Does anyone want to do some custom woody supports?
Your name will be mentioned in the description when it comes out.

I will send it to anyone that asks, and I will pick the best one and use that one.

Depends on what you mean by "custom". Do mean all supports or just lateral bracing. I can lateral bracing, but if want all of it done, then I can't help you there.
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.

The only problem is it takes a LONG time to do. I've tried it before, but gave up about half way through [:(]

I love custom bracing woodies and always enjoy the reward of a very nicely and patiently done job. However, the motivation for doing someone else's work somehow never finds me, sorry [:(]

How large is the track? Basically, how much effort/time will it take to complete?

Yeah sorry I cant help you there. The custome bracing is wats takes woodies so longer to complete (compared to steel). You should see how slow the work is going on my coaster Saci... Its my own coaster and I am still losing the interest in finishing it. Custome suporting can be a bitch. Maybe trying it out for yourself would work out nicely? Anyway sorry cant help.

I don't see why you should do custom supports on a woodie if you have wood magic.

Your ride doesn't even need the that much work done to it. The lateral supports that are generated by the Wood Magic, would be more than sufficient for your ride. Although the turnarounds and the crossovers may need a little adjustment, it nothing a baby can't do.

Did you even try. Cause if you produced a ride not so...uhh...complex, and don't even try to support it yourself then that's lazy, but the amount of work that is needed for this ride, isn't that much.

I'm pretty sure you can do it.

Because woodmagic is horrifying. All it does is makes a structure to hold the track in an upright position. It can't determine lateral forces from the trains speed and track bank angle, or where crossover supports should go, or even do the innercross bracings properly. I've seen older woodies use the X bracing on the inner sections, but never more modernwoodies just have one diagonal support.

I only use the Wood Magic, for the supports directly under the track, and as an outline for the lateral bracing.

The spacing on Wood Magic is also very unrealistic.

I think Wood Magic looks OK. Just add some diagonal supports and you got it quite realistic? Maybe also some outer supports at sharp banked turns.
