Outburst

Well I decided to start yet another GCI.
Some stats:

Length: 3190 feet.
Height: 112 feet.
Speed: 53 mph.

Screens here.
Any comments appreciated.

Looks amazing! More people need to start putting the amount of detail into their support work as you do.

The only thing I noticed was, you might want to consider changing the horizontal beams on the inside of the structure from large to small. Look at the difference:

Your supports:

Changing inside beams to small:

Change the vertical posts on the handrails to small as well.

^ How come the autosupport makes only large vertical posts, and you have to change them?

Because the wooden autosupports suck.

In fact, wooden coasters in NL suck in general and are completely unrealistic.
- The sounds when the train is traveling 13-15+ mph are awful
- The rail texture is pretty bad
- The dimensions of the wooden beams aren't even close to the size of real wooden coaster beams. I think real wooden coasters use 2x4s.
- The autosupport generator spaces the supports 10x10, when real wooden coasters have 6x10 support boxes. Also, the inner structure is generated with X's when real wooden coasters only have one beam going diagonally.
- The wood texture isn't that bad, but still could be improved quite a bit
- The catwalks are a complete joke. What coaster has catwalks that look even remotely similar?

I'm probably going to get a response along the lines of "OMGZ sTop wh1ning the nl te4m d1d s0 much and u kant say nething bAd ab0ut nolimitz b3cuz the nl te4m does s0 mUch work i kant balieve u dnt appreciat it lolz"

To be realistic, you could probably build a coaster in real life with those support dimensions if you wanted.

Yeah, you probably could. It would just be nice to have a support generator modeled after real wooden coaster structures.

Thanks, Im definitely going to try that. :]

Its was spelled wrong I believe. Anyway, I doubt that he is having trouble with a name. A friend of mine tells me work is coming on this ride to. Looks nice so far but pleas make this one a bit longer then your last one. When that ended I was thinking, "WTF? Thats all?" Good luck on this one. Cant wait to see it done.

Progress.

EDIT: More progress, check link above.

Ooooh sweaty palms...

^oh my gawsh that pic is awesome... the curving s-bend and going through the station! Wow I can't wait for this.

You still havent changed the beams that hold up the handrail...still looks gawdy.

The design looks great though.

BTW IF, I could verify those dimensions with you. I spent Friday on a walkback of Voyage with Michael Graham of The Gravity Group. Learned a whole lot.

^ lucky @#$%^#

Some Progress.

I have to agree with all of the comments on the supports so far. They really are amazing. As someone who also looks for realism at supports, I am quite impressed. Time to start considering some of the things you did when I make my wooden supports.

krazyt, I'm speechless beyond belief. I'm someone on the verge of becoming a large fan of GCI, as three of them take spots on my top ten, and I just have to say I've never looked forward to a design like this one...The supports are 100% fantastic from what I've seen. The layout, the drop, I'm drooling over the keys at how spectacular this design looks...

^ Point Achieved. :]

looks good tony, cant wait too see more screen shot. but its a nice woodie tho, good work.

More progress.

[?] Where are you? I don't want to see you abandon this ride. It's too perfect. [V]
