Can't wait!

[afro85]

Thanks ttd hope you like it!

[afro85]

Sorry for bumping, but I need to ask if you get an env error when it load or is all working fine?

[TTD03]

Didn't get around to downloading it last night.
Will let you know tonight.

[afro85]

Not a real update but since I don't have access to NL I'm trying to draw some layouts on paper for the first time. It's much harder than it seems!

^ Let me tell you, I am a terrible artist, what you have there is about 100X better than what I could do, so give your self a pat on the back

The hardest thing I find is judging how long lead ins need to be, especially in S-Curve transitions. Looks good though!

[afro85]

I'm back in Italy with a new upcoming project and many more in the way!!!
I've got very inspired and excited with this little park, here is a sneak peek; more news soon!!!

Looking good afro! I'm so glad I'm not the only one that doodles layout ideas, I can relax and say I'm not crazy!

^ That makes 3 of us

Does the hyper have inversions or are those overbanks?

[afro85]

No Inversions, overbanks with a nice 0.5 positiveG

First 143?????? silky smooth one! Love how it rides!


Second 160?????? faster and more powerful !


Feedback on the drop?




Since I'm here I'll put the videos that Game Hard 4.0 and Jack Septiceye made with my coasters!!! (I'm a little excited about this last one!!!)

Very nice!

While I'm working hard to finish the park for this year contest, Tallon made a fantastic cartexture for Black ?????nema!!!

This looks amazing! The cartextures, environment, theming, and lighting all really blend together

Wow, that??????s going to be amazing. Is the layout handmade?
IMO the black font in the blue cartexture doesn??????t fit at all but that your choice. Great job!

[afro85]

Thanks guys!!! I'll be back on this project very soon to take care of the theming i have in mind....
I'll give you a bit of backstory so if you have any suggestion of what you would like to see I'll do my best to realize it!
Basically the park is themed around the hyper coaster "Delyrium" a ride for wizards/mages to defeat the caged beast that will try to escape every 30 sec ca. (intamin - Black ?????nema)
My idea is to make the hyper drop into an old creepy village that i have to start making at some point...
more old houses will theme the whole area.... maybe a creepy tower near the mcbr!
I've already made out of supports the cage for Black ?????nema...
I still have no idea how to model the 2 stations so if you have some cool images to share for some inspiration that would be cool!!!

[TTD03]

Looks really solid and great!

Awesome trains
