			=='''Discussion on the effectiveness of elevation with Trainz 22'''==

			Now we are expert on Superelevation, how does it work in Trainz 22?

			Let's see with a simple exemple : with a curve (chord = 145m, arrow = 24, max speed = 30 kmh, metric gauge), our spreadsheet calculates a <u>track inclination = 3.3°</u> for a Angle of curve = 73.3 and a '''Superlevation Degree = 0.05''' :

			1 - We do same calculations with the old version of the spreadsheet for an aplication with Trainz 2019 (see How/To [https://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php/HowTo/Use_Superelevation HowTo/Use Superelevation] )<br>2 - For Trainz 22 environment, we set the Superelevation Degree to 0.05 (according the results of the spreadsheet) and also at its maximum (1 by degree of ''Angle of bank'').

			And here is the result :
			<table><tr><td width=200><td>
			[[File:img404.jpg]]
			</td></tr></table>
			<table><tr><td width=600><td>
			I must say that the elevation function works very well with trainz 2019. This is no longer the case with trainz 22.
			Well, all I have to do is send a bug report.
			</td></tr></table>

== Superelevation : a new feature ==

The "superelevation" or the slope of rails in curves is proposed from now on in T:ANE.

Here is the example of a machine launched to 80 kph in a curve of 500 meters of beam. The slope of the track has to be 4 ° to resist the centrifugal force and not to wear out prematurely the outer rails.

However, the implementation of the superelevation in T:ANE is little transparent for the moment. Here is thus a small guide that will supply you all the necessary elements.

In T:ANE, the superelevation is adjusted by means of two parameters. We reach them by the panel "track", and "advanced"
