Post a Picture and Receive Advice from CoasterCrazy Members.

I don't have a picture, but I figured since I'm asking for help in here, I might as well post this question here.


My shuttle coaster (A face to face Vekoma) has always made it back to the station in one piece during the simulator. I recorded my Gigga coaster before I left for Alabama, and when I watched the video, it left the station a 2nd time. During this time, you could see that the shuttle coaster was stuck on the "second" part of the ride. It didn't make it back over the loop. Now, this isn't like making those supports where you'd have to freeze and unfreeze. I'm not about to adjust the speeds to make sure it will make it/don't fly off track by shooting video.

When you're recording, does the rides react differently than when in the sim? It's like friction is amped when you record video. I tested it in the simulator where it gets stuck in the video afterwards, and it's not there because it doesn't get stuck. It makes it back to the station. I made sure to record the first train on its second trip. Where you see the train dangling in the video, the train makes in the simulator.

I remember on NL1 if you got poor framerate it could often affect the amount of friction and cause rides to stall. I'd recommend (if you don't already) recording your video in 0.25x speed to aid performance and then speeding it up in your favourite video editor!
