Static crossings

There are two types of static crossings.

1. Small crossings of two rails with a small angle

The small crossings are 50m long. One rail connecting End 1 and End 2 goes directly from north to south. The other rail goes from northeast to southwest (Crosnm50) and from northwest to southeast (Crotnm50). Here you see Cros2150, a single rail crossing the straight double.

All simple crossings are called with the same parameters:

Parameter | Value | Meaning
%1 |  | Geographical width
%2 |  | Geographical Length
%3 | 0 | Rail is place on the surface of the FS terrain.
| Unequal 0 | Absolute Altitude of the rail above sea level in m
%4 | 0.250 | Scale. Should always be 0.250.
%5 | Orientation | Orientation of the rail on the terrain (0 = south-north direction)
%6 | 0-7 | Wires, Pylons and lamps: 0 no wires, no night illumination 1 wires, no night illumination 2 wires, simple pylons, no night illumination 3 wires, massive pylons, no night illumination 4 wires, massive pylons, lamps, night illumination for FS2000 5 wires, no pylons, no lamps, night illumination for FS2000 6 no wires, no pylons, no lamps, night illumination for FS2000 7 no wires, pylons with lamps, night illumination for FS2000
%7 |  | Height of the northern end in 25 cm units above Surface, if %3=0 %3, if this is >< 0
%8 |  | Height of the southern end in 25 cm units above Surface, if %3=0 %3, if this is >< 0
%9 | 0-105 | Embankment color 0: No embankment 1-FF: FS color 100-104: Texture 105: Seasonal texture
%10 |  | Range in m Rail is visible if within range. Typical value is 7000. The last digit is used to encode the rail texture.

Available are the following macros: Cros1150, Cros2150, Cros2250, Crot1150, Crot2150, Crot2250.

2. Bigger macros with two parallel rails connected by a single or double crossing.

These macros have two dual parallel rails at the correct distance for the stations. See also the list in the chapter on switches.

The parameters are the same as for the above crossings, %7 and %8 are always ignored, the heights are 1.

The available lengths are 50, 100, 125, 150, 200 and 300m. The xx-versions have an intermediate double crossing, the 2x versions an intermediate single crossing. The 200m versions are geometrically identical to the moving macros M1Pa2xx2 and M2Pa2xx3 which are the most complex of all macros.

Hints:

I recommend not using the value 0 for %7 or %8 to avoid a multitude of potential problems. For the big crossings under FS98 set %9 to 0.
