MontuWillOwnYou Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Second attempt at a woodie. Tried to keep lat G's low. It's the first coaster of this size I've built so there are some pacing issues. drpepper.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDCOASTERFAN Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Instead of going for a twister style layout start off with an out & back so that you can get the hang of the editor....believe me I know that making curves & trying to keep the G's to acceptable levels is not easy(see my Behemoth & Thunder Road coasters two examples of this) but it can be done. Like me you must be relatively new to NL so figuring out the complex geometrics of track design is probably frustrating you & getting negative reviews is even more annoying but don't worry about what others think of your designs because in the end that's what they are "your" designs & nobody else's.

jamesissoocool Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Your making progess. Few things, your coaster doesn't pass the E-Brake test and is was a bit pumpy but the ride was quite smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 By the way, you don't have to zip tracks you upload here, it's much easier just to upload the track file rather than have it compressed first! Lets see what this thing can do.... Well, it is very smooth, VERY smooth. I think your overall trackwork will improve over time, as will your judgement of banking and such, but for now i would say this was a pretty good attempt at a wooden-twister. Don't forget to put a brake run at the end of the ride though! Kiddie coasters go straight into the station like your coaster does, but that's only because they are slow enough to have the brake run IN the station! I would like to see you have a go at an out-and-back coaster, something with quite a few hills and big turnarounds. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontuWillOwnYou Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Wouldn't an upzip file go past the 150k limit? Thanks for the input guys. An out and back is next on my list, now that I figured out how not to kill the riders with lat gs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think that your out and back coaster should be a B&M because we haven't seen you build one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontuWillOwnYou Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 A B&M out and back eh? I should be able to botch up one of those pretty good. Hehe. I live in Florida. I'm sick of B&M. (not sure why the parks in FL refuse to purchase Intimins(maybe smaller park-space prohibits that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontuWillOwnYou Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 btw. What is the Ebrake test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for example, if your .nltrack file is more than 2 megs, ZIP it up! Reading the rules, will get you far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesissoocool Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 btw. What is the Ebrake test? If you emergency stop the ride the train should be able to make it to the next block or station from the point at which it stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontuWillOwnYou Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Gotcha. Hmm. I wonder if any of my rides would pass that test. Though the building should come a bit easier, now. I just figured out there is a 3d option while editing. That should make supporting the ride much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
