Moving straight rails

 

This Chapter deals with moving straight rails only. Static straight rails have different rules and are described in another chapter.

 

The name of these objects is MsRanlll. Here s =1, 2, 4 or 8 and tells us how long the train stays on the rail, n =1 to 4 fixes the number of rails, lll describes the length in m. So M1Ra2100 is a dual track straight moving rail of 100m length and the train passes through it in one slot = 6 seconds. 100m in 6 seconds corresponds to a speed of 60 km/hour. The following example shows M1Ra2100 called with parameters: %6 = 3, %7 = 10001, %8 = 1020, %9 = 0.

 

All moving straight rails are called with the same parameters:

Parameter Value Meaning
%1   Geographical width
%2   Geographical Length
%3 0 Rail is placed on the surface of the FS terrain.
  Unequal 0 Absolute altitude of the rail above sea level in m
%4 0.250 Scale. Should always be 0.250.
%5 Orientation Orientation of the rail on the terrain (0 = south-north direction)
%6 0-7 Wires, Pylons and lamps:

0 no wires, no night illumination

1 wire, no night illumination

2 wires, simple pylons, no night illumination

3 wires, massive pylons, no night illumination

4 wires, massive pylons, lamps, night illumination for FS2000

5 wires, no pylons, no lamps, night illumination for FS2000

6 no wires, no pylons, no lamps, night illumination for FS2000

7 no wires, pylons with lamps, night illumination for FS2000

%7   Train # for primary timing. If negative, trains run left.
%8   Timing of primary train in form ssnn

Ss = Time the train enters the macro southbound

Nn = Time the train enters the rail northbound

%9 0-105 Embankment color

0: No embankment

1-FF: FS color

100-104: Texture

105: Seasonal texture

%10   Range in m

Rail is visible if within range. Typical value is 7000.

The last digit is used to encode the rail texture.

%13   Timing of secondary train in form ssnn

Ss = Time the train enters the macro southbound

Nn = Time the train enters the rail northbound

If %14=0 the train %7 is displayed twice per cycle

%14   Secondary train

 * These rails are only callable as user defined rails.

Hints:

The height of the end of the moving straight rails is always 1 unit = 25 cm. To change the altitude use the moving rail ramps.

For FS95 and FS98 use of very long moving rails is essential to reduce usage of scenery buffer. As an example you see here M8Ra2O00.
