These track profiles allow use of the super-elevation feature in Open Rails together with Norbert Rieger's DBTracks. They mimic the original DBTracks shapes as best as possible.
If you wish to replace dynamic tracks within a route and/or generate new track shapes, you should instead use the DPP profiles provided by Norbert with Dynatrax.
## Installation
This repository only contains the track profiles. The textures can be obtained from the [DBTracks packages](https://dbtracks.com/pages/DownloadDBTracks.html). You most likely have the textures already if you need these profiles for super-elevation.
**NOTE:** Use of multiple profiles is only supported from testing version _T1.5.1-1390_ or _NYMG rev. 160.2_ onwards.
### Steps to install:
1. Download and extract the [latest release](https://github.com/pgroenbaek/dbtracks-stf-profiles/releases).
2. Copy all the track profiles from the `TrackProfiles` folder.
3. Place all of them into the `/TrackProfiles` folder.
Open Rails will now automatically generate super-elevated track based on the type of DBTracks sections used in the route.
## Usage
The profiles are already configured to match DBTracks variant based on the `DB` and `V4hs` prefixes of the shape file names.
If you have track shapes named anything else, additional match conditions can be added using the `IncludedShapes` parameter within each track profile file. You can also use the `ExcludedShapes` parameter if necessary.
### About Dynatrax generated track sections:
You can make all Dynatrax track shapes use a profile by default by adding `Dynatrax-*` to the `IncludedShapes` parameter within one of the profiles. For example `IncludedShapes ( "DB2f_*, Dynatrax-*" )`.
If there are Dynatrax track shapes that you want to use other track variants for, you can then rename the shape file names to include the DBTracks prefix. For example from `Dynatrax-40892.s` to `DB2z_Dynatrax-40892.s`.
As with previous versions of Open Rails you can also copy/paste a profile and rename it `TrProfile.stf` to use it for regular dyntrack.
### Further documentation:
More details on how to use these track profiles is available in the [Open Rails documentation](https://open-rails.readthedocs.io/en/latest/options.html#superelevation).
More information about the technical aspects of STF track profiles in Open Rails is available in [this document](https://static.openrails.org/files/OpenRails-Testing-How%20to%20Provide%20Track%20Profiles%20for%20Open%20Rails%20Dynamic%20Track.pdf).

If anything is missing, feel free to suggest more by creating an issue.
## Known issues
- There is no good way to place objects at an interval along the generated track with STF profiles. For example the following is missing from super-elevated track:
- Connectors between the two overhead wires in f-variants.
- Supports for the 3rd rail in sh-variants.
- Textures are not yet properly mapped to the 3rd rail in sh variants, this will be fixed eventually. If you want to have a go at doing the texture mapping properly, feel free to do so and submit a pull request with it.
Feel free to create an issue if you find more.
