Ive started making a coaster with fvds. And the end of my first section is the downwards part of the hill. How would i add on another element that starts with the right slope? Just need some help with this, i'm a newbie to fvds.
As long as the exit radius is straight, you can use:
gfOne = cos(slope_out)
for the starting g-force of the next element, and set the entry slope equal to the exit slope of element 1.
If the end of element 1 is concave up (creating a more positive g-force):
gfOne = cos(slope_out)+[(speed_out)^2]/(radius_out)
If it is concave down (creating a more negtive g-force):
gfOne = cos(slope_out)-[(speed_out)^2]/(radius_out)
I'm not sure how to do it when the FVD element is sloped and banked at the end. I would try to avoid that.
That's the simplest way that I know, but that "Exit Properties" part at the end of the FVD code might offer an easier way to get the same result.
Use the ahg for slope, don't actually heartline the coaster though.
Use the final gforce from your last formula as the starting gforce for this formula, and then find your speed, height,etc.. It shouldn't be too complicating for ya
