Here's the track - enjoy it!

[EuroTre]

Very good job! I liked the compact and realistic feel of this smooth and well designed track.

 

Plenty o' positives. Hope others feel the same way.

i;m very impressed with this design! The only thing I can suggest is to customize the dispatch settings. I feel w/ the way it is operating right now defeats the purpose of the mid course brake run!

[Théo the little french]

All I have to say is: PERFECT!!!!!!!!

 

 

I'm really impressed by your job! It's really realistic, really smooth, really funny!! I loved

[Loefet]

Good coaster, very realistic.

 

But:

The clearances are really bad, tunnel-test multiple times during construction.

The brake after the station isn't realistic, you can't have that kind of brake on a turn, if you need a block/transport, add one with just kicker wheels.

The two supports before the MCBR that is over the helix below (pic 6 on the right side), needs a brace between the poles just beneath the tubes that attach them to the track, or it will not be a realistic support (ie. it will break IRL).

I know the tunnel testing sucked, but they would only be a problem if two trains were intersecting at that point. Otherwise, the clearence doesn't pose an issue.

 

The brake after the station is the transfer track. If you look at other Euro Fighters, they use small segments of track that pivot on a single support axis.

 

You're right about those supports, though

good track the ride was smooth, and a great layout for a possible euro-fighter. The only problem is one of the supports decapitated me during the helix you may want to check that out

Yes, but you are still better off using kicker wheels.

this is the best NL track i have ever seen. period. and ask anyone, i'm a pessimistic biotch

Well even if it will never occur a run with 2 trains on that piece that is way too close, but health and safety would never approve to the design, and you had supports that were sticking far into the tunnels which are as equally bad.

 

Ok, but after taking a look on other Euro Fighters I see that every transfer track is straight, and your is not. And my point was that those kind of brakes and LIM does not work on a curved track. Which makes your track even more wrong.

 

When we are talking about brakes and stuff, then you should use only LIM brakes on your final brake run, and friction wheels instead of LIMs on the 2 bloks before the station.

you also seem to be easily pleased...while this is a good track it is what I call a "safe" design. Nothing totally major but a nice short ride.
