Maurer S??????hne X-train Concept Coaster

Don't know if anyone has seen the X-train concept coaster on their website, but: http://www.maurer-soehne.com/amusement_ ... ter/train/

I have talked to the president of the U.S. based company, and he has said that they do infact use the NoLimits Simulator for showcasing their rides.

Inspired by this, I set out to design an X-train Concept Coaster. Basically, it is a coaster type that differs slightly from the X-car, in the matter that it has 3 or more cars per train. It will utilize the standard low power consumption LSM launch that the company is famous for.

Here's some stats off the top of my head:
~80ft. max height
~2,200 ft. of track
55mph top speed
4 inversions (2 Immelmanns, 2 Corkscrews).

What I've gotten completed sofar:


Finishing up the queue lines, the station, and the catwalks tonight. Hopefully, I'll have the track out soon, before My Batman ride comes out.

Looks quite realistic so far..but with only one shot it is a little difficult to tell.

Looks extremely repetitive.

taht looks awesome!!! [:D]

Kinda Matt. Most of it is gforce though, and [blah][blah][blah].

Here's some more screenies, with the now completed track and 3Ds:







Sorry about those trees right there. Something went screwy with my sim, and now the smaller bushes won't show up textured. Infact, those trees next to the station aren't even there. They just appeared there somehow. Anyone know to to fix this?

Looks good...

I had to point this out. This is BA!

Yah. I saw that on there too.

I hope the next version of NL has these rides. The Maurer Soehne company would really like them.

i like the station [;)]

Why thank you. Took me around an hour to complete it.

I'm expecting it to be done by tonight, so it may be out before tomorrow.

Looks ok, i like the colour scheme. Not sure the Corkscrews are shaped right though

Not sure the corkscrews are shaped right?

In what respect? They look flawless to me!

In my own opinopn they look too large, i think they need to be more squashed.

Well, they both have ~+1.0 vert at the top. Any more would be an uncomfortable experience.

I'm putting it up today, so y'all can see it.

What's so concepty about a longer train?

Maurer Sohne has never done anything longer than 2 cars, because of weight limits. The X-train has 3 or more cars per train, up to 6 provided the track is built right, and each car is lighter than any regular X-car.

The final track I put out has 3 trims, but only to simulate the train slowing down throughout because of the weight, even though they are much lighter than the X-car.

You don't know physics do you?

I refuse to speak to you anymore you bad man.

[Coasterkidmwm]

I am extremely insulted and distraught. I will seek cuddle time with your amazing hot dad to make myself feel better.

Matt, stop being immature. Act like you're 20.

Why don't you just go snuggle with Alton?

[Coasterkidmwm]

3 way snuggle timez

Uhh, that's not ontopic. Keep it about NL and the X-train.

NL and X-Train blah blah blah good idea blah blah blah floorless sounds awesome blah blah blah the corkscrews look cool blah blah blah, anyway!

now matt im sure we can work his out, perhaps you could ask xpress's dad for a special snuggle nicely, and perhaps then xpress might see how nice it is, and come and have a snuggle too. doesn't that make you feel better[:p]
