Calling Math Gurus...

Ive ended a section in Newton so I have all the possible numbers, radii, etc youd need. What I need is a simple loop.

Do we have anything capable of creating a standard loop with any of that information?

*drools in confusion*

I think you'd be better of creating the loop first with a standard formula and then trying to end your FVD-section with a good match. or the other way round, when you ended horizontal without banking

My ending on the Newton is flat, no banking, at 0.0 degrees to the ground, etc. I figured that would be the easiest case of them all.

So basically, as Ive heard, just nothing but tons of trial and error basically.

I think in the end Ill just take a section of the track, save it. Then rotate to match the last point, make it smaller. then do that till I get to the top and reverse it.

AIM me.

I figured it out. Took the radius of the loop I had with the radius of the exit of the drop. Took the drop radius divided it by the loop radius to get the multiplier value and threw it in the Purg and got my match.

Simpler than I thought. Of course, I had no control over the G's since I wasnt redoing the loop and I redid the entrance to start with a higher G, but it works out perfectly now. A nice 4G loop after a MCB. MMMmmm. Kinda like Montu running at full tilt ;)

Surprised that worked for you...guess you're not looking for really high accuracy. Everytime I make a loop it generally takes 1-2 hours of trial and error for both the entrance and exit transitions, looking to match the decimals to within .005m or so I think. Both Elementary and the Purg aren't that accurate so changes don't net linear results at that detail. Glad you got it though.

It matched to the 0.001. Thats close enough for me. You wont notice a connection once I run it through the AHG with a high filter either. But there wasnt one to begin with anyways.
