There's the debug mode (read your FVD how-to's) or you can use the simulator and estimate. For debug, you have to scroll to the bottom of the Forumla part and find these lines: ; aaexitGF = gPunk ;; exit G-Force, in case of 'zone cut-off' ; aaexitSL = (SloMd-3*deepS)*57.295779 ;; exit Slope (in Degr...

Oh, that's the easy part <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) --> Your vertical force on ANY flat section is equivalent to the cosine of the slope of the section. For starters... 0 slope (flat) has a cosine of 1... multiply that by the number of G'...

What exactly are you trying to achieve? flat sloped banked turn to flat unbanked section? or flat sloped bank turn to unbanked (or less banked) incline? For the former, just leave the cos[slolc]/cos[b] function and extend the banking section to go from banked to unbanked. For the latter, to find you...

If you don't know how to pull out, you're gonna be in trouble pretty soon.... If you're talking about NoLimits, I'm sure there was a specific forum for that around here somewhere. Anyways, to go from a banked turn to a flat section you need to transition from your banking to flat, from your banking ...

My old computer basically came to a halt with multiple trains running... You're probably going to need an updated graphics card. Until then, run with just 1 train unless you're doing e-check work, in which case you just need to be able to see where other trains are...

Graphics card, memory & processor speed, resolution, reflections & detail quality.... Try changing tracks to have only one train, and turn scenery off?

I'm glad you got this to work for you. Sorry that I can't really help... I don't play video games and the closest Six Flags to me was bought and closed by Cedar Fair.

I don't use single face objects. NoLimits only draws the primary face of ANY object. In SketchUp this means you need depth to create a new face on the opposide side.

I run everything through Anim8or as SketchUp sets the unlit side color to black. Anim8or allows you to change the unlit side to match the lit side (or even make it slightly darker if you want to enhance the shadow) You can even make it brighter to simulate articfical lighting.

No, you need SketchUp Pro (or someone that has SKetchUp Pro) to export 3Ds files.

NoLimits compresses the cartextures more than MSPaint would. I get all my templates from Toerti's NL Cartexture page

I'm sure you can use a search engine OTHER than Google and search for your free sketchup pro? I know plenty of people that find licensing programs for stuff that would otherwise cost hundreds or thousands of dollars.
