^Could you upload the track that you are trying to put trough AHG, so that we know exactly what you're talking about.

Keep in mind that I am not even close to done. Feel free to leave any comments.

 

Please note that I take the elements that I am AHGing and make a separate trackfile.

 

If you can figure out the problem, please make a separate trackfile, and do not alter anything else.

 

Thank you in advance.

The problem was that you didn't give helix a proper lead-in meaning the AHG had hardly any space to alter the banking to eliminate laterals. Try and create proper lead-ins to your rides so that this doesn't happen.

 

Also, if you can find them, try and use some of loefet's 3d Track shapes. They help a ton when building elements like these.

When using white for the AHG, you always leave the track un-banked because the AHG banks it for you.

Do you happen to have the work you did? I would love to use it for future reference!

When using the AHG to smooth a track, it is always better if the segments are fewer and longer. This creates more room for error and acts as a filter rather than having to up the filter value to the extreme.

But I have noticed that the fewer the segments, the less correct the banking is.

 

Try a small number of segments and look at the banking. Then try a large number of segments, and the banking is more.

^As long as the banking is enough to keep the lateral g's down, it doesn't really matter. And if the banking is NOT enough to keep the lats down, just play with the entrance/exit speeds until you get banking that you are satisfied with.

 

 

I have a question about AHG, though...what actually is the filter? Does it just help to smooth your track?

Banking problems have nothing to do with messing with speeds or segment lengths. As long as the speed is accurate and the segments are a decent length, you're fine.

If you don't think the banking is extreme enough, then raise the Precision value. Typically for something such as a B&M floorless I would put it on 8 or 9. 6 usually isn't enough for twisty coasters. And also, if you up the precision, up the filter value too. If I use precision at, say 8, I'd probably have the filter between 200 and 400.

 

^Filter is the tolerance for banking transitions between segments. If the filter is higher, the banking will be more smooth, but less accurate. If the filter is lower, it will be more accurate to the banking specification that the Precision defines, but will be much less smooth.

I use precisions of 10 or so and filters of between 500 and 1000. I have found those yield the smoothest tracks, and provide the best bankings.

Ok guys, I need you to do some searchin... I had downloaded the tack Desert Race off of coaster sims and loved the brake fins that came with it. The bad news is that my computer hard drive got fried about a month ago and lost ALL of my scenery.

 

Does anybody have Desert Race saved and can send me the track+scenery not as a trackpack but in a zip file( track packager is not installed and my profile on the computer does not allow me to install things)?

I believe in the screenshot folder. It would seem the most logical place for them to appear. I could be wrong though, I haven't recorded something in ages.
