smooth

I have no limits a few days and I tryd some things out. But how make people de tracks so smooth. please help me

I think im gonna write a tutorial type thing cus theres alot of dudes like you. Keep practicing man, Youll find your own techniques and methods for smooth, but first learn the feel and see how you like to build things. Then the smoothness will flow into you like a fountain, plenishing the track with good rates. (wow, im kinda sounding like an NL buddha)

the next thing is, how do I get a straigt lifthill and a straigt piece of track

Highlight the track piece you want straight and press "I" on your keyboard.

easier way to make a lift:

place a node on the spot where the top section of you lift will be,
level the control-nodes with the tracknodes,
split the segment 3 times, not you have 4 segments of lift,
delelte the middle track node,
if you're having a large lift, split the segment at the beginning and at the end once more and delelte the track nodes so that the only nodes remaining are the 1st one (purlple trainangle), the one after the 1st one, the top of the lift and the one before the top of the lift.
now highlight the mid segment and press i.

this seems like a lot of work but it's simply, placing a node, splitting segments, deleting nodes and press "i", very easy, very fast/quickly done

When applying the "RTFM concept" you normally find this stuff out as well.

TCon are you meaning RTFN as read the fine manual or read the *u***ng manual?

LOL

yea Smoothness is an aquired skill. but umm, I wanna ask anyone here if they've ACTUALLY seen bumps on a rollercoaster before. Like I mean a jerk like you see in NL. there's no such thing. theres no possible way a track could have that kinda jerk because nor the train or the passengers are locked to the track like the virtual camera is in NL. if you look at a jerk in NL like just look at it in fly view, you wouldn't see anything but smooth track. there's only bad form

yea man so, sorry I got off topic lol.

Smoothness, u gotta be able to see what needs to be done in order to smooth something. like u gotta see which way u need to shift something, raise something, bank something, etc

RTFM could be:

Read the friggin manual
Read the freaking manual
Read the full manual
Read the flooded manual
Read the freaky manual
Read the fluent manual


any number of things - you decide.

Hmmmm. Yes there are many things RTFN could mean. [;)]
