read the message attached too... it explains everything [;)]

Entry received.

I'm not too bothered, as i am already well underway, with supports 70% finished, this has taken me all of about 4 days, with things going on such as meals out, barbecues and such.

jeez...i am not even done with the track yet...i have that and the supports to do.

^That's all right, dude. I haven't started.

well i am pretty much done

sent in mine

will the gs be measured form all cars or just from the front

I've asked him that before......

He said Front Car, Right Seat (NL Default)
and
Back Car, Right Seat


Also,
Oscar, I have the blocks that connect the supports to the ground as close as they can come to the support bounderies in the editor. but when i go into the sim they are past the inside part of the support but not sticking out. Is that ok? If u dont know what i mean then come on aim and ill show u....

All supports,station and track work is to remain within the boundaries of the red outline.

So move it over that .5 foot so it's not on the boundary but within the boundary line [:)]

Ahh, but you said red outline. Which implies you would be checking in the editor. And my coaster suports aren't red. So.....WHAT NOW BITCH!?!?!!!!

Now if we have a couple g spikes over 1 on lats...will that take a lot of points off in the final scoring.

[Oscar]

Depends how bad they are. It's all a matter of having the track in hand to determine how much should be taken off.

well...my highest i think is 1.4

[Oscar]

That's bad. 1.4 is 40% more than 1 [;)]

dang....just another thing i have to redo...if it werent for that stupid 1 lat g rule this wouldnt be as frustrating

It shouldn't be that hard to adhere to the 1 lat G rule; you should really be following that when you make any modern coaster.

not really...some coasters go beyond that

I realize that others go above...

i know...i am just saying...but i guess with modern technology they try to limit as many gs as possible

Yeah, computers can take a lot of g's out of a ride.

Damn......i have a wheel lift, but when I do an e-stop it rolls back and chrashes against the following car in the station.... Will that be tested in the E-Stop?

[hyyyper]

^try increasing the acceleration

I cant tell if the edge of the roof on my station is sticking out further than the bounderies. The wall of the station is within limits but the roof is pretty close. Does it matter? What should I do?
And i can't move the station either.....
