RCT3 Wooden Roller Coaster Supports - which one's to use? - so many

#1
I'm a beginner at replacing roller coaster supports for b&m and wooden coasters. I've watched tutorials on youtube on both. With the B&M the supports are usually Moby's Steel Jungle. But for the Wooden Coasters I see so any different supports. I am familiar with all of the different wooden one's but wanted to know which one you prefer and why? I've seen wooden catwalk sets as well. If I'm going to take all of that time to make a wooden coaster I'm not forgetting that. Please leave a comment. Thanks. Smile

for B&Ms use moby's steel jungle, coaster joes connectors, and cpiscos footers (i may have butchered the names).

for wooden coasters, i like to use moby's wooden supports. it has lots of pieces and it can be re-coloured

If you meant butchered them completely, nope XD Only error I could see is CPCisco instead of CPisco. And maybe the space between Coaster and Joes and the apostrophe, but I'm not going to go completely grammar nazi over a video game so I'll not complain about that....

But yeah I agree. JCat's Steelworx may have instant loop cobra etc. pieces but those can act awkwardly at certain heights and locations, so it's great, Amy, that you're using Moby's.

As for wooden coasters, I'm personally a fan of these http://www.customscenerydepot.com/index....w;down=856
Those completely replace the in-game wooden supports with realistic, detailed, 3D ones. They still rely on Frontier's support algorithms, however, so they don't connect to some pieces properly, won't look realistic when track is passing underneath at the edge of the supports (the supports will then make way for the lower track without making additional ones at the sides to balance the supports), and they may look like too much for the smallest wooden coasters or too little in density for the biggest projects. In those cases I'd also recommend Moby's Wooden Supports and Big Burger's Timber. I don't do wooden coasters often, however, so what do I know? XD

^I'd prefer BigBurger's Timber 2.0 over the original set.
