Vekoma Fan Boy

^It still wouldn't be painful. It pulls -1.1 gs at the bottom. No worse than on a ring of fire ride at a fair.

Just put the files in their corresponding NL folders. The track goes into the track folder, textures in the texture folder, folder with the 3DS objects into the scenery folder, etc.

I have a slight feeling that NL2 is gonna kill my computer. It already hates the new B&M and Vekoma tracks as it is.

^And? A CD or Flash Drive would work fine on both...

Its better to give G-Force limits instead of saying "No red G's." Especially now that Real has introduced his more realistic G force config file. When you say no reds, do you mean by the default NL G's or Real's G's?

While I've not had a chance to ride Bizarro, I don't see why it would ride any differently than superman aside from the trains being adequately 'broken in' over the course of the season.

Loefets Circle Building Tools And I'll post a picture tutorial tomorrow. Photobucket is being retarded and not letting me upload my pictures, and they are too big for TPR.

What do you mean 3-D objects to place my track? How would those help? Is it anything like circle building? I do that sometimes. I have no clue how to make more segments to create a smoother ride. Because more segments means more bumps. I can't hand build six segments in a turn or two because you can feel every node. Do you mean just splitting the longer segments? If that's the case, then aren't more segments only really for banking purposes? 1. It is circle building, only there are more shapes he made than just a circle. There is a circle, an Archimedean Spiral, Clothioid Spiral, a general Spiral, 2 parabola like objects, and a true parabola in the pack. 2. Using more segments gives you more control over the track, which makes a smoother ride (with practice). What I do, I rough out the layout using the 20-30 foot segments, and ignore the pumps till I'm done. Then I go split each segment again, delete the original node I placed, smooth the segment with control G, split the segment to replace the original node, and delete the other 2 when I'm done. (Trust me, its easier done than said. I'd be happy to post a pictorial of it if you didn't get that.) But either way, like I said, practice makes perfect. Just keep trying.

I liked the ride. It had a nice layout, great pacing, and I really liked the turnaround helix. It had its fair share of pumps, but every ride does. How I would recommend to fix them, is Loefet's track shaping tools. They aren't even tools in the sense you're thinking. They are .3ds objects that you use to help you place your track. If you know how to manipulate .3ds objects in the editor, your good to go. Also, you need to use more segments, segments about 20-30 feet long work best for me. I also have a special technique for smoothing out joints in trackwork, but that takes a bit to explain, so I'll only post it if you're interested. And lastly, I have to question the supports for the MCBR, they look very flimsy. The addition of some diagonal members to create would do wonders for the look and credibility of them. Overall, I'd probably give the ride a 7/10. Keep trying, I know what its like to get totally pissed at and/or bored with a project and just stop going with it. Ever wonder why you never see any of my tracks here?

It looks like the part of a deadbolt that sticks into the door frame to keep the door from opening.

Ah, my bad then. Sorry about that!

Its nothing. If mechanic doesn't know WTF it is, then it does not exist.

^Just saying Jack, MDF Plywood is both incorrect and redundant. MDF stands for Medium Density Fiberboard But either way, I would recommend a foam base over MDF, Plywood, or Masonite. Its easier to sculpt, and easier to insert the supports and other scenery items into. Also, modeling styrene would probably be a good material to use. It comes in strips, sheets, dowels, tubes, U/C channels, box channels, and many other forms in thicknesses from 1/100th of an inch to 1/4 inch. Two major vendors would be Plastruct and Evergreen Scale Models inc. Jake "Is a model railroader!" S.

Part of a ball bearing casing?

According to the file name... Its SOMETHING! Seriously, is it part of a clutch or drive system? Or, just cuz... A dildo?

^Hes talking about the WATER PARK in the picture. I tried finding the park with the looping slide in it, but oddly enough I actually couldn't.

^Actually I would assume there is very little weight on those rods. The whole gondola assembly should weigh at max 2 or 3 ounces per side.

^No. You can not make your own cars in NL. However, you can give them a custom paint job by editing the car texture with any photo editing program. These can be found in the NL Root Folder in the "Cartextures" file.

Wouldn't checking to see how the coaster runs be something you do as your building it?

Has anyone heard the new song up on Divine Heresy's Myspace as a preview for the new album? Holly freaking Jeebus it's great!!! Its called Face Breaker, and I know I'm buying a copy of Bringer of Plagues when it comes out! Also, I HATED the new singer when I heard his overdub of Bleed the Fifth, but he is GREAT with his own stuff! He really is a good replacement for Tommy, even if I'dve chosen to keep him as the singer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxO63r4relM

^That sir, would be manipulating a programs faults.

Voted. Good luck on winning the competition!

^I understand what you're saying. You're wondering how they get the crest of the lift hill heartlined without the train valleying. I've wondered the same thing myself. Please, someone shed some light on this subject.

*twitches* Monster....SLUSHY?? OMG!!! I'm going to Ohio!!
