Come and vote for your favorite Premier Shuttle Loop!

[Loefet]

Yes according to the rules, all coasters must be shuttles.

 

And from own experiences (judging/participating) of NL shuttle competitions I can say that that the tracks will be very different.

 

And I can almost guarantee that no track will be similar to mine

[DBru]

^I think mine is pretty unique too! (If only I could get it to stop in the station...

[upside down]

^ On the launch track, increase the decelaraton by .5, usually helps, or build a rear spike.

[sfotkid]

Uh.. I don't want to piss anyone off, but I think if 2 people have already made there tracks without knowing it could be shuttle or continuous, Its only fair to keep it as it is.

[DBru]

Okay, someone PLEASE help me! I finally got the train to stop in the station, but it's not lines up with the queue gates, nor do the restraints release when the train comes to a complete stop. I have no idea how to fix this, and I have been working on it for hours!

 

Here are some numbers (involving the station segment to help you out:

Main Brake- 4g deceleration

Shuttle Mode- 1 pass

Transport device- on

Transport speed- 45mph

Acceleration- 5g

Deceleration- 5g

Launch- on

Launch Acceleration- 1.5g

Prebrake- off

^^ Haven't it always been a shuttle comp, but if they can't read then you shouldn't change the rules so that they can enter. since there is over a month left then they have time to do another one.

 

^ Do you use the speeding down option on the booster segment before/after the station so you let it slow the train down before stopping in the station.

And set the speed of the transport device in the station to a much lower speed, you really don't need that much and it will help you stopping in the station.

[DBru]

^Yes I do. Here is the settings for the transport device...

 

Speed- 50

Acceleration- 1g

Deceleration- 0.36

Speeding Up passes- 1

Speeding Down- checked

Speed limit- 5mph

[coasterguy99]

Can the supports go outside of the area?

[Loefet]

^Yes I do. Here is the settings for the transport device...

 

Speed- 50

Acceleration- 1g

Deceleration- 0.36

Speeding Up passes- 1

Speeding Down- checked

Speed limit- 5mph

Increase the deceleration, to make the braking better.

Hey I said I'll join how come I'm not on the list?

[sfotkid]

[Loefet]

To give a little hint on what I'm been working on:

[dr.gumbo]

^ Bloody hell, good job I gave up. Does anyone else have any photo's of their rides.

[sfotkid]

^ OK so your bugging out?

^^ Great job, almost looks like a S&S launched.

[DBru]

Well, I suck at supports, so I probably will loose votes for that, but here is a picture of some of the twisty stuff...

Mind Wrangler!!!

[sfotkid]

Looking good. I guess that tunnel is the launch.

[DBru]

One of them is, yes. The whole launch is tunneled, and then the turn into the helix is also.

 

The other tunnel leads to a cool inversion...

[sfotkid]

Ooh, Im so excited! You can send in you things early if you'd like.
