Ikarus (flying)

After few problems I decided to come back with a new project.
Using twisted B&M type I built a flying coaster trying to maintain all the lateral in acceptable parameters!Consider that many vertical g's are red:nothing possible to do with them[;)].

Layout is completed and here some photos:

The station

the first drop

fly to lie

half pretzel up

flying flatspin

half pretzel down

banked lie to fly


Remember this is absolutely a fantasy ride built just for fun even if I put inside it attentions like a real ride...

looks pretty interesting..a little sparse now, but interesting
you might wanna fix up that texture too [;)]

More fixed now with the terrain and first trees.

3d stuff looks great and so does the ride. Kind of like an Air-Tatsu.

Looks nice.

The mechanism to put seats in flight position[:D]


And first tests

The ride is near to end:just few supports missing.

Here a photo of a funny element:the final mini reverse cobra.


I would like to create a nice cartexture but I really do not have ideas....SUGGESTIONS?[;)]

the name iracus with steel wings on the left and right

GREAT!

Just FYI, the veiw perspective of a flyer is better captured with an inverted style track. Use that and conroll everything to get a better effect.

[sillyme]uh sorry Iron what you mean?
I did not understand you..............

[hyyyper]

^that an inverted gives a better representation of a flyer, if you go with the hyper style, you up-side-down instead of flying, IMO you shoud also use inverted, but that makes it another invert, difficult decision

OMG I'm not going to change track type....[xx(]this is a fantasy coaster:I know that you're riding upside down but a little bit of imagination.the choice of this kind of coaster is for originality and because it has a "real" view![:)]

If you play around with the Fly-by view, you can easily get the illusion of being in a Flying coaster.. So no wrong choise with this train style imo! The coaster and 3ds are looking great BTW ! [:D]

Definetly a funny ride:I'm glad how this project developed and I hope you will appreciate it once uploaded!
You can also ride it on the train:just press Q once and put the rail view as an inverted.
If you also move the mouse down,the impression fits perfectly.
I was astonished but the result is GREAT![pshades]
Not a so difficult thing to do but I am satisfied.

A last photo before uploading with the definite env and objects:

its looks awesome!! i cant wait for the upload! but wasent someone else making a flying coaster called Ikaurus?

Yes a friend of mine KATUN....when I opened the topic we were convinced to be logged with my account,instead he uploaded a coaster and on my computer there was his account...[;)]

Here an image of what I explained before......[;)]

This looks incredible! cant wait for it to come out!

Also, the style track your using is perfect! the looping trains look more like flying trans from the outside of the ride! so it a little easier to belive its a flying coaster when your in the "Fly" view!

And finally this is the complete layout.
I need to put footers and then it is ready!

this looks great.

that is a very neat idea
flying coasters are becoming the future of roller coasters

Usually I don't spend too much time on the environment:this time,casually,playing with the sun's light and position I produced a great effect to the ride.
I wanted to give a particular illumination and I think I succeeded in.
Look at the effect in the photos.The light is coming from the ground!
I personally love it!

looks pretty awesome but when are you posting?!

No offense, but this looks very RCT-3ish with that spine and those textures.
