Xpress Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Talos is a unique shuttle coaster, in the fact that it uses a new element I created and coined a "Talos Roll". It's basically just a really twisted up cobra roll. -Specs- 65 mph top speed 170ft. max height 1489ft. of track 4 inversions (2 forwards, 2 backwards). 4.6 max g-force -Special Features- 2 170ft. vertical lift hills 2 20 mph cable lifts Inversion features near 0g at the top So, I'm working on the ride still. Need to make a 3Ds station now, then add some theming into the ride, then I'm pretty much done. Checklist: Track: Yes Supports: Yes Cartexture: Yes Tunnel: Yes Station: FAIL Theming: FAIL Talos.
Xpress Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 Another update. I finished part of the station. Now I need to add the Q lines, a ride operators booth, and that should be about it, I think.. Talos, again. Station is in there somewhere...
Kalepi_Konei Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I like this ride but I have 2 questions... 1. Can you change the color of the track to more of a yellow/orangish kinda thing? (I think that would look cool with purple supports) 2. Can you make a POV for youtube for people like me who dont have no limits?
Xpress Posted July 26, 2008 Author Posted July 26, 2008 No No 1st of all, I like these colors. They go well together, as they are cool colors with a splash of warm color. 2nd of all, I'm not going to waste my time (and limited file space) on making a pov of the ride for people who can't spend the $30 to get NL. However, I will make a teaser trailer, eventually before I release the ride...

Well then, if you don't mind, I'll "waste" my time and make a POV for people without NL once the ride is up for download.
dr.gumbo Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 I'm sorry but I have to agree that those colours are awful (according to the picture). The ride itself looks nice though, even though I'm not the biggest fan of shuttles. BTW You didn't have to be so rude to him. He was only asking and unless you haven't noticed, most people do waste their time to make POVs for those without NL. Its a magical thing called I like to call 'kindness'. Just remember that for future reference.
KPWoCkAxX Posted July 27, 2008 Posted July 27, 2008 Those two colours do actually go together, but however they just don't seem to fit the ride properly. Good coaster though.
Xpress Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 VFB, do so, and i'll be putting out a report on you. This ride belongs to me, and I'm not giving you permission to put up a POV of it. Sorry, that's just the way it is. I payed $30 for the sim, and will only share the tracks to people who also wish to pay $30 for it. ooOOoo
Sasquatch Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 First off, stop being such an asshat to people who are only offering constructive criticisms and/or advice. Second, if you are going to be so discriminatory against non-NL users, then why post on a site that caters for all RC games, instead of a NL-only site? Or even if you cant make a video, at least be polite about it! Third, if someone did make a POV, on what basis do you intend to report them?? There is no copyright or patent on your design, and to be honest i dont see what the problem is as long as it is credited to you! Isnt this doing you a favour anyway by putting your design out there? I dont see how such a thing could be bad. Just a few thoughts.
ArrowHater Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 ^Yep soo true. And I aint paying no d*mn 30 dollars for a coaster track. It better be worth 30 dollars and come with a tpr bad-o-crap or something!! Geez.

He was just trying to do you a favor, and save you time; you don't have to be such a b!tch about it! Today gas prices are reaching almost $5.00, which is rising the price of food, clothing, and shelter. Some (young) people's parents won't lend them their credit card to buy a $30 simulation that isn't a necessity. Just grow up, LET someone show your work, and stop being an a$$hole!
coasterlover420 Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 If you're not willing to share your coaster in other ways, then there's really no point in posting it onto this forum. A lot of people here don't have the simulator and they don't have to pay 30 dollars for it. It's completely your choice to share it as you wish, but if you don't want to share for everyone, there's no point in sharing for anyone.
Vekoma Fan Boy Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 VFB, do so, and i'll be putting out a report on you. This ride belongs to me, and I'm not giving you permission to put up a POV of it. Sorry, that's just the way it is. I payed $30 for the sim, and will only share the tracks to people who also wish to pay $30 for it. So? Robb and Elissa ROUTINELY pay $40+ to go to an amusement park and take POVs of the coasters there so people who don't want to/can't go to the park can see what the coasters are like. Many of which are free. If it is such a big deal for you to have a video made for you, then fine, I won't make the video. But next time, show someone the copyright before you threaten them with a report.
Xpress Posted July 30, 2008 Author Posted July 30, 2008 Such whiners. Fine, if you're going to complain about it, I'll get someone to make a friking video. Gosh... Don't expect it to be out soon though, as this weekend I'm going on vacation, then a week after, I'm leaving for 3 weeks.
Golfie Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 No No Let him do what he wants... it's his project. I think it looks awesome. And although I believe you could've chosen a better color scheme, the layout is simple, yet unique. Now, let's all get back on topic and stop turning this thread into another Games, Models, and Other Randomness thread fight.
coasterlover420 Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 ^lol wouldn't it be great if we had a thread just for fighting... anyway...I personally don't mind the colors. I think they're a typical selection for a coaster without a really defined theme...
rollerboy Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I'm in the middle about the colours. I think the coaster looks average, but I'm yet to ride it so I cant really say if I like it or not. Jordan.
coasterlover420 Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 It's kinda like X. I mean, it was PINK and YELLOW! Who likes pink and yellow coasters?
CCJared Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 I'll do the POV when Xpress emails me the coaster.
