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.

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

Re: SCALEXTRIC | Big issue with C8295 Elevated Cross Over
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.
