2006 NL Tournament (Round 1) - RESULTS pg 58

Hey Wing-over, does your drop go 140 degrees to the right, or 500 degrees so you add a 360 diving helix into the straight?

Well, I decided the layout, I wont have a west going lift hill, and the vertical S bend for a drop is something I will do, so instead of talking, I will give a NLDC Site baby!!!

Your not alowwed to have supports on the road? Well I have them spaced so cars could go bewtween them, 6 meters is plenty for a car to get by, And the rules say that the TRACK cant go near the road, supports is a different story.

[hyyyper]

Supports/scenery can go anywhere, except the following exceptions:
- Support fundaments may not be placed between the blue lines, unless they are in the narrow area between the purple lines. (the purple lines represent the road's median, and are therefore open)

^u see

^Okay, but I have the supports lined up so they can be fixed

I dunno what exactly you mean by that, but my drop turns 117* to the right. I've got a couple of screens showing my support work so far (Including footers and track connectors), and the start of a 3ds station.

[rant] I am in for the fun of it, but I am almost done, and to be honest, I am not impressed. I just don't know how to smooth it out, I don't know how to make the pacing faster with 250 foot limit. I would spend more time if I knew a better way to smooth these STUPID pumps out.[:(!] [/rant]

Q: Do the coaster's trains have to stay in the boundaries as well?
A: No. Only the track must remain in the boundaries.

Q: Just to be sure, the track cannot go les then 20 feet above the blue mark, but supports can right?
A: Wrong. NOTHING is allowed within 20 feet of the road, unless it is between the purple lines.

Q: Can I make a 3ds road?
A: I'll allow it, under these conditions... 1 - No other scenery can go there, just the road. 2 - You must not delete or modify the original contest boundaries. You can cover them up with your 3ds road, but don't touch them.

Q: Can we replace the contest boundaries with 3ds?
A: No, you cannot REPLACE them. You can, however, COVER them with 3ds (this means that they're still there, but you can't see them in the sim because there is scenery over top of them). The contest template must remain UNMODIFIED under all circumstances.

thanks cjd

ok, thanks cjd. thank you so much, btw, i am making a 3ds road if anyone wants one, email or PM me. ill make it sometime today...

Well the no supports on teh road is really taking a toll on me, since I have a hill and a turn over it, and the turn is only 8 meters off the ground

Make an overpass or bridge-like supports that go over the road. There are many more ways to support a coaster than just dropping them directly down to the ground.

My ride is at 20.02 above the road. Cjd, will you take off from being this close?

I think if its above 20, nothig will be taken off. But thats just what i think.

Its a competition...why show what others have? lol

Scary concept.

[coolbeans326]

can you put cars on the road if you decide to model some?

Lol, i was just about to ask that...

anyone else want the road? tell me. the 4 people that have wanted it have recieved it in your mail box, tell me if you didnt get it.

Well, if it's allowed, I wouldn't mind having that road! just drop it at carschten@gmx.net , thanks!
