weeow Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 Looks nice! What graphics card do you use? It's amazing!
Chris Benvenuto Posted September 28, 2006 Posted September 28, 2006 The Xcel towers look great, the TTD/KK ones are terrible IMO. Just my thoughts.
sickskillz14 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Posted September 28, 2006 ^^ Im using the Radeon X700 AGP X8 with 265mb of memory and its pretty good for playing games on high detail. Currently im working on some more supports but they are taking awhile since I am getting them like intamin does instea of just some cheap custom support like I usually do. However I might start some terraining tonight or tomorrow.

However I might start some terraining tonight or tomorrow. I'm using the ATI Radeon 7000 series. I'm not sure which one though. I hope to buy a really good one someday. How much did yours cost?
sickskillz14 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Posted September 29, 2006 ^^ Ok I tried to make it the thinnest I could without touching the hill into a dive turn with any supports and it does look a bit better. I'm still working on making it smooth up there since making it smaller cause some big bumps. ^ I think mine cost somewhere around $170 but I can't really remember. I hope I can upgrade my computer soon though and get some PCI X16 slots. Now for an update. I have completed supporting on the first hill after the tophat and am now moving on to the turnaround. I probably won't start it until tomorrow and I will also get in some terraining while I can. Now for some pics.
CP_RULES Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 The new pacing of 1.6 makes some of the older ride types TOO Fast! 6 cars is so much more realistic then 5. Is it different for each coaster type? Becuase it makes my B&M hypers a lot slower.
coasterfan200692 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 I dont like the supports with the 3 towers, it dosnt look right, but neither did the Kingda Ka one, it was too bulky. I would do something like a fan design but it's up to you. The fan would be unusual and original though...
coasterfan200692 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 The track looks great, I really like the layout.
sickskillz14 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Posted September 29, 2006 UPDATE: I have finished the supports on the huge turnaround and im now half way finished with the hill after that. I should be getting to some terraforming soon but I need to plan out where it is going to be and how it is going to fit in with the coaster. I think i might just make big mountains and hills around the coaster and see how that works out. But, for now back to more supporting. Oh and here are some pics of progress.
coasterlover420 Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Hmmm....Those supports don't look custom...
165loops Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Hmmm....Those supports don't look custom... still supports though, yeah I will admit custom ones are better but does depend on how much time people need to get things done. Main things I use custom supports for is like lifts and turnarounds, oh yeah and inversions. I noticed when I use them, they seem to like smudge into each other anyway of making this look better?
sickskillz14 Posted September 29, 2006 Author Posted September 29, 2006 ^^^ Trust me those straight supports are custom and take like a minute each to make theres just not much I can do with them but make them straight. However when I add the flanges you will see hte difference and they won't look like prefab. For now an UPDATE! I have completed work on the launch track and supporting the catwalk for it, and I have also finished the hill after the turnaround. Here are some pics.
NitroRider Posted September 29, 2006 Posted September 29, 2006 Looks really cool. Now I REALLY wish I had NL
sickskillz14 Posted September 30, 2006 Author Posted September 30, 2006 Thanks for the comments guys. Now for another UPDATE! I have decided that I might remove the center support of the tower and make it less cluttered around there. I have some pics so tell me what you guys think.
165loops Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 that track is great, nice supports, do you know when the download will be available?
sickskillz14 Posted September 30, 2006 Author Posted September 30, 2006 ^Thanks. Well with progress so far im up to the hill right after the dive turn so probably in a week or two depending on how much time i have to work on it in a day. Also im going to attempt to do some good terraforming and MAYBE some 3ds although i don't really know how to use it well. I'll have a good estimate this week though of when it will be finished.
weeow Posted October 1, 2006 Posted October 1, 2006 My favorite supports that you have are the ones supporting the launch's catwalk. They look great!.
coasterlover420 Posted October 2, 2006 Posted October 2, 2006 The supports for that tophat look unstable...
sickskillz14 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Posted October 2, 2006 ^ Don't worry. It actually has more supporting that Xcel and Xcel is a real coaster. Although I don't know if those extra supports reaching the top of the tower would collapse or not. O well either way the track won't collapse thanks to NL floating magic. Ok now for an UPDATE! I have completed supporting half of the track. I now am up to the 2nd dive turn, and still working on the supports right now. Now for some PICS!
coasterfan200692 Posted October 3, 2006 Posted October 3, 2006 Oh, please hurry and post a download, Im crazy about this roller coaster! Im so excited.
sickskillz14 Posted October 3, 2006 Author Posted October 3, 2006 ^Don't worry i'll have the download up by probably next week or weekend but i'll let you guys know for sure very soon. Ok so it's UPDATE time again. In this days update I have completed 60% of the supports for the coaster, so right now im up to the little tight twists which you will see in one of the pics im going to post. After supports are completed (hopefully by thursday) I am going to start terraforming if I decide to, or just start on the scenery. Ok so now for some pics. Big thanks to Maxamillious for takin some pics for me in NL 1.6 so they look much better now
