Suprise Match Up Contest - Name List - First Week

[Oscar]

It has to be realistic , can have anything you want as long as it ***LOOKS*** realisticly possible. That means whatever you build must have good g control, and must have the support strenght to ***appear*** to hold it up in real life. [:D] I hope that helps! You can have never done before elements, how do you think coaster manufacturers came up with their elements? They weren't made before so someone invented them [;)] OK I hope that helps!

Hang on a sec... what is the limit for lateral g's? is it 1 or 1.5?

It's 1 g, and I'm finding it very hard to follow. but it does seperate the creative desiners from the, huh... UNcreative ones lol

[Oscar]

1 g lateral
and yes whitey, you're right [:)]

I can't Make Custom Supports!!!

When I make a custom support, it says "This Program Has Performed an Illegal Operation and Will Shut Down" I get that a lot, no big deal, but now its just happenning every time i make a custom support, so that means im not gonna be able to have custom suppors on my coaster[:(]

It only happens on the track for the contest. I can still make custom supports on my other coasters.

That's kinda weird. you sure that your not trying to get out of making custome supports[;)]. I'm sure that you can do just fine in the contest without custom supports

[Oscar]

hmm sure works for me when tryng to do it in that template. LOL you didn't corrupt the file somewhat or something? works fine for me, how about for others?

Fine over here.

How's everyone's coaster's coming along? I've got the track, and terraforming done.

Another question: is there any minimal # of trains? Any minimal # of cars per train?

[Oscar]

3 trains on track, like stated on the instructions [;)] You can have more, but that means more work for you [:D] min 5 cars per train
hola, I wont discard it but I'll take it into consideration when judging your track versus you opponent who might not have any red g's or higher verts than 1 [:p] penalty is that your track will look a little more bad than your opponents, that's all [:)]

You can have all the red Gs you want McFly.[8)]

Even though I'm not on the official line-up, can I still send you my coaster for the sake of sending it? Also if I did that would it be graded?

[Oscar]

sure thing Coaster Indavidual

Dang, I have some of my track done, but not much.

I've barely started.

I wonder when the track is due...
Oh Well, I'm too lazy and tired to look it up lol

[Oscar]

it's posted as an event, due Saturday May 3 , 2003 at 12 pm (mid day (eastern time)

Track elements which are placed in the outer section can't have supports in the middle section, or can they?

[Oscar]

McFly is correct

My track is done, it just needs bit of tweeking to comply with the 1 lat. g limit

Everytime I complete 2 to 3 segments, i go in the simulator to see if its in the g force restrictions in the front and back seat.

That reminds me, I really should be cheking from the back seat aswell.

Can you have transport wheels on break segments, and wheels in order for it to get to the station?

yes, but you cannot have the wheels accelerate past the speed that the train would pass at if it did not have wheel in the MCB. know what I mean? if the train passes the mcb at 20 mph without wheels, I expect ti to pass at 20 mph with wheels and not 21 or 25 okie? [:p]

Alrighty, I dont really need the wheels on my MCBR, moreless to move the trains to and from the station to the lift hill to help out timing.
