B&M Hypercoaster Contest

^Oh okay, thanks! I only had it at 6...

[Xpress]

^Do take note that a higher precision means that the track will need to be smooth. If you have any banking jerks, you might want to try to smooth them out. Also, give it 50 more segments or so to aid with the bankings.

[DBru]

I did some reshaping, and got the spike down quite a bit...it gets up to +0.8, but only for a split second. I may work on it a bit more tomorrow, but it runs pretty smoothly through the element as it is, so I don't want to mess anything up.

[Eric_Smith]

Where exactly is the spike at and what direction is the train heading in the picture?

[Xpress]

I would hep on the track but it's not allowed..

[Screamomatic]

^Is that your final product?

 

Also, I have come up with a solution for the G-Force problem. Since it differs from sim to sim, I will allow a +/-.2 for both vertical and lateral.

 

Does that work for everyone? Any other comments?

[DBru]

^What exactly do you mean by that...

 

Please explain.

[Eric_Smith]

^That since the forces differ from sim-to-sim, I will allow a plus or minus .2 meaning the forces can be +4.5-4.7, -1.1 to -1.3. The laterals will also be judged this way. Understand now? And my apologies for being unclear...

[DBru]

^Oh okay, I understand. Thanks!

 

(I have my forces under control now, though. lol)

[Screamomatic]

uhm.. I may do some work and have a final final product at the due date may 1st..
