(possibly even Scetchup, if I get the full version. Going to take some convincing to get my parents to allow me to buy a $495 program for just a sim for personal enjoyment).

one word: don't

it's 3d exporting program is really buggy, i learned that the hard way, so now I have this great and powerful program sitting on my harddrive doing absoultely nothing. :)
 
^And it costs too much money.

Xpress, just use Wings. Take the time to learn it.
 
Think of it as this. Sketchup is a simpler version of 3Ds max. Wings 3D is good, but Sketchup has more features that I like.
 
UncleArly has inspired me to make a Dive Machine.

I'm not going to use ANY tools, at all. I have a quick question though:

When making the holding brake what is the best method. I actually want the train to stop, so using brake is imoprtant, however it doesn't look right. Using a chain, to get the right looks, will not stop the train. WITHOUT 3Ds, can anyone suggest a solution?

Well, I just use the brake option, you could just hide the brakes, and use 3d's that will give you the best look, but as you can see below, I just use the brakes.

Anyway, just for a quick update, heres the Immelmann on Methusela....

However that transition is far too shallow. If you look at Dive Machines they are far sharper.

Yeah, I know that, but then i'd have to sacrifice the holding brake, as the shallower it is, the less time it holds it for, i'll have a play around, but I don't think i'll be able to make it more sharp.
 
Very impressive Jer. I like the color scheme. Seems to go well together. I cannot wait to see it with the scenery and everything put in. Keep it up!

Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
 
That looks really cool aswell.

I'm currently looking for someone who can make a modern looknig station for Flux. I will give them a copy of the file to work with, and everything they'd need, plus they'd get credit where credit is due.
 
Jer-Flux is looking really nice, I love it all flows.

iJustin-Blackout is looking good too, looks to be very big!

And for me........

Design, yes. Build, no.

Justin, your Black Project is amazing. How long is that bloody thing?

Arly's project seems to be coming together very quickly and looking sharp.
 
iJustin - that thing is huge! It looks good so far. As for the unknown iversion it looks like a Cobra Loop lie on Storm Runner or a Dive Loop. It depends on the direction.

I've managed to do it. Just set the decleration force higher. It should be able to hold. I'll give you a hand with that if you want.

Apart form that, it's looking good so far.

Yeah, I realised that last night! My bad, thanks though, its now alot sharper so it's looking good.

Thanks again!
 
iJustin, that element you don't know is an Immelmann. A Dive loop is the reverse, where it enters at the top. Also, try to keep your posts fairly clean, meaning you don't need that gigantic logo at the top, for your name, and you don't need to post the ride logo anymore. You can use it when you have posted the ride out on the forums :--D

And, as for that LIM Bowl:

I know it's a bit too spread out to be really considered a spaghetti bowl, but whatever, I'm a stranger to LIM Bowls.
 
^ Looks good, but there seems to be some pumping on the bottom of the first drop though.
