Well??????????????????There is a Big Tree near Final drop and brakes,I think Aytrane's MF tree is suitable



P.S How about Southern Star?

What do you mean? The trees are only temporary, I'll add the trees later. What about Southern Star?

Can you post some picures of the ride in the simulator?

I would, but when I try to upload them, it says the file size is too big. I don't know what to do.

Ooh?????????????????? I mean, Would you like to put Southern Star (Blue Pirate ship in Webcam) in your Intimidator?

I take it, you mean.. Snoopy's GR8 SK8? Southern Star is in the back of the park. But.. To answer your question, I'm not too sure if I'm going to include it or not.. My plans right now are: Que, Station, Transfer, gift shop, and maybe.. the opening pit (where the car is. I think getting back into kiddy land would be difficult.

I'm not too sure how I'm going to make the pathway or anything like that because I've never done it before. But I'm willing to give it an attempt and go from there.

Edit: Does anyone know how to take screenshots in simulation without them going over the limit (uploading size limit)?

Also.. I'm in the process of trying to find a chain motor. If you have one, please speak up. I can't find one and I need one.

great work dude.. if you need help wiht Sketchup just pm me.. i wont do it for u (unless u want me to) , ill walk you through it..

made this roughly in 2 min
(i think its not even the right texture but just showing)

You know this is his first ride I believe... You should explain to him how to fix them.

Yes, this is my first ride I've done. Can you please explain how to fix them?

I don't know how to do steel supports correctly to tell you the truth but your support sizes do look off. Look at ride photos to see how the supports vary in size.

Oh okay. Is the final turn around after the MCBR off or are all the supports off in size?

At the connection, make the vertical support extend past the lateral support node. This will make a sideways T junction.

WTF? I wouldn't do a recreation as your first ride.

In order to make correct connections for steel track supports, you must make the tube that connects the track somewhat longer than where to the other tube connects to the tube that connects to the track. Thats pretty much how. ;)

I do agree but this really accurate but with a little support work.

Griffon and Disaster - Do you think you can show me in a picture what you mean? I'm a little confused on what I really need to do.

Turbo - I realize that I'm new to the community, but I've worked my tail off last few months I've had NoLimits. By first ride means that first ride I'm actually putting on here.. Not first roller coaster I've designed.

Fear the four, thanks for the support!

ok, first of all the connectors should be either horizontal or vertical, not in between and second if you extend the support past the connector it will get rid of the wierd looking connection between the two. Here is an example:

Slosprint, since when do they have to be horizontal/vertical? I thought they had to be at the same angle as the track?

Okay, sounds good. Is this sort of like how it should be looking?

Edit: I realized I messed up on the supports in that area, I'm going to fix them, but I want to be sure I can get the style of them done first.

http://rcdb.com/4253.htm?p=23277 notice the connectors are 90 degrees

That's true, how exactly do I do that? I'm a little confused still on how to make them.

I just use free nodes rather than track nodes. You don't have to bother with the square connectors, the thin tubes are fine.

Oh, okay, I just want to make sure I got this down now: Place a free node on the track rather than using a track node? What size column should be I using?
