It seems that i having trouble making good top hats (like the one on Mr. Freeze). I get high lateral g's when it starts to turn and it goes over pretty slow. If i increase the launch then the lateral g's become too high. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Heartlining. Make the track revolve around the train instead of the other way around. I would go into more detail if I were an expert at doing this. Sadly though, I'm not. [:(]

lol, i tried to make one. I want to know, how many segments do you have? When i tried it, i had one, and it kinda looked like a level zero-g roll[:p]

[shocked] 1!

You should make 4. First make two and do the basic structure of it. then split each of the two segments and bank each new segment at 90 degrees.

oki, also i have a problem. If you downloaded my phantom, you know the corckscrew on it is basically perfect, imo. But when i try to save it, and press ctrl to select multiple segments, for some reason it also selects some segments in the batwing ( and i didnt click them). Is there some reason why its doing that?
