Realistic Track Gradients

Lowers the maximum gradient of every railway track so your lines climb like real ones. The default is 40‰ (4 m of climb per 100 m) instead of the game's 85‰, and you can pick anything from 10‰ to 85‰. HOW TO CHANGE THE SETTINGS Settings can't be changed while you're playing. To change them, save and quit to the main menu, open Load Game, click the gear icon on your save, go to the Mods tab and click the gear on Realistic Track Gradients. Then load the save. For a new game, set them in the mod list before starting. Settings: - Max track gradient: the steepest gradient you can build. Real mainlines rarely exceed 25‰; mountain lines reach 40–60‰. - Embankment slope: how steep the sides of raised banks are. 1:2 means 1 m of height takes 2 m of width. Gentler looks more realistic but uses more land. - Cuttings too: use the same slope for cuttings into hills (by default the game cuts them steeper). - Override modded tracks: tracks from other mods that set their own gradient keep it unless this is on. New settings only affect track you build afterwards; track you've already built keeps its shape. Depot and industry tracks keep their own (steeper) gradient.
