Hello,
I've got NL for about a year but never had time to start something interesting. I made a first "coaster" that just featured a drop, followed by a vertical loop and final breaks in order to get used to the software. It was really horrible so I decided to read advices and to take more time for it.
So here's my first attempt on NL => Jungle Chase (wouahh! what an inspiration )
Some things to say about that Eurofighter:
-- I know, the lift is pretty unrealistic, but I found it cool and esthetical and decided to keep it
-- Some parts may be over or under supported and some supports may be also unrealistic but I try to make my best and didn't past a lot of time to study Gerstlauer structure
-- I didn't use Terraformer or any calculator for the moment, that'll be for the next project
-- There's no real theme, I just tried to insert pre-built scenery to see how it worked
Even with the time I spent on shaping the track, I encountered a lot of problems with the banked elements and the result shows it. There's a lot of pumps I would like to erase. I tried the "locked handles" function to modify 1 part of the ride but it didn't really work or I just must have to use it properly...
>> Nolimits Editor is well made but I didn't find 1 function that is very important for me. When I start creating a ride (from station to middle brakes for example), I would like to get a preview of the speed of the train to see if it goes at a correct speed in the hill, loop or whatever...I can get an idea of it, but I don't have the real value.
So let me know your opinion and if you have any advice, tip or idea, don't hesitate.
Thanks
