2006 NL Tournament (Round 1) - RESULTS pg 58

Why didnt you sign up in registration then? CJD might still allow you to join but you've missed the signing up period, and there was plenty of time.
But the contest has only just started so i wouldnt see the problem. Its CJDs verdict though that counts.

Anyway, ive got my prototype first drop! YAY 5 g at the bottom, eesh, but it was hard to make. Im still struggling wirth the lead in though, its painful, but because its angled so steeply its really long after only a small number! URGH.

I'm doing my best to control the forces. I think the highest vertical so for is 4.4, and that's only for a split second. Airtime is at -1.2, which is sustained for about a second.

LOL, my forces are just about the same! However, I have another question, can we use 3ds from the park pack? Not for extra points but for a nicer look overall.

EDIT: Would this still be ok? That's exactly 20 feet and that support beam is exactly above the boundary of the street...it would just be annoying to move everything up.

CRAP!!!!! This drop is so annoying. The gs are up to 5 in the back seat and its not even banked yet, so when it is, the laterals are going to be converted to positive gs, and its going to be even higher!

i was trying to do a 270* drop, and yes it's a hell with that less room, straight drop for me

I've got problems too. I made the twisted section tighter, but now there's loads of tunnel test collisions.

b&m hypers my speciality and favorite this is gonna be a nice first round... i jus hope i make it to round 2 *duhn duhn duhn*

Hyyyper, guess whos just managed a curving drop in the tight corner on the bottom left hand side of the editor!!!!! YAY. But i cant use it as the B&M trains wouldnt be able to take one transition. [:(]

[hyyyper]

poop, if you can do it, i should be able too

You need NoLimits right. But can I use RCT2?

It took a while to get right, but once you have it its awesome. But im not using it. I made a new better drop, which im not telling you about [:)] Totally secret! It has more acceptable forces [:)]

I dont like to make Supports [V]

Looks like everyone's made a breakthrough. I just managed to do the twisted section. The lats bet up to about 0.6, but I think it's worth it considering it's got a much better flow to it like that.

can the supports be outside the lines???

Those darn n00bs [:o)]

lol

I give it a try. I am not sure if i gonna get this.

ahh crap! i know im going to go outside the lines!!!!

Oh well going to be fun anyways!

I have my first drop done, along with the next two airtime hills. And ofcourse, they're not completely straight [:p] My first drop has a nice freefall feeling. The vallies pull 4.7 and 4.4, with -1.2 and -1 airtime. Pretty fun stuff. Just have to get an idea for the back section on the other side of the highway!

[hyyyper]

HA jpe, 270* drop done, it's more like TTD/KK's drop but it's still a 270

and the rest is done too

How many meters is 20 feet?

Just switch to imperial in the options menu, that's the best way to get the 20 ft right.

Would points be taken off if the coaster hits 5.2 G's or 5.3?

I've just got a Goliath SFOG style helix done, turning 360* and sustaining over 3.5g's for several seconds. I know the train's gonna have a hard time getting back to the station, the length of the trains creates an unrealistic amount of friction so it's goign much slower than it would be in real life.
