Let me start out by saying that THIS IS NOT A B&M NOR IS IT MEANT TO BE ONE please keep this in mind before you make yourself look like an ass. So, I've been working on this coaster quite a while, and I've gotten the bare essentials done, I've finished the trackwork and the supports. I'll be moving on to 3d's environment, etc. but i need 3 or four testers right now. I'll post pictures of the ride tonight. I would also like to remind everyone that any support work besides the actual ride supports (catwalks etc.) is not done and is most likely going to change.

Edit: here are the pics as promised:

Looks to be as realistic as a Tim Burton movie.

well, it has realistic forces, but it's not meant to be a b&m...i just chose a floorless coaster type.

Ok. You still need to watch some things like shaping and such, even if the ride isn't based off of any particular company (which by the layout at the beginning it seems like it is). The loop looks a bit leaned back, and heartlines are not correct (especially in the predrop transition).

Realistic according to B&M?

What part of it's not meant to be a b&m do you not get? What I mean by realistic is it doesn't have outrageously over the top forces. The forces stay green for the entire ride. I would thank you not to take my words and use them for a different meaning other than the one they were intended for.

God. Cut the guy a break. I see where you are coming from. I'm going to start of saying the terrain looks nothing like the Amazon, and the colors are not very good, but other than that it looks pretty fun.

I understand. I'm just wondering what your force guidelines are.

And I'm supposed to know if you modified the original guidelines that come preloaded with the game how?

Calm down rich boy. Ask your parents for 20 dollars, that should make you feel better.

I didn't modify the guidelines, if that's what you were wondering, I never do. And @ onoitsbroko, the reason there are no trees is because i have yet to make the environment or the 3ds, etc. i also am going to do quite a bit more support work and the colors are very likely to change, but thanks for your input.

I hope you don't get so cranky when other people ask questions about things you did not explain at all.

Do you enjoy ruining everyone's fun in No Limits? Because you're really good at it, and you never know when to stop. Let him build what he wants, don't just pretend you're being helpful when all you're doing is gaining personal satisfaction by taking indirect stabs at his design. Learn when to quit, and occupy your free time with some other bullshit activity you take pride in doing.

I made an observation that it wasn't realistic, and then he said it had realistic forces, and then I asked what the guidelines were and he got all super pissy. Pardon me for asking that something be explained in greater detail.

Sorry I know you don't like it when someone else besides your emo clique rates a ride. My bad.

I'm pretty sure I flat out said it wasn't realistic, and I haven't said anything else about the ride. I was merely asking what his force guidelines were since "over the top" varies by person.

I'll try not to ask questions in the future. Thank you for your input, time and consideration. Perhaps you should get a more positive outlook and not view everything written as an attack.

I'm not too fancy about more than 3/4 of the track being over water. That's a waste of money.

Point made, you take everything too far. If he wants his ride to be unrealistic to your standards, then so be it. Get off his acorns. You're not asking questions to hear the answer, we both know that, you're asking questions, because you're arrogant, and you already know the answer. So please, stop wasting his time, since he's made it clear to you that he doesn't CARE what you think. Some people play this game, simply for the fact that it's a game, not because they want to virtually engineer a masterpiece. I'm kind of disappointed in you lately, you're just not as funny as you used to be. And could you draw out the "emo-club" any longer, get a new joke virgin. Sense the irony twat?

I was genuinely curious what limitations he placed on it. He didn't give a specific answer so I asked for an elaboration, which he angrily supplied.

Where did he say that? Why bother making a topic then?

I don't get on people's case for realism unless they claim it as such. I don't see why you're on my case, I just asked him to elaborate on his definition of realistic G guidelines.

Stop being a clique and the term won't be used any longer. I'm surprised your little friends haven't stepped in to stop the great injustice taking place. Perhaps it's because it's really not anything to worry about at all?

It's better to stand apart and observe a problem as it runs out of steam. Especially when the problem is unfixable.
