Ember - uploaded

Hey guys! I've been working on a euro-fighter for some time now and wanted to share my progress here with you guys. Please note that the custom station I am building may have unconnected edges, and messed up textures even on uploading day this is because I am just practicing with this style of station. Please give feedback!

What method are you using to create the track?

I'm handbuilding it. I would use newton, but I'm on a mac.

Aw yeah, Another Mac user!

The shaping of the loop looks off

[Coasterkidmwm]

Could you bank the op of the overbank a little more? Gerstlauer generally makes those very overbanked to the point of being an inversion.

What seems off about the loop? And which one are you referring to? And I changed the overbank by 20 degrees and got lots of lats. Is there a way to fix this?

And if you were wondering the orange trees near the drop are supposed to look like fire.

The loop loop. not any of the dive loops. It looks to egg shaped. It needs to be more round.

I know about 2 sorts of those turns.

The first one is Saw's one, just after the immelmann. If you want to make yours like that one, just make it higher, more circular and more vertical. Look at this photo :



It almost looks like a inverted top hat, that's why it's so much banked.

The second one is FVN's one. It is much flatter than Saw's but it seems to fit a bit more yours. To make it looking like FVN's, you should have made your entrance and exit of the turn like straight, not keeping turning towards the immelmann. You should also have made it flatter until you can bank it at only 90?????????. Look at this photo to make you an idea.

Tiny Update.

@jcoasters: That isn't a loop. It more like a hybrid sidewinder kinda thing.

The Hybrid Sidewinder.

@LeFlo: I did something inbetween those because, it doesn't turn enough for the tophat kind of turn, but too much for the 90 degree one. Anyway here's a few pics.

Another note on the overbank is that right as its in the transition into it, it skips to 2.4 lats for like .1 seconds. Are you guys cool with that or, should I try to get it out?

can you post a better picture of the loop thingy?

Sure,

I took the inferno idea, and the euro-fighter speed: nolimits, And came up with SPEED: Into The Inferno!!!
Hope you like it. Plz comment!

Sounds like a condom.

Should I change it to Trojan's speed: into the inferno pleasure package then?

no howabout Trojan Inferno: Twice the speed, twice the warmth.

HAHA lol! [:D]

OK, back on topic. I have started, and basically finished the train storage area. Tell me whatcha think.

And, unless someone can come up with a better name, or if you think this one sounds terrible, plz let me know.

Looks nice.

How about Control?

What do you mean by that? Like, add a control panel? Or is that a suggestion for a name?

For a name

You need to remove the rails on the storage,or it wouldn`t work.
