Looking for X-Flight recreation help!

[Goku1910]

I would like someone who's experienced with Newton to help me out with X-Flight's track. I got the drop and the Zero-G in but that tilted Immelmann is impossible!

As you know, I'm excellent with sketchup and I think we really could pull off a good recreation if we work together on this. I can send the current Newton file just contact me via PM and I will e-mail it to you.

I was making a recreation of X-Flight in newton as well and I got the tilted immelmann pretty spot on. I think we could make a pretty great recreation! (seeing your AWESOME as 3ds and trackwork)

well my trackwork isn't always great, but a recreation is slightly out of my reach since they need to be precise....let alone getting it right in newton.

I wouldn't be able to 100% collaborate but my home park is SFGAM and I would love to chime in here and there.

I'll supervise [:D]

Ive been on x-flight over 50 times so ill be able to get it pretty close [:)]

Have you tried setting the heartline to 0.5?

Thanks to IZCoaster helping out on that immelmann, here's the current progress. I think the 4th inversion needs to be higher. What do you guys think?

Be sure to use an aerial veiw to have the track in the right spots.

^^Yes, it does need to be higher. Aerial views are useful but can be deceptive because they don't usually provide a view looking straight down at the target.

What's here is pretty accurate, the shaping on the Immelmann looks good but the element itself looks a little small. It may actually be a bit close to the station, also, I think the real X-Flight angles outward slightly more at the base of the zero-g, creating a bit more distance from the Immelmann to the station. Obviously I could be wrong since I'm only looking at one angle of your recreation.

I never did end up finishing the track work. If I send the newton file someone's way thing you can finish it?

this is the perfect opportunity to drop this into the Scrapyard.
Just mention its a newton file.

I might do so. I'd rather collaborate the track and finish the rest myself. I really want to start on the 3D and everything else. I don't want to give up on this sucker just yet. Gotta keep it alive until wing-riders come to NL2 for real.
