Looks very impressive. Keep up the hard work. I think the iSpeed supports really give the ride a nice touch.

My only complaint, Al [:D], is that some of the track connections are a bit off. Like the track is banked too far for the supports to match up. I can't seem to explain it clear, but if you need any futher explaining, PM me.

^ I know what you mean, but I'm really too lazy to make connectors and I want to get this finished.

I have a small update here and I must say the ride is really progressing slowly, and I'm aiming an unlikely goal of a release this weekend.

I got a few more supports here:

And I got the LSMs on the launch. Still considering if I should make LSMs for the brake section, for it would mean I have to custom rotate it on its Y and X axis in the Object Creator, which is tedious work if you ask me.

uhm... those supports still make me cream. Rides looking FREAKING AMAZING so far, and those cartexts are just amazing. I wish I could use swear words to describe how illsicknasty this ride is.
So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

Sorry for the double post, but as lazy and slow as the progress is going, I felt like teasing you all [devilish]

Another quick update here, as I began work on the station structure --

And I finished the tophat structure.

So all that is left is the station, the supports, and trees. I'm not sure if I should use an environment file. I think I would want to use one, but I would need somebody to make it for me, I suck in the environment department.

^ Gracias. I also forgot to mention I may make a teaser video, but I'm too lazy and I'll only do it if the majority of the public wants to see a preview video.

well knowing your skills with "moviemaking", I think that would be awesome. But if its too much work, I wouldn't mind.

This coming from someone who has invested well over 100,000 polygons into two different projects and many thousands into a third...you're suuuch a FPS killer lol. Those footers, the semisphere railing ends, the circles on the building...I have a good computer and when you're done I'm not even confident you ride will run smoothly on it.

^ The railings are cylinders though..

I am an fps killer aren't I? [lol] Well It's still smooth in some spots, but the fps is dropping. Just not as much as Courtyard of Naught did (I really need to know how to apply alpha textures in the object creator asap).
