Gradients

Post by DavidBrown »

Hi all,

Something I'm trying to work out is how the gradients in Trainz are measued. We all know that, in real life in the UK, as an example we would say 1 in 100, but how would such a gradient be shown in Trainz? 0.10? 1.00? Thanks in advance.

Yes, 1 in 100 is 1.00, 1 in 50 would be 2.00.

Treat it as 1/100, and then move the decimal point two places to the right.

hth,

Anthony

Trainz uses percentages. So 1 in 100 is 1%, 1 in 80 is 1.25%, 1 in 200 is 0.5% etc. Go to this site for an easy calculator -http://www.trainman.id.au/grade.htm
