No. People that want to enter have until Friday to say that they are competing.

Questions:

 

When you say the "station must be in the purple box" do you mean the entire station building as displayed in the simulator, or just the orange track as when viewed in the editor?

 

For the inversion count, is that a maximum/minimum/exact requirement?

[Eric_Smith]

^First of all, the station must be in the blue box with the X. And I am just talking about the orange segment you see in the editor.

 

As for the inversion, no, hard banked turns. The track has to flip over completely.

Does that mean inverted top hats don't count?

::shrug:: The station box with the X is purple on my screen.

 

Clarifying the "inversion" question (I know what one is thanks )...The rules say "must have 3 inversions." Does that mean EXACTLY three, or AT LEAST three?

 

I'd also like to know if you count an inverted top-hat.

[Eric_Smith]

Yes I count top-hats as inversions and the rule is at least 3.

 

And as for the station box, you are correct, it should be purple.

 

I am thinking blue from another contest I am holding at CoasterChamber.

[Koolkid]

I am very sorry But I am going to have to pull out , just realised I'm going away for a week in a few days , it completely slipped my mind , I'm sorry for any hassle I've caused

 

I had just completed a brilliant layout and everything!

[coastb2]

May I see a picture of your layout?

[Koolkid]

Sure, But I can't seem to make the screenshot into an image to add to a post here , I tried pasting it in word and adding it but it's way too big a file. Any help ?

[coastb2]

Why in word? You don't need to do that. Just press K to take a screen shot and click browse where it says Add Photo, Video or Other Attachment and find that screen shot. Make sure that your picture is not too big and fits the 800 by 600 size, and the 150k limit. Then click "Add Video or Other Attachment" to insert a picture.

[Koolkid]

Of course, I was trying to take a screenshot of it in the editor,

 

The layout itself doesn't look great in the actual simulator but still , here it is in the very early design stage

 

It has multiple launches and various twisty bits mixed with lots of airtime.

 

[dcxs]

Hey first time poster in the games section, should I post my coaster in this thread?

[Eric_Smith]

^Is it for this contest?

[dcxs]

Yes, and does it have to be a LIM coaster ?

[Eric_Smith]

^Did you read the rules?

[themeparkman25]

First contest...count me in.

[nemesiscrazy]

Count me in as well please.

[Real]

So if I were going to build a coaster for this, does the entire station have to fit in the box? Or start in the box? Using a peice of track just long enough for a 6 car train pretty much maxes out the box at 19m.

[Eric_Smith]

^Your whole station must be inside the box.

[Real]

For the sake of techincality...by entire station do you mean in the SIM or in the EDITOR. As in, the track piece itself inside the box or the entire station inside the box?

[AmyUD06]

Pay attention, I already asked that. Just the track segment as seen as in the editor.
