== '''What is superelevation in Trainz 22?''' ==


The "superelevation" or the slope of rails in curves is proposed since T:ANE. '''This page updates the instructions for Trainz 22'''<br>
 '''Important to note : '''  The ‘Superelevation’ function worked very well with T:ANE and Trainz 2019. As of today (2024 october the 9th), it does not work with Trainz 22 and Trainz PE.
 This error has recently been rectified and Superelevation is now available again, but for Trainz 22+ owners only.


To resist centrifugal force and and not to wear out prematurely the outer rail, the track must be tilted on bends.<br>
Applying a gradient to a curved section of track is called <b>superelevation</b>.<br><br>
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 been set to 4 °.<br>
