Should be a good train, and I'm looking forward to driving it.

I really, really, really, really wish someone would make a Class 91/Mk4 DVT as they're my second favourite train!

I'd have a go myself (as I made most of the 142 for BVE 2) but I don't have the time anymore!

To be fair, you should simulate the GNER 91+DVT being delayed at every intermediate station ,as every passenger who's been chinged argues with the TM ;)

Only if you have it set to do so in BRR I'd have thought as I don't think BVE can do it on it's own. But then again with BRR you can have tilting tube trains :p

Well if you can do it with BRR why cant there be an plugin built to allow BVE4 to tilt on its own?

The ability of the plugins is very basic, and they are quite limited in terms of what data they can recieve from and send back to the sim. Whilst, like in real life, beacons could sent data about the approaching curve to the plugin, and by also knowing the speed it could calculate the tilt, there is no way for it to get BVE to tilt the train. The only 2 ways BVE can tilt a train are either based on the banking of the track (calculated from superelevation and gauge), which oviously are constant and set in the route file, or movement of the suspension, but that derives from centrifugal force (calculated from speed, curve radius and track banking) on a fixed centre of gravity above the underframe, and this will actually cause the train to lean away from the curve, totally oposite to tilt. Actually, passive tilt could be simulated by having the centre of gravity low, so when the train entered a curve the centrifugal force would cause the train to tilt into the curve, but the centre of gravity is hard coded into BVE, and also the action of the suspension would probably not be right either.

BRR will use one of the cheats to simulate tilt, either increasing superelevation on curves, or reducing the gauge the route. The latter is most likely since it's easiest, and gives the more realistic result (reduced gauge makes the train sway more, so makes the tilt seem a little more realistic).

The problem with BRR tilt of course comes when you stop on a bend and find your train is leaning sharply to the bend ;)

Yay! I've just been on 57311+390026 as well, to make driving the Pendo even nicer :)
