Hello Everyone. I decided it is time for me to reveal my first ever coaster in NL2. I have spent Numerous weeks learning the software and watching tutorials to come as far as I have. Please let me know what everyone thinks and what I can do to improve. I am planning on adding custom scenery to the coaster and custom supports. Also if anyone has any name ideas they are greatly appreciated and your name will be mentioned once the final build is complete. Well now to the coaster. Please keep in mind that I am new to this game and this is my first coaster.

Coaster Type: B&M Sitdown
Coaster Name: TBA
Max Height: 150.86 Ft
Speed: 62 mph and keeps nice pacing throughout
Inversions: 7
2 stations: 1 loading and 1 unloading

The colors are subject to change if needed and the prefab supports will be gone. The G forces are fine no red and no G spikes. It does go into greenish yellow but I am sure it will be fine. Again, please leave your opinions below. Thank you. :lol:

^ I tried doing something a little more creative that also has realistic g's.

Also Update from today. I changed the colors from red to a light blue and added storage. :)

EDIT: I added another picture of the drop and messed with the environment. For a name I was thinking Rayu or Rayo (which means lightning) Thoughts?

The last picture made the drop look much better. Make sure you do your own supports because the track work looks pretty good. I'd hate to have your rating go done because of it. (:

I will be sure to do my own supports. I'm using prefabs for now because I hate seeing a floating track lol.

I apologize for double posting but I have a small update. I changed the cartextures on all trains and started some custom support work. I never new how time consuming that is :o Also to add I think I may add another coaster along with this one. Not entirely sure yet. Thoughts?

EDIT: A new picture... and is that another B&M coaster? ;)

Thanks for the feedback! I'm so glad to hear that you all like my project so far! It definitely motivates me. Also I will be posting an update hopefully sometime tomorrow. And I like the name Tsunami. I will look into it.

Again sorry for the double post but I have an update! I still have not chosen names for either coaster yet.

The second coaster track is now complete. :D The prefab supports will be gone. However I am not the best support builder.

On to the second coaster...

Stats-
Coaster type: B&M Stand up
Coaster Name: TBA
Max Height 151.83 Ft
Speed- 63 mph
Inversions- 4

The G's go into greenish yellow in 2-3 parts for the rest of the ride they are green. No Red and no G spikes. Also the colors are NOT final and are definitely subject to change. If anyone has any other name ideas comment them below. If I choose your name I will give you credit. Please leave your thoughts below and also please keep in mind that these are my first NL2 coasters. Thank you!

What are the G's in the back seat on that drop? I hope it "sets you back down" gently.

I really like the Raging Bull kind of drop on the stand up, its odd you put a sit-down and a stand up next to each other, but you have them both unique and varied enough to pull it off.
What are these for?

Hey guys I'm writing this on my phone so sorry if there is any typos. More pictures will be up sometime tomorrow. Thanks for so much feedback! On the stand up the back seat pulls 3.5 G's at the bottom of the drop. And the sit down very back left seat pulls right around 3.4 G's at the bottom of the drop. Also I still do not have named for either ride at the moment. If anyone has any name ideas they are greatly appreciated! :D

The B&M Sitdown now has a name thanks to Turbo! Tsunami- Brave the Wave will be hitting you full force October 1st! Not a huge update but I messed with the terrain a little and added a tunnel. I still haven't named the B&M Stand up. I will start working on the 3D soon. I have messed around in Google sketchup but for some reason it shows up Black when I export it to No Limits 2. I tried downloading Anim8or to try and change the black faces but it won't open... because of this If anyone wants to help me with the 3D's (small things like a station with coasters names) It would be greatly appreciated! Please leave your thoughts below! On to the pictures! :D

I can't quite tell from the screenshots, but are you using the heartline mode for these tracks?

Other than that, they look really good.

I believe so... I use the spline, G force, and speed comb displays.

Also I am still looking for someone to help me with the 3D stations. If you are interested it will be greatly appreciated :)

To fix black faces in NL2, simply go to the NL2SCO Editor, go to advanced, and click fix ambient materials! Easy as that.

Thank you so much! I will start working on the 3d objects tomorrow. Also does anyone know how to import the track into sketchup that way I can build around it? I can't find a link to download the Construction Kit and I don't have the pro version.

Construction kit can be found on L Bosch's website, but I don't think you can use it for NL2 unfortunately. But there is a hugely involved method using Cinema4D

Thank you for the link. I downloaded the Construction kit and you are right. I don't think I can use it for NL2...Also I have no idea what Cinema4D is. Would it work if someone would be willing for me to email them the track and them convert it to a 3d model and email it back?

there are a few different drops of rides that I wish that they would change the seating for the time being so that way people can experience stuff that they would not normally be able to do.
