Here is my new coaster, A VV Eurofighter. My next element might be a batwing. Anyways, here is what I have!
Also, I am using Bballers spine for this ride.

WOAH. It looks really good! The drop is really smooth. You should probably make that chain lift tighter, so that the train doesn't get stuck on the lift.

Very nice Eurofighter design! Gotta admit, when I saw the thread name, I thought it was a recreation of Apocalypse in six flags!

don't make a batwing loop as the first element since they're not to high irl make it the third or second element to get a longer layout

Thanks! I didn't make the chain too tight so the car can go up the lift snoothly, and it does!

Thanks! It would be impossisble to make that ride out of VV!

You should make that a lot taller. The overall shaping is good, and I like the supports, but it should be close to twice the height it is now.

As good as this looks, I personally don't like the look of a batwing on a eurofighter. At least make something else first. A batwing is usually a not-so-tall element. But your shaping is very nice;)

Apart from the batwing being too small and a bit uneven, I'd say everything else is good.

I'm not done building yet.

Thanks! I dont want it to be taller because I want it to be a high speed dive loop. I made it a tiny bit taller but that is it.

I wont make a batwing, and yah, I know they are too small. The first inversion I made was a dive loop. Anyways, Thanks!

It is not a start of a batwing, it is a dive loop. Anyways, Thanks!

Here is a new element to my ride. I guess an inverted top hat. Well, here it is!

I think you may want to try a different backbone. It's extremely hard to explain why. with that backbone, you can't really change your shaping all that much, and you have more track-twisting possibilities if you used your drop spine. I like your inverted top hat though!

This is a fantastic layout, I did not expect an inverted tophat at all!

Thanks! Actually, the funny thing is it is easier to make twisting track with that spine. Also, the spine looks more like a spine you will see on a gerstauler eurofighter.

Thanks!

Well, I got most of the MCBR done, here its is!

With the backbone you use, you can only achieve a certain amount of curve with that spine. There is a limit to how far it will bend the track, unlike your drop spine. And also, that spine will bend your connectors, which then over time, will reduce the connectors ability to snap onto rods and stay there. I just trying to prevent you from having to throw out parts ruined from that spine. But I do like the look of this coaster so far :)

Update time, I got the drop out of the MCBR, here is what it looks like.

It looks like your drop has a sharp/straight spot in it and needs to be at a lower angle. Other than that, I must say nice job on this so far. :)
Edit: I really don't think you'll have the speed for a batwing. How fast does the train go through there?

I'm not done building yet.

If you want perfect shaping with this spine, i suggest you use only one specific rod. I see in one picture, near the end of the MCBR drop you used a red rod instead of a gray rod for curving your track. Change it to a grey rod and you'll have a nice drop ;)

Remember we said to stop talking about the spine, also, that red rod is used too not make it straight or sharp, you actually are supposed to put the red rod there. Anyways, I changed the spine on that drop to Bballers spine. Just stop talking about the spine already though. Its not helping.
