To truly master FVD++, I find that you need to master each of the graphs and their subsettings. For your lateral issue, use the cubic graphs instead of quartic.

Correct, you're up NovaRides.

Try posting some screenshots of your lateral problem, or check out the FVD++ thread on this site, you might find useful links there.

Hey CannonBallBob,

I too have been experimenting with fvd++ a lot recently and I hope I could give you a few tips, although you may have already found a few of these answers out yourself. In regards to the first question, fvd++ creates vectors based on mathematic equations. The line usually used in normal force is cubic, and if you've ever graphed a cubic function, you will see that it behaves in a similar path to that used in the graph in fvd++. For lateral force, it is typically set on quartic graphs, and if you have every graphed those, they appear in a symmetrical path. That being said, it will return to 0 because of this symmetry. To make it a cubic vector, you would simply need to click where it says "quartic" and choose cubic. There are other options, but you might want to experiment with basic graphs first to develop your skill.

For the other two, you should just be able to create them based on a knowledge of how the force graphs work, specifically the roll speed graph. The main concept to understand is that different levels of the graph change how quickly the banking is changing. That is to say, a high value on the graph means the banking is moving quicker, a lower means it is moving less, and at zero means the banking does not change from the value it is at. With that knowledge, you should be able to match all of your shaping desires.

Hope this helps.

Its located in Asia, China more specifically.

Which row did you do?! I did Front row for my one ride on Wednesday, and waited three hours for it...

On what continent do we have to search ?

My Misaki Jet Coaster supports going in.

This looks super cool. As far as suggestions you already have the reverse animation delay, but could you implement an instant reset option? Like boulder falls then instantly resets without falling up.

No way! I just reinstalled NL1 a few days ago and Kaloha was one of the coasters that stood out so much to me! It's awesome to see it resurrected here, I hope you put it on the exchange.
I forgot all about PAX. What a funky concept.

^ Yep. Code’s set replicates the trains and LSMs of newer Intamins such as Taron, Red Force, etc.

Oh! Right. That's why they were too large when I placed them on. Thankfully, they aren't part of the coaster I uploaded.

As a joke and to see if the layout was possible with okay-ish g-forces, I recreated the PAX Scream concept:

About the real one, here is what it was said at the time:
"And there is another project for the future: Right now the engineers work on the redesign of the 30 meters high inverted coaster Pax Scream, a concept with extreme sensations of weightlessness that caused some furore at different trade shows during the recent years. Right now there are spots with vertical forces of more than 6g the engineers try to eliminate."

Just got back from CP yesterday. Was lucky to get on Steel Vengeance before the bump. It is truly awesome, but I was really surprised it was open again on Sunday.

As correctly mentioned earlier by Asianguruu, you will need an internet connection to activate the software. This is required for all new installations, including if you are reinstalling after having to reformat your computer or some other scenario.

After activation you can run NoLimits 2 without an internet connection. You will have to manually install future updates by downloading the update file and somehow transferring it to the offline computer.

My apologies for any confusion.

Hello,
there is now a problem after installing was successfull: First i have to enter User-ID and Key and this was successful. But then there pops a window with "internet connection is required for licence key activation". What can i do now? It should be possible as written above: (Ride_Op wrote:) "You can then use this downloaded file and your user registration to activate your software."

Is there am alternative method to activate not directly with internet connection, e.g. by copying generated files between offline-PC and internet-PC? Or by copying MAC-adresses or so from offline-PC and generating an activation file? I can imagine that i am not the only one user trying to install it on an safe PC without internet connection...

Best regards

Thanks for the LSM link. Now I can finally finish my Maverick Recreation! Also, I don't have the link to the BT Paths V2 Scenery Set.

They're not for maverick, you want intim305's for that

Project looks great so far. But oh noes, SketchUp!
