Terra, Phase 4
NoLimits Coaster

It's a slow process to make such a big park by myself I'm afraid! :P

Good news is, the new update has given a much needed boost to FPS!

MrBassFanatic posted on September 7th, 2019

Will you do a version without the day night cycle and lights like it is now? Because my pc runs terra decently actually and I'm on an Intel graphics card. (I keep the graphics settings on minimum but this thing is BRILLIANTLY optimized)

I can do that, or you could also drastically increase the time it takes for the day to night cycle to run. Most of the big lights are off during the day, and only turn on during dusk to sunrise.

Now let's take a look at some new things!

Here's the new part of Terra's Skyline:

Phoenix dropping in:

Getting up close and personal with the 90ft high volcano:

A real mess of track:

Some cool new near misses for Zephyre too:

Aeterna's brand new station building:

And the ride's entrance area:

Action shot:

And finally, an overview of how the Phoenix Initiative and the Mystic Hollow expansion fit into place here in Terra:

As always, clicking the pictures should direct you towards the poster versions should you wanna see them much bigger.

For the forces / charts / time stuffs I use nl2telemetry to log and export datas into .csv files (I use https://github.com/bestdani/py_nl2telemetry).
I export datas from 6 specific points in the train (Front Left/Right, Middle Left/Right, Back Left/Right, I guess you understand why these).
Then I made an excel sheet that automaticaly gather datas and do everything for me (figuring out the min/maxs and make the charts).

For stuffs like Track Lengh / Height / Size / Banking, I manualy check these ingame inside the editor (I draw a rectangle with support beams arround the ride for ground size)
(btw, Height is Height relative to the ground, not the game coordinate, that's why this ride Height is 31m when coordinate say 32m, because Ground level is at 1m).

For Capacity I just chronometer the time for the same train to pass the very same point on the layout, then you can get capacity out of it. Basicaly (1h / 1TrainFULLCycle) * NumberOfTrain * NumberOfSeatPerTrain.

I used to check everything manualy, but csv export with telemetry made it so much easier and more accurate (especialy regarding the amount of airtime for exemple). So big thanks to Bestdani !

Solid coaster. You definitely have the most in-depth stats about your rides that I've seen from anyone. Do you manually calculate all that information, including the min/max g's in different parts of the train?
