Kingfisher - Update 5/31

Alright, I just finished a flyer (I was too lazy to make a project thread, you'll see it on the exchange this weekend), and I began work on a gravity group woodie. At first I wanted to make an S&S woodie heavily based off of Avalanche (aka HellCat) but then it changed to a Gravity Group. I integrated a lot of elements from woodies not soley limited to Gravity Group and also a pretty cool new element that will be shown later in the post. Here are some pics of the progress, nothing major. I'm only up to the MCBR:





The element. It's an elongated air hill that goes from -0.7, flattens out to +0.3, and back to -0.3 while simultaneously going from 0 to +0.9 lats to -0.9 and back to 0. While I'm not sure if this element or anything similar in nature has been done before, I just really like it.





Overview of what's completed.

Oh sweet one,looks great!Will you make some theming?

The theming will be very subtle for this ride, I have a large project planned after this.

Did you fix the airtime-lacking airtime transitions?

^ Yup, they go -0.6 now.

EDIT: Update time!





Stengel goodness

Cool!

Bet that has ridiculous wheel hits.

Actually yep, can see em in the screenshot.

Are you referring to the stengel?

This looks sick! Can't wait man.

I'm referring to all the wheels sticking up through the running boards, I guess in the Stengel pic. You can't twist those trains that much.

Yeah, I'm making the transitions a bit tighter in the 3 areas I found wheel hits.

Edit: Didn't work.

Since gravity group is using Timberliners, should I use the Millenium Flyer trains to omit the wheel hits? I actually spent the past hour reshaping the whole stengel and couldn't get anything.

You do realise that tightening the transition will make the wheel hits worse, right?

Way to give yourself a challenge.

Stengel...?
