Road incline/decline in %

[Oldrailfan]

I'm back again,

Looked high and low for a Display object that will show inclines/declines in plus x% and minus x%. Any pointers on how to set this up.

TIA

It looks like "(Elevation Grade)" is one of the calculated fields by RaceRender. So, that makes displaying the data a heck of a lot easier than trying to calculate it yourself!

Your best bet is probably a circular gauge like a Speedometer: In the "Gauge" category, I see a "Grade" option. That will already have (Elevation Grade) selected in the Field Dropdown for you. You could also adjust the Range from -20 through 20 to be something more reasonable for roads like -10 through 10. A lot of the other options there will change how the gauge looks like "Sweep" determining how many degrees the needle will move and "Rotate" adjusting where the needle starts at 0. You can also adjust the Colors used right there, and if you want to get super fancy, you can click the "Open Gauge Designer" button and adjust nearly everything including the font used for the numbers.

If you simply want the number, then a "Text Data" display Object could display that. You'd just select (Elevation Grade) in the Field dropdown in the Display Object Properties.
