Or people who compain might try it themselves to see how hard it is to have everything perfectly covered, whoever they might be...

there are always little gaps in contest rules, that why people ask questions when something is confusing.

So is it my fault people don't read all the rules or simply assume stuff?

So there are 3 DQ's right now? That's a lot.
Such a shame that someone can be disqualified on such little things.

Blah, they barely touch in the sim. Technically they'd still be placed in the soil and not the lake floor.

Oh well.

Is your main focus airtime or is it just forces in general. Cause my coaster olny goes past 0 gs 3 times but theres pops that hit 0.1 - 0.3 everywhere. Would that really kill my chances of coninuing? Like its a nice layout with forces, its just not that much air.

cooliocody12 and griffonluv, you both had track and/or supports in the blue box above 10m. Sorry, but you are DQ'd.

Like I said before, there isn't just one thing I rate a coaster on. Do your best to make the ride kick-ass. Not having airtime doesn't mean you get an very low rating, just as having tons of airtime doesn't guarantee you a high rating.

Like saying "track style 2 bench PTC's"

That isn't clear at all.

Yeah, I'm really disappointed with the massive amounts of DQ's also. (Not that it's your fault, hyyyper, I just wish people would pay closer attention.) I want a freaking rating this time! That annoyed the hell out of me last year when I didn't get a single 'real' contest rating until Round 3 because of all the no-submits and DQ's.

Here is my POS ride. It's awkward.

I think I made it too much like a CCI.

Well, I can't figure out how to auto-generate wooden catwalks while keeping the rest of the supports steel! That's pretty much all holding me back right now, but I'm just glad I finally finished a contest track. It'll be up soon hopefully.

Your layout still powns. Mines so lame, i have airtime hills woo!
Edit: 3 airhills and a turn/ airhill Woopa! Time for some crossovers and maybe a little oomph. I hate procrastination. Hate it.

Alright, thanks Vid. So would I get disqualified if the station acts like a transport device? Would that count as a launch?

Yea, just tilt it and take the wheels out. Let gravity take you for a ride.

If a train doesn't complete circuit, is that a ban? If so CKidmwm loses.

You can hit E-Stop at the perfect time after the final breaks and it won't reach the station.



EDIT: I'm sorry, I guess you don't have to pass E-Stop testing to advance in this round! That's weird I thought this was a contest for roller coasters.
