You're right, the second pic is unrealistic. And while I'm at it, this doesn't look like something B&M would do either:

I know. The problem is, NoLimits is often very unrealistic. To make realisic supports I must use those track connectors or do every support as an object, then maybe we have better results. [lol]

By "use those track connectors" do you mean make custom supports?

I mean the things B&M use to connect the track with the supports, like this one:

If I would build them, I would use scenery objects. But -Thrill- don't need them.

Yeah you'll have to make a .3ds track connector. And as for the roof, I think it looks great. 2:1 keep it
Just keep scrolling...

If you REALLY want to get realistic with your track connections, don't forget about those B&M Ball & Socket joints . . .

Here's an example: http://www.rcdb.com/7.htm?p=33

Normally I would do, but Thrill doesn't want me to build them - that would take too much time, really...

I'm sorry to say that L Bosch will not finish his work on this coaster. That?????????s why I am going to spend the coaster a little station, nothing too special.

Here are some pics:

When the station is finished I will upload the coaster.

Looks like you need to add a "detail" layer to that terrain. Otherwise it's looking real good! Very bright and fresh.

I just playing around with sketchup and create a palm. Weeks before I made a wave in sketchup. Now I put both for fun into this coaster, take a look! ;)
