DBru Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I've been working on this for a few days, and I think it is post-worthy. Take a look, and please tell me what you think... EDIT: Structure fixed... Raven-080309203656000.bmp First drop! Raven.nltrack Enjoy!
haux Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 I haven't downloaded it yet, but from the picture I can see two things that are wrong. The color is too dark and red, and you should be using the stair step supports.
sfotkid Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Ok. The real Raven's length is 2371' long, Your's is 2027'. Height is 80' your's is 72'. Your only remotely close to the speed wich is 48 mph and yours is 45 mph. Other then that, its a Ok recreation.
haux Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 It's decent. There are some red G spikes. Ride in the front seat and the back seat. There's a red negative G-force in the second hill, and there are some red lateral G's in the turns after the fifth drop. The turn over the lake is too banked. The last big turn to the right is a little too banked, and it's shaped funny. The read turn swoops downhill a bit. There are tires in the station and brake run when there shouldn't be. It should all be gravity. The final brake run is a little short. The color is still off a little. It should be lighter. This looks like the wood was stained. The terrain was only barely tinkered with too. The ravine the first drop is in is deeper. Work on it a bit more. Watch the G-force spikes in the red.
DBru Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 ^Yeah, I just tested it in the front seat... I tried to work on the color, but it wouldn't work out right. Oh, and I tried to make the ravine, but if I took it down very much, it would fill with water, and if I disabled the water, I couldn't make the lake turn... Any tips on terrain?
haux Posted March 10, 2008 Posted March 10, 2008 Build the coaster higher. Instead of making the station 10 feet off the ground, make it 30 feet. Build the terrain around that. To get the right color, you'll have to customize the colors. When choosing the color, click on "Define Custom Colors," and choose there.
DBru Posted March 10, 2008 Author Posted March 10, 2008 Color= Fixed (I think) Banking= Lowered All Seats Tested= 0 red g's Raven-080309230115000.bmp Version 1.2 Raven.nltrack
haux Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 You still have red G spikes. Watch it in 25 percent speed. I only looked in the front row. And just making the tires disappear in the station doesn't make it right. Angle the station downward. Gravity needs to get that train out of the station, not tires. The same goes for those brakes in the brake run. Gravity. Not invisible tires. The color's a bit better. Be sure to use those custom colors more often. They're great. Look at these screenshots, and pay attention to the G-forces. You've got to work on those. More banking, wider turns, etc. Eight. EIGHT G's entering the brake run. We're dead. Or at least going to the hospital with broken necks. 3.4 lateral G's? My body! Look at the negative vertical G's. Ouch!
DBru Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 How are you getting those g ratings? Like I said, I rode it in EVERY seat, and didn't get one red g.... help?
sfotkid Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah Im not getting them either. re you runnin V.17?
haux Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I'm running the most recent NoLimits. Try running it in 25 percent speed. If you don't get them, maybe my computer hates me. That wouldn't be the first time.
thrillrideseeker Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah Im not getting them either. re you runnin V.17? I am running V.17 and I got the G-Spikes. Also there are two places where tree's hit the track. Put tunnels on all of your track and "Walk through it" don't ride and you will see what I am talking about. Plus if you put on the tunnel you will notice that right before the lift the tunnels collide. Other than those few things it was pretty good! ~Matthew
haux Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Tunnels colliding isn't a problem unless two trains are in that area at the same time.
pkd freak Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I see your a great disigner in NL, I suck in it... it's to hard for me...lol. Raven is looking good.
sfotkid Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Actually I got them to, Just took a look a it again and yes they are there.
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 How are you getting those g ratings? Like I said, I rode it in EVERY seat, and didn't get one red g.... help? He was running it at 25% speed. Which gives the most accurate G ratings.
DBru Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 (Not to sound like an idiot...) But how do you run it in 25% speed?
AlmereStars Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 (Not to sound like an idiot...) But how do you run it in 25% speed? hit the - on your keyboard a few times (works for me) hit + to go back
Coasterlvr_nc Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I saw 6 red spikes running V1.7, two being vertical. IMO you need to work on your banking a little bit more, it was a little pumpy in parts.
DBru Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 I'm running 1.7 too, and the highest I got was dark yellow. But like I said, I don't know how to run it in 25% speed... (the - didn't work...)
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 I'm running 1.7 too, and the highest I got was dark yellow. But like I said, I don't know how to run it in 25% speed... (the - didn't work...) Is it the minus sign on the Number Pad? (That is the one I use) If that doesn't work, try turning NUMPAD on. (I don't know if it makes a difference)
DBru Posted March 11, 2008 Author Posted March 11, 2008 I'm on a laptop, so I don't have a number pad...
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 Try going into the simulator settings and changing it then.
DBru Posted March 12, 2008 Author Posted March 12, 2008 -All red G's fixed -Color perfected -Banking corrected Any better? Raven.nltrack v1.3! Raven-080311211343000.bmp Lake turn!
