The Flying Snake (NL)
BorisTF replied to Jumboshrmp's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
No, no. With a straight drop, 1 segment will make the drop one smooth transition. With 2 or 3 the drop will/might bump. Not if you take time and build it right -
Afterburner stuck upside down?

The same way the TTD gets stuck on the top hat...lack of momentum either way -
Well, after getting the bluetooth adapter, I can finally share the very few pictures I 'snapped' at Download Festival, so, heres the only two of me I got on Download weekend... Download here I come... Post Sunday night riot, where I got no sleep, and was part of the anti-bonfire resistance. Behind me lies where several dozen tents were, but all of them got sacrificed to the Yobbish Fire God.

OK, heres a list of issues I've found (apart from the layout, which to be very honest, isn't good try and get some different directions in future) 1) The station is on the floor, raise it up a few ft/m to make it look more realistic 2) The lift hill: the best way to make these is a curve up, a straight section for the main portion (press 'i' to make it perfectly straight) then a curve outwards into the drop/pre-drop. You need a smaller curve up as well, you curve in is bigger than the curve out. 3) Apart from the shaping, the drop wasnt too bad, just try and keep the track from sinking into the floor (advice from number 1 applies here) 4) Try and make the brake run straight, more realistic that way...I know you havent done it here, but another thing to do is not bank the brake runs. Thats it (apart from some general bad shaping, but thats something you get the hang of eventually...I'm sure someone else here can offer some advice as to proper shaping. For future reference to (when you get to build a track with corners ) theres a piece of scenery shaped like a bit of cheese...you can use the edge of this cheese for your track to follow, and it makes the tracks somewhat less pumpy. Not the worst first coaster in NL I've seen either.....hell, this is better than some 2nds 3rds and 4ths I've seen.

You go on about stupidity, yet miss the fact he had an undiagnosed heart problem... -
Lift hill, drops, turns, powered by gravity, counts to me...(or will do when i get out there )

I don't think you can talk until you prove it! Post something... What does his skill have to do with saying you're full of yourself (a view I quite honestly agree with). He may not be the greatest designer (I'm sure you know I'm not trying to insult you there CP_Rules), but he's still entitled to his opinion. What makes you think you are the greatest on these boards anyway?

(NL)Woodland Twister
BorisTF replied to weeow's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
Two things are essential here... 1) The chain really needs to go all the way to the crest of the hill, i felt like i was about to roll back 2) and brakes before the station other than that, wasn't too bad, apart from the rough transitions and the need for better lead ins/outs of the corners -

Sure, the screwed up Kingda Ka, but that doesnt mean they've made a mistake with Eejanaikakakakaka. Just because we can't work out where the supposed 14 inversions go, doesn't mean Eejanaikakakakaka wont have 14 inversions. -
I'm mostly there for the bands, the only non-band friends i have are more often than people people i actually know...

upcoming no limits track
BorisTF replied to a topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
is it me, or does it look like the coaster shouldn't make it round the track....the hill after the dive loop looks like its the same size as the lift hill :-/ -

How Old Are You & What Was Your 1st Coaster?
BorisTF replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I'm nine of the teen years old, and my first coaster ever was Vampire @ Chessington, long before the Vekoma trains were added...even went on it twice that day
