Nimbostratus - B&M "Giga"

looks MASSIVE

FACT: 1 out of every 1 real life B&M giga coaster also looks massive.

^LOL

At Jakizle -Yeah she's kinda big. Here is a pic of the entire editor.

But... I'm pretty surprised at how small the editor actually is. Relatively, Nimbostratus is on the bigger end of things as far as all coasters go, but it's not really that huge.

Does this even have a lift hill? I'm interested to see the drop and if it's got anything special, but it seems like you've shied away from showing it. But anyways, love the layout, looking great so far!

judging from our layout, and comparing it to the other pics I think I understand your emphases on flat. unique idea for b&m atleast.

^Yes it has a lift hill and yes I'm hiding it for now

ooh, I like secret lift hills....

^Muahahahah.

Just like... tryin' to keep up attention and advertise heavily haha. Here's a little more.





Two of the major airtime moments in the ride.



The hammerhead.



Can I ask you guys two questions?
1- What are your thoughts on the colors of the track with the colors of the train? Honestly the support color isn't really produced yet so it's irrelevant as of now.

2- Are my pictures really shiitty quality? Just wondering if it's just me... they look so terrible and pixelized to me. And I'm not sure if it's always been like it or if I'm just noticing it. Do others have the same quality issue with track that's really far away in the sim? Even close up track doesn't photograph well with me. Maybe it's something with my graphics card? I'm not equipped to make that judgment...

1) I like the yellow and blue personally.

2) It does look a bit pixelized, nothing major (especially for teaser pictures doesn't especially matter) What resolution are you running the simulation at?

^Thanks. I'm in the one that's like 1360x786

Here are some editor angles to show some more shaping, in angular form of course [;)] Hope you guy can take a hint.

Launch???!!! Methinkss.........

^ I thought I already implied that

Looks awesome Gerst! Having ridden the only IRL one of these things I must say that yours looks like you've captured the style of it very nicely. And a launch...

Yeah I never said there would be a launch haha. Thanks for feedback. The editor pics are hopefully for better criticism if somebody thinks it's pertinent.

It's curious that the first editor overview pic is all blue, as in he's not showing any lift/transport/brake sections at all. There's definitely room for a lift before that slight right-sweeping bend which could be a classic B&M slightly curving pull-up. I mean it could just as easily be a launch, but it's not possible tell without more revealing pictures.

He already said that there will be a lift hill LOL

I mean, I guess he could change his mind, but given it's Newtoned I kinda doubt it.

I need more help with colors. I hate the red supports now. I like the light blue or black. I'm not final on the supports. Any colors are up for change though, tell me what you like or don't like. Or give me suggestive direction.

Yeah I think the red is a bit too stark in contrast to the faded light blue. I think the white has the right feel with the track color. It's clean and simple, and that makes it look relatively elegant. The black is fine, I just think the white works better.

try a dark grey, that could look nice. but if that doesn't work out, then the darker support would be my choice

[gouldy]

Torn between the light and the dark colour to be honest, both look sweet for me. Probably the white one just shades it!

If you did a really faded red (try the preset maroon color on the supports) it might work better. That red is too bold though.

Anything goes honestly, but having red supports that would look good certainly adds originality to the color scheme.

A lot of times it's easy to pick a track color then a neutral color support. But if you color both, it's usually cool.

It's not white, dcs, it's got a tiny blue tinge, lighter than the supports on Griffon but the same idea I think. But yes I like that better.

I'm over the red for sure. I think I'm gonna go with the white. But I can definitely see myself changing my mind back to dark dark gray [almost black but not quite] when I finish all of the supports.

I don't know what has gotten into me... supports are going quickly? Supports are done. Less than 48 hours... whatttt the heck.

So I'm almost for sure on the dark gray now, as I suspected.

I like the new support color, it looks good!

That looks ultra shmexy.
