Queen: the ride

after being put off of my last project (which was ninja by the way) by gav and alton i decided to trash it, my latest is called Queen: the ride. it's not a definite name but it's themed on guitars and queen are such a good band i decided they needed a ride for themselves, that was ten times better than led zeppelin: the ride, (who by the way needed a much better coaster pledged to them) so here are some picturesof construction so far, it is based on a giant guitar so that will be made with 3ds and put in. no colours have been devised so far, testers and suggestions welcome

all photos are in order of the rides path

does anyone know any tips on smoothing because i cannot get this thing smooth, can someone help?

You have tried the auto track smoother?

If you need testing, I am here.

Ive never seen anyone design a ride using the 'playbook' technique...

I didnt put you off a ride, i dont even know what you were designing!

halo: thanks that would be great, ill email it to you

symbiotic: wtf?

alton: check back in the hard hat area, you made me lose my being bothered...ness.

i've made some modificatons to the track, mainly the MCBR, allowing the train to not pick up so much whiplash entering into the MCBR

coasterking and halo have you you recieved the track yet?

Hmm, doesn't look that bad actually, curious to see what the theming will be like.

[hyyyper]

how many inversions does this sick ride have btw?

i never realised it but this ride has broken a world record with nine inversions on a floorless! i'm al;so having trouble with theming, i tried to put an object made in oc into the coaster and it's come out as this:

has this kinda thing happened to anyone before? if it has, how did you fix it?

[hyyyper]

is the texture in the object creator exactly the same as in the NoLimits/objects folder?

yes

This looks like its gonna be a great ride

ah great now it's happening to another piece of scenery i've done, i'm really getting quite annoyed now.

if u want i do the texture in 3d max, it dosnt screw it up in NL

yay! new update! i've smoothed out the track and added much 3ds, but i still need to support, make a car texture and finish my 3ds, i've added a trim brake so that ridership will be higher, and changed the colour, 'cus i didn't like the one before!

casper that would be great if you could do a better station than the one i have, because frankly the one one i have now is s**t

lookin beatuiful with those 3d's... btw did you ever get my reply /w/ the comments from testing the track???

no, i didn't, i don't know much so i figured you might be testing it still...

This ride looks nice, have you got an update for us soo far?

welli just gave you an update, but i should mention that the trim on last picture isn't realistic, it was simply to increase ridership, should i keep that in?
i have created a queue line, and some speakers which will be broadcasting the music while waiting on the ride, no pictures yet, i will post again soon

If it's only there for the capacity, I'd remove it, realism is always better and I'm sure you can put 2 trains on this right?

okey dokes!
