Great news Jan,
Thank you very much

And proof that it's good in the now-available 6.2.5:

Oh!!! this is a wonderfull new.

With R3 curves, the equivalent pattern is:

Personally, I prefer "transition curves", where you lead in gently and get tighter, before leading out gently again. (e.g. R3 then R2 then back to R3). I still need to work out the pattern for that though!

David,
I have found another isuue but I don't have permission to publish a new issue.
I have tried but I can't.

I have tried to design the attached Scalextric Set with RailModeller Express but there are a gap and I can't close the Set.

[david oxford]

Are you sure it's RailModeller that is wrong, though?

You have one diagonal half-straight, which is hard to balance out exactly. Also, a gap that small is usually closeable in practice due to the track's flexibility.

Hi David,
I am not sure who is wrong.

You are wright about closing the gap.

NOTE 1:I took that Set from:
https://www.slotcar-union.com/es/fun-tr ... 4-set.html

NOTE 2:
I don't know what is a diagonal half-straight.

Thank you for your help

[david oxford]

This is a half-straight (C8207) and is on a diagonal. It's hard to make things match up exactly when you have an odd number of diagonal pieces, in general.

My conclusion is that the RailModeller version of this is probably right.
