Feature Request: Option to define curve-to-speed reduction

[SirXavius]

It would be great if the user could define how much a train's speed is reduced based on the shortness of the curve.

For example, when encountering the first curve, the current reduction is S - 0 (Where S is the current train speed),but perhaps the user should define this. When encountering the next curve within x tiles, the speed is reduced by S - R% (where R is the percentage of speed to subtract).

Maybe a limit can be defined by the user, so that if the train is already going speed S, S is not reduced at the given curve.

curve speed is a property that can (or should) be influenced by NewGRFs. also, curve speed does not depend on the train's current speed at all. it's a flat limit.

[SirXavius]

I'm sure it's a hard-coded limit, which I why i'm asking the devs to soften it, and make it user-defined, if possible.

[Eddi]

The devs are not magical beings that you pray to and hope they bestow a gift upon you. somebody is going to have to do the work of both specifying the desired change and then implementing it.

if you feel like no dev is taking on this work, maybe you should start picking it up.

maybe you could start by figuring out how exactly it works now, and explaining what exactly you want to do differently.

This is already accessible via NewGRF NewRailTypes property 11 / curve_speed_multiplier.
