you can't be serious... everything he does (disregarding his past work before parks paid him) is "dead-on-balls accurate"

Actually, no its not. I am serious. His past stuff was not too good but hes still got things he needs to work on. Mostly with the banking.

Check out the Maverick POV - the drops pull out is not very smooth at all. Some of the banking is a little wonk.


Check out his POV of Renegade too - that ones not too good at all. Theres some odd things all around. Nothing much that most people would notice, but, when you know how it should react and it doesnt - thats when you notice.

Horseshoes are almost done. Got some quality work done this morning.

Just a heads up...I wont be around for 8 days. I am going to the Western Caribbean and will definatly not be thinking of NoLimits or maybe even coasters...well, I shouldnt lie, Ill think of coasters at some point.


So Im really just trying to get this nailed down today before I start packing. I may throw up a video or something soon.

Awesome, sounds good. I look forward to seeing any updates.

Well, after wrestling with the drop for days, I finally nailed it down. For those who didnt notice, it actually has a turn right after the apex at the top and turns slightly the entire way down. Very strange.

All I gotta do is add more turn to the bottom which is the easy part.

Heres the proof:

wow, I didn't know the drop curved so much, yea it is very strange. man thats gotta be really freaky to start turning on such a steep drop

That drop is looking superb i can't wait to see more progress.

Video of first half:

very nice!

Wow Real, that's very good! But i think the transition after the drop is a but too drawn out, and the entrance to the tunnel raises too much. But it looks awesome!

I think it looks good! The horeshoe roll is perfect! The drop, the airtime hill, all very awesome.

Yeah, Real, I noticed that about the hill too. It should be really intense and will probably gather all the more force at the bottom of the hill during the turn.

I think the drop looks fine, the one thing that looks a bit off is the little pop up to the brake run, that looks like it has too much snap.

I agree with SFMM homie. I thought you said you were going to fix that?

I made that video back when I probably said I would change it.

But Im still not sure. It looks close enough to me. Plus it gives what I am assuming to be a good pop of airtime. I dont want to rub that out too much.

Dont go by the renderings, go by the pictures. His rendering made that transition from the drop really odd. For one his banking isnt nearly as fluid as the pictures show. Its one of the harder transitions on any ride Ive had to create. Its so...weird.

My final plans will be to leave the track, once its completely done, just as is till I get to ride it. Once I can feel how the forces are and other little nuances, then Ill finalize the track.


Up till then, its still all up for tweaking.

Yeah, SFMM is right. The pop is way to rough. Pull back that turn before it and stretch it out a little more. That'd be my suggestion.

No, I didnt say it was rough at all...

Well, I don't exactly mean rough, I mean more along the lines of what you said, "too much snap", but didn't want to copy what you said.

Yeah, compare that pic SFMM homie posted to yours here http://www.nolimitsdevcenter.net/i19208

There's definately a noticeable difference. Don't trade forces for shaping, especially with a ride that hasn't opened yet, and has no public G-graph. If your shaping is there, then in general forces should be fine.
