Re: (Coaster)BMac's Dev Topic - Kuga
Only reason why I did that was because I needed the space. The ride is going to be rather low to the ground but I'm sure I can pack in some good force and air time, too. The biggest problem I have is that the ride is packing so much speed into that turn the train rattles like an earthquake, maybe woodies just aren't meant to go faster than like 60 mph?

So I got the G-Forces into acceptable limits throughout the ride so far and edited the terrain under and around the lift hill so it doesn't look majorly awkward. Making such slow progress because I really want to make sure this is as smooth as possible.

Re: (Coaster)BMac's Dev Topic - Xantia
and due to Ctrl+G being a total tool the entire triple down section got really twisty, too. So I had to start totally from scratch and make the entire section straight (along with deleting the turnaround after) and then subsequently editing every y-placement on the nodes. After a little bit of force testing I got the positive G's to be around 3.6 and the neg's around 1.3, which needs to be brought down to about 0.9-1.1 so you can keep your legs. Now the layout is going to wrap up around a hill after the now quadruple down in a figure-8 helix then dive back down the hill towards the station. It'll then go into a rosebowl (look at SoB and Beast if you don't know what I'm talking about) on the far end of the cliff. After the rose bowl it'll make a few small hills and then pass between the station and the lift hill (over the latter). I might add an MCBR there due to the length but I'm not sure, along with most of the layout after that.

Re: (Coaster)BMac's Dev Topic - Xantia
Finished the layout! Lots of crossovers and terrain editing and smoothing need to happen, too. Thing tops off just south of 8,000 feet and creeps to the station at a snails pace 16 mph (well to be honest the station is about 40 feet higher than where the last half of the ride takes place). Pictures coming as soon as I finish smoothing and getting the terrain right.
Oh yeah there might be a 3DS bridge, too.

Re: (Coaster)BMac's Dev Topic - Xantia
The reason why there's an absence of trees is because that is the edge of the usable zone for the ride and all the scenery. The bridge is a cut and paste from the premade Canyonrunner coaster that came with my copy of NL, and there is also a makeshift maintenance bay and transfer track off picture for aesthetics.
