Thanks for the comment woodie man!

Here is a new screenshot of the track flying by the station;

Just ignore that tunnel and the station roof and that will all be gone in the final product.

Nice tunnel test violation you got there ...
Seriously, very nice layout man ...

Looks fantastic, it looks like it has loads of head choppers and close calls. Can't wait to be riding this. Also one question about the supports. Do you hand build to make them nice and neat?

Hmm, supports. The entire time I have been building this thing I have been dreading the time when I start the supports. It is going to be a nightmare! For the entire coaster I will use the autosupporter to at least build the basic structure, but almost everything will have to be tweaked and alot of it will have to be changed because of all the crossovers and close calls. The wide supports will probably be half autosupported and half hand built.
I have no idea how I'm going to do this with the terrain. I'm going to be so lost when I start supporting!

And I'm still needing someone to help build some 3ds terrain and a tunnel and maybe the station if anyone out there wants to volunteer! Of course, if you volunteer, you don't have to build 3ds terrain/tunnel and the station, unless you want to lol.

Im not sure of any this advice will be usefull to you, but if you want it you are welcome to take it.

Only create a simple support structure as you want all of your wide supports to be hand made, so that realistic finish. Nows theres only 1 easy way i found which is good for custom supports. Before you do that, preview the supports with final quality and make the wide supports line up so you don't have get confused with more nodes which are not necessary at this point.

Cool, thanks for the tips!

I uploaded two new screenshots - http://nldc.interfix.net/i7156

The layout is just about complete! Right now it is 3663 feet long which would make it the longest GCI woodie in the world if it was built in real life. I still have to built a final hop and the brakes.

Looks like a close call Fornication [;)]. Just remember you also have to add the supports to the bottom of that track, but if you calculated it correctly it should be a thrilling ride for us lot. [:)]

It is close, but that part that is overhead in that shot won't be banked quite as much as shown in the screenshot. It passes the tunnel test in the steel looper coaster mode and with a wooden tunnel the track only shows in the top left hand corner of the tunnel, which would be almost impossible to reach, unless you are like 7'2, but then you wouldnt be riding it anyways lol

Also Fornication, that doesn't count since the people on the train above can't put their hands below the track. So for the tunnel to go under the track is really pointless.

huh? That makes no sense. The part of upper piece of track that shows through the wooden tunnel is the left side of the track, the lowest part.
