RE: Please help with (first time using) replacing supports - Blu - Jun 24, 2014

Okay... so.

B&M (Bolliger and Mabillard) is the most common type of track. It is what I showed you in the first set of pictures. This is what it looks like:

Vekoma/Arrow Dynamics: These two company's make the same style track, but don't get them confused. Arrow Dynamics makes more corkscrew coasters, like Carolina Cyclone or Corkscrew, and Vekoma make Boomerangs, Suspended Looping Coasters, and other types. See the Vekoma website for examples:

Arrow coasters look like what I showed you in the second set of pictures:

Intamin makes lots of different types of roller coasters. They have made rides like Maverick, Cheetah Hunt, Intimidator 305, and Top Thrill Dragster. The track looks like this:

These are the four most popular manufacturers, but there are over 200 around the world. Click here to see them all.

I think I found the B&M ctr you were describing at custom scenery depot. I downloaded a couple of them. Here is the link: http://www.customscenerydepot.com/cslist/index.php?content=cars. I had a few problems with my computer earlier. I had to do some things to fix the issues. But now I can start again. I have to download the cs again. But I'm going to stay away from the invisible doodads because they seem to cause problems with the game (freezing, etc). I like your station packs, but may need to do some modifications to the rc I make because of the invisible doodads issue.I will always give credit to the cs I use to those who take the time to make them. Smile I wish I had a printer to look at the pictures as I'm designing the rc. But for now, I think I have a good starting place.

I downloaded the ctr was able to install them. The cars were upside down on the ride. Is that right?

Thanks. I'll try it again. Biggrin

Sorry but what CTR are you talking about? I said that if you get a CTR, then the default station blocks will go away, but nothing about them being upside down.

Also, are you trying to build a B&M or Arrow coaster? You've kind of mixed them together in your screenshot.

I'm probably just confused. I'll find the ctr. Or if you can provide a link to what you are talking about, it would be much appreciated. SmileBiggrin

If you are going for a corkscrew coaster, I highly recommend using this one:

http://www.customscenerydepot.com/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=977

For B&M's there are lots of different ones you can use. If you need those too, I'll give you the links. I'm also preparing an arrow coaster of my own, I'll publish it as soon as I'm done making a video (probably a week or two from now).

Thanks Blu. For your patience and help. I'll look for your post. I'll check out the link you shared. Biggrin I downloaded the track. Now I have a better idea of what your were talking about.BiggrinSmile

Okay sounds like you got this. Maybe post some screenshots when you're done?

Here's what I've been doing:

I will post some screenshots when I'm done. It may be awhile. You'll be the first I'll let know...
This is a great inspiration and motivation for me. You must have been doing this for a long time. Smile
The pictures you share are very helpful. How did you guess I was a visual learner? Biggrin I have visited your page and like a lot of your work. I hate putting all that time and effort into something if its not done the right way. Wooden coasters are one of my favorites, but I'm not ready yet to tackle those supports yet. Also, Moby has 2 versions of the supports. One is a little thicker than the other. Does it matter?
