Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Hi! It's me again. Now, I was wondering if ANYONE could make an RCT2/3 or No Limits recreation of everyone's favorite coaster, Windjammer Surf Racers! (insert sarcasm here) Now, I don't want to make this a contest, but rather just quick topic that anyone out there can post a Windjammer recreation. I tried to make one on RCT3, but I didn't realize how hard it really is to make one. I just want to see how good you RCT/No Limits fans really are at making coasters. Some suggestions: Get custom scenery such as Coaster Goodies, Steelworx (maybe even mouseworx for better supporting or whatever), Aceana's Pavement Essentials, etc. This will make it look more realistic. Also, I have a tip. Watch the 2001 Knotts Video on Coaster Expedition 1 and that should help you. So let the building begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 No Limits comes with a Wind Jammer recreation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 I know that; I own No Limits! But try to add some flare to it by adding scenery if you can. Make it better than it used to be! I really want to see creativity, so even though No Limits comes with one, try to make it look cool, that's why I made this thread.

dr.gumbo Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Why do you want us to show creativity by making a re-creation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Because Windjammer is HARD to make! I just want to see if anyone has patience, time, and scenery on their game to make it. Or if anyone already made one, I just want to see if they matched the scenery correctly to how the ride used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.gumbo Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Well, that isn't creativity, thats testing out skills. I think I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelegendarymatthew Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 Well I could give it a try, just need a nice aerial photo of the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Ok, I found some. Here they are. I couldn't find an ariel view, so I just looked for different photos of the layout itself. I'll search a bit more, so hang on tight. A better look at the cars. And the annoying complex braking system! A car-full of peeps saying "Get me off of this horrible Japaneese monster!!" The loop on Red track again, just for a better view. You can also see the brakes again. Windjammer Red coming out of the loop. You may notice that the yellow track has a hill angle that's un-useable on RCT3, so creating this section may be a bit of a challenge! The loops. You can see those weird beams that connect the two loops. Wonder why......... You also get a view of the brakes. Here you can see the lift, the turn to go to the drop and the loops, and the twisting layout in the later section of the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelegendarymatthew Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I got the track and everything, but the coaster won't finish it's course. Would you be ok if I made it a little bit taller? Because that's the only way I can get it to work. The small trains cause aren't as fast as the longer ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Of course you can do that! I don't care about height THAT much. Just make sure it works. Hey I figured out something! Did it stall in a place where it did in real life due to winds? That's ok because it makes for more realism! Also, maybe you can change the chain lift speed. Make it higher too.

Thelegendarymatthew Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 before I start adding the scenery, I want to know if this is the right layout? Yes I did put all 10 cars in there. If you play RCT2 you know how much it block brakes will take up I also would like to remind you that there is no scenery used(so far) SCR8.BMP Its all about the layout!

Top Thrill Dragster Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I too wish to see a good recreation of this ride. Here are a few photos. Photos are from twistedrails.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 That's pretty good, by what I remember seeing on a video of it. If you want another tip, buy (unless you already own) Coaster Expedition 1 and watch the Knott's coaster footage. It shows the complete layout of the Red side. The only thing I see missing is the 2nd brake section. Right after the 2 duel on the overbanked curves there is one after a few bumps. By what I can see, they aren't there. But so far that is great!! Exactly what I was looking for! Now just add some scenery. See the brakes on the top right? I don't see them on your track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 I'm not really ordering. I'm just saying if you do this, maybe it would be better. If I am sounding a bit commanding, I don't mean to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPWoCkAxX Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Mathew your loops arent the same as in that photo............. If you look carefully they are Parallel. Yours arent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 Here, to realign the loops, make the red turn the diagonal type and the yellow the tightest type. This makes a one-block gap which allows the loops to be next to each other without touching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPWoCkAxX Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Or.......... You could get a trainer and turn the collisions off, then build the coaster and then restore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Also, the red loop goes left, and the yellow loop goes right, to there shouldn't be any alignment problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPWoCkAxX Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I've noticed that after that hell on the left of the loops the straight track is waaaay to long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Really quick question. I don't know if this is the right thread, but does anyone have an aerial photo of Batman the ride at SFGAd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Are you almost done Matthew? Custom scenery and placing it takes time, but maybe you could update it every now and then. Maybe you can take some test pics and some pics of putting up stuff around it. Have you already done it? Just keep it up and try not to forget. I think it's gonna be cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBannedKid Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 It he your slave or something? Someone sure is demanding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six Flags Enthuseast Posted September 3, 2008 Author Share Posted September 3, 2008 Ok, I'm not trying to sound demanding!! Sorry if I am. I don't really believe in slavery because it's mean and wrong. I'm just saying he SHOULD (not must) update every once and a while, just so we can see how he's doing on it.

mcjaco Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 ^ Dude, you need to cool your posting jets. It's starting to border on posting for psoting sake, and more importantly: Annoying. And no one needs to pipe up after me, or the wrath of Matt will strike upon all of you with great vengence. End of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
