Does anybody think i should take out the extra part sticking out on the return trip? Just add in an extra hill and something fancy before the brakes? Becuase its currently 7700 ft long..

I feel it's a bit long for no MCBR, meaning your capacity would be far from realistic, but then again it all depends on the cycle time. How long is the course time wise?

Should i make the tube structure connecting the corners a little thinner? Because i feel they are a bit thick,

I'm amazed that I'm the first person to say this...

THOSE SUPPORTS :O

Are they going to kill my fps though?

Well they kill it a bit right now, i finished the ENTIRE first hill and its at 17 fps, but im gonna lower the polygons in all the tubes then the fps should be MUCH better.

More teaser-

Those supports look excellent! Hopefully the trackwork is just as impressive.

I actually love the first color scheme that you had. Red and blue is so overdone!

Dont worry its temporary!

I made a nice compromise, its like bizarro colors done right. This is all the supporting for today.

If youre in 3ds max, make all the tubes 5-6 faces tops and apply the smoothing filter to gradient the edges out. Otherwise thats gonna be a major hit.

Yeah well im in sketchup. Im gonna need to find me a plugin that will do that.

Actually, maybe do the opposite of Millennium Force..... Silver track with dark blue supports!

Holy cow those supports are legit. And I second Jonny's color suggestion, I think that would look nice.

After fixing the supports on the big hill (not the little hill yet i havent had the time) i have brought up the fps to like a 28. Im assuming it will go up another solid 6 fps once i fix the other supports!
