^^They are. I had NL's settings at their lowest when I took those screenshots with the supports in them. It sometimes does that on my computer when at the low detail setting.

What does everyone think of those colours? I took the colours from Titan/Goliath, but made the supports a bit more blue instead of teal and lightened the orange. I think if I keep these colours I will slightly darken the orange though.

The gray rails look a bit odd. A bit more color might help the rails stand out.

Slight change, darkened the orange and lightened the blue a bit. As for the rails, IMO, nolimits coasters look wierd with coloured rails. When looking at the track (especially Intamin track) the tubes and rails all jumble into one mess of colour. Thats the reason I put it to a bare metal colour.

You have the supports and spine good, but imo it looks odd with grey rails. As always looking foward to downloading, and the layout on this is awesome.[8D]

Use a light grey then with the orange, it will contrast a bit better.

I think you really should change it to 6 cars and the lift speed to 8.3, That makes alot more air on the final hills.

Leave it at about 7, you have to consider capacity as a factor. Unless you aren't going for realism, or your ideal target park is a small one that I'd doubt, would build one of these in the first placed.
For colors, I say either use the light grey, like Real mentioned or keep it all the same track color (a more realistic approach, I don't think I've seen 1 Intamin track with different color railing from the rest of the track.)

^When I first looked at that pic, I thought the right rail somehow got recolored from the left lol.

Anyways, I agree that grey rails look more realistic, I seem to use them all of the time. Maybe I should try mixing the grey with a bit of the main track color.

Now theming starts. I doubt I'm going to do much, just a station and a few other objects.

FN, try lightening that grey. Just for me, throw me up a screen. I think it could dramatically enhance it. Might be my monitor but I think a lighter grey would be less "harsh" than the dark grey. Plus it would help the orange and blue stand out more since as it is, that grey seems to dominate.

Looking good. I was wondering what "fornication" means. I looked it up on Webster and the meaning is not the nicest of things. http://www.webster.com/cgi-bin/dictiona ... on&x=0&y=0 . I'll be expecting a good coaster.
