Virtual Railroads/Steam Alco RS11 Stability

I love the vR RS11 and have both versions. It does however have a tendency to derail on curves due to toppling at what for anything else is a reasonable speed i.e it acts as if top heavy. Now I'm sure there must be a variable somewhere that determines this can someone advise what it is and where to find it? I'm not looking for crazy speeds just a little more stability.
Thanks in advance.

About how fast are you going through the curves?

35 mph on a curve everything else takes at 45 mph.

Good evening,
You can modify this line which is applicable to both locomotives and rolling stock. Set at 0 for no chance of derailment which I have done for similar problematic equipment in the past. Higher numbers (is set at 0.4375 in the example below) will cause higher probability of derailment.

Thank you for this info, I found that the standard RS11 setting is 0.7 so it's no wonder it falls over in a breath of wind. I am experimenting to get a "sensible" figure.
Much obliged.

In this case it is in the Main.bin and Maina.bin where there is one.
