Alpha Storm

This is just a little rocket ive been working on. The track layout it is done, and all track wise that needs to be done is timing and smoothing.

After that, i need to do terraforming, and this is where i am requesting help. if anyone here, is great at terraforming, and knows how to set the terrain up for tunnels, could you either teach me or do it for me.

how tall is it and how fast does it go? By the way an 3d's?

EDIT: never mind i found out 90 mph 300 feet but still any 3ds?

maybe one question coasterkrazy.

Why do you always give such a damn about theming? normally your only question is: Any theming?

lmao. well it will have tunnels underground, so yes, theming will happen.

HAHAHA lol ish i dont know i just think it adds a lot to the ride if you know what i mean

sure;) I know that theming adds to the ride. I also like theming but it's always your only question if ya know what I mean:p

BTW looks nice ragan and 0.3 lats max? Your crazy man. took a long time, didn't it?

.3 lats i just found out wont happen, even AHGing a section i got rather high lats (.8), so for every part of the ride except that part it will stay at .3 or below (hopefully ). track work didnt take that long actually, i started it wednesday, and have spent a total of 10 or so hours on it. i dunno if that is long or not though. anyways, i still have another 5 or 6 atleast with it, to get those bastard lats down. lol.

i might though just say screw it and AHG the whole thing, to save some time. depends how i feel whenever i get back from my dad's house.

You consider 0.8 lats rather high? You must be on crack.

Seriously, dont be afraid to venture up to 1.0. Remember, its not how many G's you pull but how quickly you pull them. If its not incredibly sudden you wont have a problem. Anyone can handle 1 lateral G of pressure and think nothing of it.

Just look at rides like MaxAir which rotate and swing.

I was thinking the same, but sounds like a cool project.

1 lat is laying on your side. lol, So I took about 10 hours of sustained 1 lat last night.

Well, thats true and not true.

People like to use those analogies but they arent always accurate. I would actually consider hanging upside down from a bar to be harder on my body than hanging upside down from a seated position in a flat ride (such as a Top Spin). Sure, the restraint is really tight, but its far more comfortable.

Just like the laying on your side thing. Being in a moving vehicle thats exerting forces on you is far different from laying down motionless and feeling 1 G that way. Which really isnt that much.

True, I get what your saying.

its more of a goal for me to have as minimum amount of lats. .3 does make me seem like im on crack though. lol.

update- last turn into brakes deleted, so i need to come up with a new ending. helix might be it, i dunno.

I just think 0.3, just like in NL, is a goal thats too far out and doesnt show anything more than having lats under 0.8 consistantly. If you could do that, thats VERY good in my eyes at least.

i see what you mean. but its more of a goal, though its excessive.

Just dont get obsessive over it, thats all

ill try not to. hehe.

update sort of, just a station, no big. just something i did while waiting for terraforming stuff

Is that station (with the exception of texturing of course) complete? (since there's a lack of railings at the side and safety lanes if you're adding those)

no its not done, just a preview pic i guess. i really dont know why i put it up actually.

thank god ahg

update: track 100% done, i figured out how to correct that jerk i had going into the brakes. also today, i had a date with the terraformer. and i got to admit, i actually found it fun after i figured out how to use it. im almost done with the terrain, with one surprise that i think will add alot of adrenaline to her.

3 new ones up.

Looking great. But for the environment, you might want to move the sun or disable it from being visible since part of it sticks out into the clouds and looks odd. You also might want to use custom supports? (but don't forget vegitation)

But it looks good anyways. Keep it up!

oh yeah, i know. this will be 100% custom supports, i just like to put up prefabs to gimme an idea, and trees go last, they piss me off in the editor too much cause they get selected even if something is way closer than that. no worries, i got all of it covered
