Made a roller coaster with 8 inversions and fitting inside the space with FVD++. The last loop is kind of lame but there wasn't too much space...

Just to advise that the date limit is september 20. Designs must be posted on this forum. I have a layout, it's definately not the best but it's still good for my second roller coaster. EDIT : also just saw this : <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://forum.coastercrazy.com/comments.php?Discuss...

Yes, the red areas are for pathways. But you can have 3DS anywhere as long as they are not used as supports.

RideWarriorNation : I haven't changed the template so it's all good. trillsentertainment : I know, the space is pretty small, I've tried myself doing a layout, it's not bad but it could be better. I'm glad to see someone trying out the contest. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" ...

CKidd : ah ok, I thought he was talking about the ones on the lift hill. You can put your own pathways on the X's.

A.S.C : the catwalks are the same as supports and track : they need to be higher than 7 meters from the ground.

Any suggestion is appreciated to make this contest better.

A.S.C : yes you can, as long as the .3DS objects are 7 meters higher from the ground in the red areas.

KrazyKoasterKid : I can do that.

KrazyKoasterKid : I've tried to upload either in a track package or .zip format and it gives me this message: MemberID-28075- Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 error '80040e57' String or binary data would be truncated. /track_exchange/post_info.asp, line 777 Maybe it's because of the hacking a...

Bottom_Feeder_13 : I drop down the time limit to one month. Two months is too much anyway.

Also posted a mirror for people that the dropbox link doesn't work.

cjd : I wasn't too sure with the judging aspects after all. I guess I'd just leave it to Technical/Adrenaline/Originality. The rating system seems also more appropriate too. Every participant must vote for each entry now. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" />...

mkingy : Thanks for the suggestions. I've put a track height limit of 50 meters and length of 1100 meters.

EDIT - also changed the one than more entry permitted to only one entry for the judges (didn't think of that at first).

AmatsuNL : Modified the lift angle, I didn't know it was 40 degrees. Yes, tools are allowed (Newton 2, etc). The trackwork is in both adrenaline and realistic supports criterion. <!-- s;) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" /><!-- s;) --> Ajax_Coasters : dropped down t...

Same as KingRCT 3, I felt that the ending could get rid of one helix. I think it is one of the best hyper I've seen in No Limits, even if it's not very tall. Amazing job on the station, I love the arches. Also, your roller coaster is very realistic in terms of ride duration since it's pretty similar...

La Ronde member of Six Flags park wants to add a new thrilling experience to their park as they are lacking of roller coasters. Unfortunately, since the park is located on St-Helen's island, it is running out of space. However, some of their roller coasters are not aging too well such as "Cobra" and...

I'm out of this contest, I'm just not enough experienced yet to get a satisfying smooth layout... :S

Thanks AJClarke0912 for the kind answer.

I'm in.

I might enter this contest, but I'm not quite sure on what is supposed to be a wingrider. Is it like X-Flight?

I guess I'll take mkingy's method as it seems to be the easiest. About the friction discussion, I'm quite sure that Vekoma rails have a lower friction coefficient than B&M rails because all the rides I've ridden by B&M are a lot smoother than the ones made by Vekoma. Am I correct? Also, I'm quite cu...

Hi there, I'd like to know some tips you guys use when testing a roller coaster made with Newton 2. Sometimes, Newton 2 says that the element is smooth but in No Limits there are some times that the forces go in the red (while Newton 2 says otherwise). Are there any trick to prevent this? Also, I'd ...

Tracksix's coaster is a definitive win for me. Lot of tunnels, amazing coaster beginning and the ride remained smooth all the time. yoshi's coaster was also fine, but I thought it wasn't as innovative as tracksix. Nice bridge though and I like the launched lift hill even if it's not standard for a s...
