MSTS Track Elevation
Author: Sabe189

I have not been able to get into the MSTS forum due to firewall problems so I will ask for help here. I am laying a new line based on track charts and I need a specific elevation for each streach of the way. The problem is, that the elevation indicater is
+3.00 to -3.00 but I don't think that is the true setting for the slope. How do I get (as an example) a 0.89 grade?

MSTS gradients/elevations do not match anything used in railways/railroads...

But this should help:

Also, a little tool I wrote which will change the grade for you in MSTS (Poker):

(doesn't work on Windows ME)
