Could we have a hint?

Hint added

Could we have a hint?

More scenery progress! Just need to do the plaza stuff, signage & add more stuff to the station interior.

Oh, I'll queue with you, I'll wait there with you
This is not a fast line
Just a Roundup, looking for 437

One thing I'd like to see updated with Dive Coaster drop chains is if they could function like a normal block, in much the same way Baron and Apsaras have their lifts set up - maybe with the ability to have ARBs over part of the chain, rather than the full length?

okay idea for in NL2, a clearance envelope visible in the editor.... (or the wooden support generator gets another improvement to complete keep the track clear).... I spend so much time editing my supports that by 2 minutes before deadline I felt like well all the major clearance issues are gone, let's hope for the best that the coaster now only comes with an imaginary storage (insert crying face) well better luck with next year's impossible challenge haha

You do know that there's an in-game clearance envelope scene object you can add to a train in the editor, right? (shows up on the rear car when you run the sim) Or if you want to quickly check supports, just set your entire layout, or the section in question, to be a tunnel segment. There's a quick clearance envelope.

using the in sim clearance took me ages to check the supports, freezing all the supports, then loading, getting the train to the area that needs to be checked and then identifying where the clearance wasn't right yet to then edit that particular support in the editor, took me already ages, but yes I underestimated the time I would need for support work since I had faith in the support generator, so I was under the impression that taking 4 hours for the entire coaster, then testing and placing supports was fine, but oh man was I wrong...

but using the default clearance envelope has two major flaws - too slow, and too hard to catch.

for tunnel method, tunnel is always way much bigger than the envelope so it cant make the clearance as tight as we can, which is very important on some situations

could someone make 4 passenger Morgan train shells? i would like it for my Phantoms Revenge recreation

I have a train model somewhere in my files - you'd have to convert it into a custom train but it will work. PM me and we can talk further.

I am so excited for this, and I can't wait for this to be released and Pheonix is Hands Down the most beautiful B&M wing coaster I have ever seen!!! and Andre do you the trailer release date for Terra Phase 4?

Hey guys, it has almost been a year since sombody has posted anything in this forum. I was wondering if terra phase 4 is still happening? We haven't heared from Andre in a long time.

The project is more than likely dead. It's been approaching 5 years since Phase 3 released. Could we let this thread rest please until Andre's ready to release any updates - if at all? As Intim305 put it...

Every couple months somebody bumps this thread asking about an update and every time the post directly above says the exact same thing [...]

[...] its annoying every couple months to see this thread back at the top thinking it's a new project update when its just another bump that could have been avoided by reading one post up

Except this time it's increasingly less likely that Andre will release it.

If he releases it, great. If he doesn't, asking for updates every few months for what is essentially a passion project isn't gonna do him any favours. Let's respect Andre now, shall we?

Gonna leave this quote from Marc here - this is the second time someone's had to repost this.

^ When there's news, we will know. It doesn't help to bump old threads, nor does it change the status of the project.

Also had troubles with the clearance... I really hope that I found all the spots where the generator "failed". Overall it was a fun challenge! I am still not sure how close to the original SoB we were supposed to design our RMC :D

Thanks to the team for providing the 8th 5Hop!
