Depending upon the train speed in the curve, the cab might end up tilted a lot or a little relative to the driver's head. Splitting the difference between the landscape and cab is a good compromise. I look forward to seeing this further refinement of superelevation. A interesting idea to carry things even further might be to vary the tilt of both the cab and landscape with centrifugal force (i.e. the higher the centrifugal force, the less the cab tilt and the more the landscape tilt). If you're at a dead stop on a superelevated curve, then only the cab tilts. The only issue is I don't know if Open Rails currently calculates centrifugal force anywhere (that probably needs to be added eventually to account for friction on curves).
Related to superelevation-there are already track profiles for the default track and ScaleRail. I've made a profile for the default track with normal sized rails. I believe there are profiles for UK Finescale. Anyone know if there is a profile for DB tracks (both wood and concrete)?
