[NL] Work in Progress

I present a Work in Progress NoLimits ride.

If I'm happy with the trackwork I will move to supports soon. There are a few things I want to change, like the heartline roll, which really doesn't fit well but just looks cool.

 

What do you guys think? You can probably tell the first bits are heavily influenced by Millennium Force.

It looks pretty good so far, the only things I see a problem with are the first overbank and the banking in general.

 

The first overbank looks too tight at the top. And the banking throughout the coaster seemed a little funky. Overall it looks good, s this your first Newton2 coaster?

[aceospades1250]

yep, it is, though I had a lot of experience with FVDs back in the days when Coastersims was still around so that helps. Newton is definitely a lot less frustrating

Nice work! I also just started to work with Newton2, but it's frustrating considering I'm using it on an 8-year old PC running Windows XP. The 3D view screen can barely keep up with me!

 

One thing I've noticed is it's easy to make tracks with Newton2 that tend to be too large and drawn out. I guess it's just a matter of getting a feel and understanding of the g-forces involved in a more exciting ride. This program is a lot more enjoyable to use than the painstaking process of hand-building and checking the g-forces/smoothness of each individual element though!

As far as constructive criticism goes, I feel like you switched directions too many times. The inversion was also completley uneccessary.

 

Other than that it looks like a great start!

Thanks for the input, guys. I think I'm gonna scrap this project and go a different direction for now.

 

I do notice that my tracks tend to be a lot Twistier when i use Newton...
