringing this back again, explain George?

Its not the banking consist rule

this script works with the same function, the banking consist rule uses. So superelevation is the same.

If the curve were super elevated like that in real life, there would probably be a hell of an explosion in never never land.

It has been my experience running a variety of locos around the Loops with the "banking" set to 4 degrees or so...about normal for banking....that both the loco body and the bogies tilt in a manner which in some cases lifts the wheels on the outside of the turn almost a foot into the air. Looks fairly silly, especially as the train was only doing about 20mph. I think the Banking Consist Rule takes into consideration the degree of curvature of the track but not the speed of the train. For this reason I usually set the rule to about 1.5 or 2, but in every case I have seen so far the bogies do in fact tilt. Except of course for those locos that won't tilt at all, or those that tilt in the wrong direction.
