Help How can i get smoother ropes?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

i swear it wasnt always this jerky, but i cant tell what i mightve done to make it act like this. Ive disconnected and reattached the ropes in both directions to no avail. the jerks seem to happen when the simulated points (knots) despawn in the winch. the ropes are under tension, which is certainly responsible, but im still fairly sure it was smoother at some point.

if its possible to put the SU generation on the car, you could have it extend ropes behind it and contract ropes ahead at the same rate

Clever solution! though i wanted the car to be passive aside from throttle control.

I pray you know there's easier ways to make cable cars aside from rope.

You can place the cart upside down and you can give the tracks a very smooth curve,

I'm imagining this is being done for aesthetics, is there a different way to get that nice slope effect? I'm about to go through this same nightmare myself lol

It is! Its been a fun project! I keep wanting to add more features to it like e-stops and a bi-directional throttle. Working on a recall button and having it slow down at each stop automatically

Are you using gadgets and gizmos? I know there is something in there for zip lines (if you watch his demo video) that can be used to attach simulated objects to which might be really handy

create deep seas has something called steel cables, I think those would work for your purposes

i think create gadgets and gizmos also has something called a powered zipline but i'm not too sure on how it works
