Here is the example of a machine launched to 80 kph in a curve of 500 meters of beam.  Its slope has to be 4 ° to resist the centrifugal force and not not 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 who will supply you all the necessary elements.

+
 
+
In T:ANE, the superelevation is adjusted by means of two parameters. We reach it by the panel "rail", and " advanced mode "

[[File:11.jpg]]  By clicking a '''summit of spline of track''', we reveal both parameters to be served:

The Superelevation is the height which takes the outside rail compared with the internal rail in a curve.
+
 
+
It is calculated as the plan below shows it:

If, to calculate the superelevation, the beam of the curve is unknown, it can be calculated by measuring the arrow and the chord of the curve:

Every country has its own standards of superelevation. We find them rather easily on the internet.
+
 
+
In France, the superelevation does not have to exceed 16 cms in standard gauge way and 10 cms in metrics.
