Looks good SFMMMan17!
I like the supports andthe colours look good for the type/style of the ride.
It might jutst be the angle, but that turn after the cobra loop looks a bit dodgey, might just be the angle though.

Anyway, heres my newest under construction coaster, see if you can guess the name from the picture :P

(I haven't forgotten about the Stealth rec. just yet, but i don't want to carry on forcefully if i've lost a bit of intrest...)

Anyway heres some pics of my newest coaster!:-

Please Comment!
 
I'm guessing the name is Xiver?

Anyway, it looks great, but I have one issue:

What's up with the supports at the bottom of the first drop? They don't look right.

Otherwise it's great!
 
Wrong name XD

And yea. Now you metion it, those supports are just rubbish :\

i'll change them tomorrow as i'm going now. But thanks for the comment!

Discrimination? Oooh, I see lawsuit.....

Too bad that I'm allowed into the forum :P

Well, now that you bring it up bob_3, three tube track is much stronger than 2 tube track. You still have to use a lot of supports, maybee in the Intamin style?
 
I did my Apostasy track which was a Giant Eurofighter consisting of mainly Tri-Track and 2 sized tube is suffice, size 3 looks ridiculous.
But this is coming from the guy who used a size 2 tube on a B&M ;)
 
Well I'm in another NL comp with Pokemaniac, Lord k and Kim again, it has to be an X-car in a set amount of space, 2500ft min and no launches.

Heres a sneak peak of mine.

Oooh, heartline rolls. Like I haven't seen one before. You should use a slightly bigger heartline for the X-car, since it has varying heights, to lower the lats. Your heartline should look a little bit wavy.
 
woop woop for snoo! You could also say "ooooo coasters, Like I havnen't seen one before"

Xpres there is commenting then there is bashing, and you sir are bashing.
 
I also joined the X-car comp. Here's my project:
Mjollnir-080310151256000.jpg

As this is my first coaster with extensive custom supports, I don't have too high expectations for the comp, but things may happen...
 
Ooo very good pokemaniac. Thoose supports must have taken long as i've said before. Good luck with the compotition everyone ;)

An update on "*****" (Not saying Name yet!)

The layout is now finished as seen below>>>

(The loop may seem a funny angle, but i assure you its just the picture)

Thats all for now!

Please Comment!
 
If that is supposed to be a Diver as the name suggests (with the E backwards) then the drop must be steeper.
 
I hope that isn't what your loop supports look like [-X

Take a look at some B&M supports. You'll find them to be much better looking than your Dean0123321 supports :)

As for that sign up there, it will be fine just sitting there, connected to the track.

As for your loop, if it looks like this then you're fine ;)
 
:lol:
I acctually looked at Sheikra for the supoports on this; not for the loop, but for the lift and turn and drop :P
KK i'll take a look at the loop supports on Sheikra more and try to make it simmaler. (does sheikra even have a loop?) If it doesn't i'll just look at something else ;)
But if i can't get a clear picture i'll just keep my current supports, as i don't know supports well enough to fill out the gaps in the picture if there is any. I've probably confused you enough now so and update should be on later today, but if not later tomorrow.

Thanks for commenting!

EDIT:

O and this is the real loop shape >>>

BOO.jpg
 
That's a better drop, but the connection between the loop and the drop could be better. Right now it have a big pump by the node, to fix that I would suggest you to split that drop a couple of times to use shorter sections before smoothing it out (it makes it easier to handle).
 
^No SheiKra doesn't have a loop.

You may also want to change the supports at the bottom of the drop. They are pointing in the wrong direction.
