Ive recently been working on a new NL coaster. The past ones i've made were pretty crapish and i dont want to make one like those again. :). so, to prevent me making one like that i decided to keep tweaking the coaster till its ready to go, ive been doing that for about 2 weeks right now, and i think its smoother than ever before..


Image

Some things i havent done yet:

- Fully builded environment (just started)
- Fully builded supports (only a few)
- Colored the Ride

The lay out is pretty much like i meant it to be, but id appreaciate any feedback on the lay-out of the coaster and the smoothness / bugs.

You can download it at:

first of all, u should use the AHG to heartline the 1st drop, both your turnaround hills and the final turn

second, your track has not much sidewards movements, it's all paralell, try some more twisted track, crossovers are recommended

third, there a some point where the track really get close to the track which could seriously hurt someone when hitting the track.

some layout suggestions:
high speed turns,
dive loops,
corkscrew,
helixes.

hope it helps

Thats really going to help :).

Im thinking about removing the Cobra Roll and inserting some other elements i there to get some lats in. indeed, there are no good bends in the coaster.

it is, a nice tool made by buster,
i don't know if you know what a barrel roll is, if you don't:
http://www.rcdb.com/m/ig2528.htm?picture=18
it's a inversion that's making the cars twist around the middle postion of the car, and, when insterted properly produces very low lateral g forces
now the AHG makes your turn bank proberly so that the heartline (you can add it to NL in the editor's dispaly menu) stays in the same position when there's no banking at all...
if you still don't get it, pm me
