Before TS2014 I was playing with Class 390 EMU on WCML route in high speed run up to 125 mph without any rapid side to side movement.
Now, there is a new "feature" incorporated, when traversing curves, this tilting train rapidly jumps side way and I get a Drive Quality Penalty points.
Is any recommended style of driving, without obtain a Timeless Penalty.

Thanks.

Sadly the route was made before the implementation of superelevation. This means the bends are just as tight as in real life, but without any of the track cant feature to help the comfort on the bend.

Which as I understand is unsuitable for Career Scenarios with Class 390 EMU or any other with speeds of over 100 mph.
Really sadly.

No, the 390 can be used in career activities without this problem, there is a setting in career settings that affects the sensitivity and threshold of the vertical and lateral forces. If the numbers high enough it should be less sensitive to the tight corners.
I suppose the default activities would have to be cloned to be edited though.

Thanks David. Could you kindly direct me where the aforementioned settings are existsing, because I didn't found them.
Thanks a lot.

When you double click the scenario marker you get a pop out box on the right where the title and other scenario info is held. Theres a little icon at the top of that popout that switches to the career settings, such as the points for stopping. Theres a few boxes referring to drive quality. I still haven't properly sussed out the numbers but if you increase them it should make it more forgiving.

Unfortunately, it seems that those changes can't be saved in Career scenarios.
Never mind, I gave up on driving Class 390 EMU.
Many thanks David.
