Router is bricked, no point in living anymore.

...so fix it?

I tried everything, but it didn't work

Aren't routers like ?????20 or the equivalent monopoly money of your choice?

Unplugging it and plugging it back in is not "everything"

Routers can be very cheap if you know where to look.

Well, I want to buy a high end router and one that won't break. My price limit is 200

Maybe make your loop a wee bit rounder

I'd go here. I have had the best results with Cisco.

Update 4
I have seen a few track pictures and realized that I have done a few things wrong
It should look like this

So I fixed it and made it look like this


I made the track a bit larger and smaller and fixed how its supposed to look



And here is another random picture

Looking good. I still hate FT's layout though.

FT is a very hard coaster to recreate, the dive loop is a weird shape in real life, and the coaster is not symmetrical in real life, so recreating it is a nightmare, also all the terrain makes it just that much harder.
Sorry bro, but it's a hard coaster to recreate, and I can see many faults.
Try and see a pov, and freeze frame inch by inch of the track to get the shapes better.
Don't be afraid to take hours on a section!

^ Yeah, I agree that FT's real dive loop looks weird. I always feel why they don't make that section smooth like one inclined dive loop!

Just look at the weird shape lol
but it looks perfect at another angle!!!
Very hard to recreate lol

Looking good so far.

High end is useless unless you have an actual need for it. How big of an area are you trying to cover, and what's your upload/download speeds?

[TTD03]

Definitely looking better!

I will not be posting updates for a while, I want the next update to be second to the last update.

[TTD03]

Ok no problem!

Ok, so I took a longer break than expected and I feel like I should start taking a few more suggestions from the community. So I'll add an edit to this post to the download to the latest version of the recreation and ask for a few suggestions. I have to ask you to keep a few things in mind:
- The 2 other tracks for the looping box spine and the 2 tube track is most likely going to be temporary and will be replaced with scenery in the final version
- I don't want to have the script written at the moment because I feel there is a lot more work to be done on it and adjust the speeds and add a few more transport tracks to make the ride a lot more smoother.
- I don't even know what I was doing with the terrain and that will most likely be gone, and the terrain was just to try the supports out.

Edit:
Here is the download link:

Hopefully this FT plan will be more better.

Welcome back to this project!

This is a small update but i started working on the spine for the coaster.

Sorry for double posting but I uploaded a video showing a POV of the recreation. Here's the link:

Ok, a few things..

1) major props for attempting SMFF's largest waste of space since, well, Superman. I mean seriously, like Superman, Full Throttle (yolo coaster) is a one trick pony, anyway, here comes the criticism.
2) The speed at the apex of the loop is too fast, the train slows down way more, to create am "is this gonna be a rollback?" type feeling.
2) the pacing is pretty close
3) shaping is still something to be desired, but your second attempt is way closer than the first.
4) the 2nd launch section seems too curved and kind of elongated
5) I would reccomend adding 3d's to enhance the experience, namely, the old metro tunnel that the 2nd launch is enclosed in, as well as the Superman:EFK plaza that the dive loop wraps over and under.

I would love to create 3ds for the ride but I'm not very well with creating scenery for anything. So I'll probably need to get someone for that too.

Not sure if you have seen this or not but here is an easy way on how to create the backwards and forwards launch without any scripting.

I have seen that before but it goes straight back. Full throttle waits about three seconds and launches back. It more realistic as a script so I'd rather stay with a script
