I will send it to some people to test if you want. Then i will decide whether to carry on with it. Yeah, blame Ish, its his fault im starting elementary! [lol] He gave me all the stuff to do it. Ive just being getting to grips with elementary in the past hour and its not quite as hard as i thought. Ive only made like a turn and a lift hill so obviously it wont be hard yet. [lol] But im enjoying using it so far. Its quite incredible how all them numbers make that.

NOTE: Thanks tyler for your ebook!

Do you make the screenshot and the name first? [;)] After three hours of work that seems very good. And as Real said the lay-out looks pretty good! I think you should carry on.

I fear using the elementary will destroy the flow of the ride. Ive talked to tyler about it and its because unless you are a math wiz, you will begin and end every element with a lead in and lead out. Which, in alot of cases, is bad. Like a diving turn. Itll dive, then radius gets large so it feels like it pauses. Then, the radius picks up and you turn. You have to be pretty dang smart to join the two together because you need to make your own formulas.

^ i agree. I used the elementry for a while but i realised it holds you back. You can't make all the elements you want. So the elementry was scrapped from my pc and im now back to hand building. Theres a smooth ride from me coming soon.

No, im not gonna use the elementary on this ride. Its not worth wrecking my layout. lol. I was just gonna start a whole new project so i could get used to elementary. I wasnt gonna edit this ride. This ride was just goin to go on hold for a while. Sorry i worded it all wrong. lol.

I had actually noted the layout down on paper before the 3 hours! So i kinda cheated. LOL. And i make the screenshot whenever i feel like it. And i always have the name while im making the layout, because a nam can inspire you to feel you want the ride to portray!!!!! [:D] < Thats me trying to sound clever [lol]

can't you just set the lead in or out to 0?
it should be fine then. then the rasius doesn't get bigger at the vetex where you combine the two segments?

Some pictures. Ive been messing about with the ride since i got back on the computer. [:D] Its a little smooth, not much smoother yet though. I got bored of smoothing though so i temporarily added a small underground tunnel for fun. [:D]
