Hey all, I haven’t used NL2 in a few years, but picked it up again recently and I’ve been trying to practice using FVD++.
Finally feel like I’m starting to get the hang of it. Would you mind giving me some feedback?
I’m not super happy with some of the transitions or layout towards the back half of the ride so would probably redo that part. Have a look! ☺️

Progress:



Supports are getting there; just need to run through and clean up the auto-flanges and triple-check clearances.
For now the bulk of the track is a medium spine, so I need to change a few spots. Also need to adjust the cross-tie spacing, something I neglected on Icarus.
How's the color scheme? The trains are the same color as the track, like how Leviathan is, with baby blue bogies as a touch of Godzilla's atomic heat beam.
Also..
Godzilla: King of the Roller Coasters
or just
Godzilla: King of the Coasters
??

The first and last vertex are acting as a roll node, too. You can enter the corresponding menu via ctrl leftlick and change the roll angle to the value you need.

How would I pay TheCodeMaster to have him commission a custom project for me? Paypal? Moneygram? I would be willing to pay him to make me some different styles of Japanese ferris wheels. On discord people said if you pay some money TheCodeMaster would be more willing to do custom 3ds rides and trains.

The map is revealed 30 minutes before the contest start in a live broadcast on YouTube traditionally full of technical issues and delays. That ensures everyone has a fair chance with limited time to plan on what to do.

And trust me, they happen every year... 🙃

actually, I just remembered I'm in a different time zone. I can do it actually.

Aw man, I can't do it! I'm busy on the 16th of May!

This seems like fun! Can’t wait to try this challenge again

We'll have a gallery this weekend!

Great! But I can read that Sketchup is not perfecto for some users, which other app for Mac do you advice to me?

Google Sketchup works great in NL2.

Are you sure it works great?
Scroll to the last part. Sketchup is easy, but definitely not a good choice for NL2.

There it is, but it's old. You should consider using Bestdani's instant animation.

also, about how long before the contest will the map be revealed (not a specific date). this is my first contest, and I'm pretty excited about this!

june 2 for me too
