I think I've had to restart my layout at least 5 times. D:
But I think I've finally got one going...

Dude, that is almost an exact clone of mine, but mirrored! Cool, but what about all the supports going out?

I'm doing all the expanding supports custom, I'm just using autosupports to preview how it will look.

Btw, bicoastalkid, your ride looks great!


Hah, I don't mean to bother you, but custom or auto, wouldn't they go out of the boundaries anyway?

here is the layout i have, it's from a coaster i already made, and it went almost perfectly in the area, just a few tweaks, and here it is:

i just have to find a support structure that wouldn't decapitate anyone.

LOL, yea really. It could be going 10,000 mph and 90 degrees straight will give you 1 lateral G... The coaster is clearly a peiece of ****. I dont want to be mean, but I dont really care since he didnt put any time into the contest anyways, it was old... Also He's gonna have a real hard time having the supports fit inside the box. He took track right up to the line.

Sweet, I made a ton of progress today. Even though I do only have 1100 ft. of track, it's comming along awesome.

Actually, if it was going that fast it would probably pass the straight section before any lateral G's would be experienced... pending that you weren't mush.

Well, I'm actually making progress. I'm having a decent time fitting things by including lots of spiral turns and multiple levels of track stacking. 1800 feet down, 1400 to go.

Man, that is so nice of you! Really, flaming some guy for posting previews of what he is working on is so nice of you!

Hah... Uhh. Is he working on it? I could've sworn he just used some old track from the past. Anyways, you don't need to have a hissyfit about it unless you're his boyfriend.

...and you don't need to say his stuff sucks unless you're a jerk. I assume wildroller isn't his boyfriend so I'm hoping you follow the pattern and learn to be a little more considerate in your choice of diction.

I'm modifying the turn so it's a few more feet inside the boundaries, which allows me to have a 10ft. wide structure (the size large enough the accommodate another track beside it, which is the width real wooden coasters' bracing is). NL has WAY too unrealistically wide expanding supports. This will allow it to be just inside the boundaries.

Ohh, I see. Actually, if it's more realistic that way anyways, then I might try shrinking the width of some of the wide supports...They're the only issue I'm having, a bunch of them go outside the boundaries by a tiny bit.

Haha, this is the first real tiny template I've actually worked something with. I'll probably put a teaser up within the hour.

Edit: AH!!!! Just tunnel tested again, and there were at least 15 problems...I'm gonna try to make an entirely different layout, but if that eventually doesn't work out, I might drop out.

You think that's a tiny space to build a 105ft.+ coaster in? Imagine building a coaster that height completely realistic to Gravity Group/CCI trackwork and layout INCLUDING realistic supports. It's a bitch!

But I love the challenge! [:D]
