supporting this is such a pain. i deleted all the old supports and put connectors in on the track to make it look better. some supports dont line up properly with the track or connectors and i cant get a good support layout on the sideways loop because it hangs in like with the track that leads into the cobra roll

I know, custom supporting sounds easy sometimes but it isn't easy all the time Smile
I deleted most of my customs supports, too and build it new.
What could be helpful is that you start up with alll the inversions, because they have an difficulty part to support and looks good in the end.
After supporting all your Inversions, i think it's a little bit easier to build the other ones.
I dont build the pathes first, i build/create all my pathways after i'm finished the supporting so i have more options how the pathway could be and i dont change any support that i've made before.

All in all, good looking Custom Supports have an variablilty in difficulty.
If you build on an Flatland or basic layout its easy. But if you have hills, rivers and other terraforming around the track and/or the layout interacts with some scenary its the opposite of easy going Tongue

BtW, sometimes you can't use the CSO B&M Connectors, because some parts are not created.
Your "inclined loop" i think has no B&M connectors to work proberly.
I dont know if there is an v 2.0 from this set out there with all the missing parts.

Hint: safe often your park after building an support part Smile
I forget this sometimes and i invest alot of time again to recreate the supports that ive already build before.

Anyway, i believe that in the end your supports looking good Biggrin

Much better than in the past Smile

I would change, or better delete some of the lifthill ones. Because 8 for the lifthill are too much, i would go with 4-5.
The Zero-G looks good, only thing the additinal poles goes exactly in the other direcetion, also to the trainside not trackside Tongue.
You supported the inclined loop well Smile.
The Cobra-Roll has allways an "A-Shape" to support the halfloop.

Besides of that, it looks really better with the B&M Connectors and the newer support work.
What did i say, you getting better automaticly with enough practice Smile
Let's go to the Foliage work, huh? With same dark-green asiastyle trees/bushes i think it become to an beauty.

Lifthill -> looks good, well done
Zero-G -> thats what i meant, well done, too Smile

Cobra-Roll -> Silvarret's Tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvEoNtYlR-E Tongue

After doing this, i think all the supports are still as good/real as possible Biggrin

BtW, it's nice to see that you take my criticsm on your coaster as constructive help. So thx for this Smile

thanks. i will change the cobra roll, still debating whether to change the station design to look more 'asian' than 'log cabin'. probably should

Kodama -> an treeghost in japan Wink

What i've seen it looks pretty nice.
I agree with you that an more "asian" styled station would be fits better than this "log-flume"-styled one. But dont delete it, maybe you can use it as an, well "Log-Flume" Station in an future park Biggrin

I like the layout, the inclined loop is rarly used, after checking other ones work. So nice idea to use one.
The barrell-roll (heartline-roll) interaction with the station is an nice feature for the peeps Smile

Keeping up this good work.

Soo long, Cobra Cool
Keep it everytime fair and with enough respect for each other!
