Mirage Invert Contest - Results p. 14

I've been busy with making a 1.2 lats-corkscrew with the FVD for over a WEEK, now a second one.. It's hard, but possible

[hyyyper]

making it smooth with a decent leadin and leadout

well, i have a good lead in and out. the lead in and out arnt producing over .5 lats, but hte top of the roll gets 1.3 exactly...and i dont even know what fvd is...i feel stupid

You do know you can go above 1.2 lats only in a heartline roll, right?

ya but you cant in a corkscrew,,,and its not a perfect heartline, its more of a barrel roll sorta.

ahh.. this isn't going so well, i finished my track, but i hate it, definatly not entering it, i may be dropping out, but don't count me out yet...[:(]

grr...late at night, about 1 oclock now. Cant fix the mass of pumps/jerks. Ontop of all that, i'm still hitting 1.3 on a cork, but theres no room to stretch it out anymore...hmph...track is almost over 4000. past tunnel test though(finally one good thing). Oh but wait! there's more! Supports are gonna suck!, no way i can win. Its been fun though... so much to fix, so little time. Give up? or keep trying?

Definitely keep trying
I want to see loads of coasters made for this contest... Otherwise I won't believe I'm not the only one with a SUCKING COASTER!!!
On top of that... My CPU (For those of you who don't know, that's the most important part of your computer) yesterday EXPLODED ([:O]) and took my PS (Power Supply) and my MB (MotherBoard) with it!!!
I definitely need a new computer now... [:(][:(][:(]

Conclusion: Stay below 1.2 lats with Intamin or Vekoma is a piece of cake, but with a B&M it's very difficult. I'll keep trying for 1 day with B&M, if it won't work, I'll change my trackstyle to Intamin, probably..

well suprisingly i get more lats with intamin...on a heartline: B&M=1.3, Intamin= 1.5

Is it against the rules if I get my Hard Disk out of my computer, put it in another computer and keep on working?

^ I believe it should be fine.

Another question: Can we use some of the scenery objects that we've made in one of our previous rides or should we start from scratch?

Good question, and could we use other peoples scenery IF WE HAVE PERSMISSION FROM THEM?

What the hell kindof questions are you asking? Yes you take a track to another computer and work on it, how would I know? Yes you can use scenery if have permission.

Yes dj-dj, you can.

Sorry for my (for you obvious) anoying questions... But I'm kinda new to this stuff (never done contest before) and I really want to know these things, cause maybe it helps me with building my best coaster ever (DEFINITELY not saying that that is this one)

agreed, i'm new to the world of contest too...dont feel left out indi

Thanks Jimmy.

So far so good. My support style is a mixture of Intamin, B&M and Giovanola therefore I guess I'm not building a B&M anymore but at least I tried the track style. You guys are going to go like: WTF are all these strange flange like support connectors doing at every single joint.

Busy working on my theme already. I think my layout is a bit too spread out all over the template but I like it that way. (It looks confusing but requires a lot of work with scene objects.)[:)]

I'm still stuck on the first half of my ride...

I'm finishing supports. Afterwards I'll make failDS objects so I can be a rate whore and then upload.

Thanks
And by the way... I CAN'T EVEN WORK ON SUPPORTS!!! My computer is still not working, and I can't afford a new (good) one. My parents won't pay for a new one, so the only support I have is that I and my father now lots about computers so that we're trying to repair it... But until it's finished, I can't work on my coaster, so I'M OUT OF TIME!
Better get the game on this PC (It's my mothers')

Too bad Dirk_Ermen is joining... Now there's no chance of winning, so[pdie] or just quit or make a really bad coaster Dirk (Anders kan ik nooit van je winnen [:D] Dat is ook de reden waarom Co niet meedeed [:D])

^To be honest, there are more difficult opponents than Dirk *points at number 18,6,7,... [:D]

)Ah, never saw any of their coasters [:I] to be honest with you... But I saw *all* Dirk's coasters... AND I LOVE THEM! [:O]
The reason I saw all his coasters, is because his friend (co_2808 who is in my class in real time) showed me this game. After I tried it (AND I WAS CRAZY ABOUT IT RIGHT FROM THE FIRST MOMENT [:D]) he told me to ride Dirks tracks to understand how the game really works... So I did that, and as I said before: I LOVE THEM!

Here's my teaser

But it still doesn't say a thing to you! [:D]

[*]Deadline for the contest is 11:59 EST on Tuesday July 24th.

If they're send in on Tuesday, when will they be rated?
And if that's later on, can you plz rate mine as (nearly) first?
Cause I'm leaving for a vacation on Thursday 26th on like 4am local time, so if you can have mine rated on Wednesday, I'd be really happy.
Thanks for reading this anyway, and I'm hoping you can do something with it...
