So, I desided to do a dueling coaster for my second coaster on here I have my layout as close to symetrical as I could. Here are some pictures:

And my coaster so far:



Is the crest to big?

And, do i need to redo the pull-out?
I want good feedback on this!

[Witting]

there's a straightspot in the pull-out move one of the supports a bit more to the back and right after the gears there's a sharp spot.

Yes, the crest is too big, or too wide I should say. Your pullout has good overall shaping. So I like how you're doing a dueling eurofighter, I don't ever remember seeing one, so I like that you're doing this! Also, if you have enough flexis, you should put one in the middle of the X-ties, it really helps.

The crest is a bit too big, but there are bigger issues. There is an ugly bump about the gear. Shape the track first, then add the gear. Also, your pullouts are off. It should start sharp and gradually reach level, becoming less sharp as the track gets closer to the ground.

Second update!
so, ill let the pictures do the explaining:

So the immelmanns seem to have a good overall shaping, but it's hard to tell without a direct side-view of them. So I'm interested to see how you're going to fit a helix on there, not so much the track itself but the supports. Looking good! Just make sure you add more supports to the inversions.

[DDRman732865]

I'd recommend utilizing the full length of the grid you have. The drop/immlemann could use some space between them, for a more gradual valley. The first quarter loop should be about 3/5 of the height, and it should be longer than it is tall. You have the general idea for the top half, just make sure you support it and iron out the bumps.

Correct me if i'm wrong but it seems like the last bit of track on the right side is out of the tetris blocks slightly.

[MuddyFingers12]

Thanks! And the track is not out of the layout, its just the camera angles. I am going to lower the immelman. And I need to do something about the chain lift.....

[DDRman732865]

Don't lower the immlemanns unless it isn't making it. You want to get as much height as possible out of each element.

[griffon14]

Thanks! And the track is not out of the layout, its just the camera angles.

Forgive me, but I'm not entirely convinced. Could you maybe give us a bird's eye view of that area during your next update? Also, I agree with DDRman, if the trains make it then don't lower, you'll need the speed.

Any hints on what's next?

[soggyhotdoggg]

It looks pretty good just fix the small bumps you got in there. Though I have a quick question about the trains: Are they both going to be the same length?

[MuddyFingers12]

Ok, so after a long time, i finaly desided to work on this thing. Well, here ore some pictures!







and a video:


I did have to lower the immelmans and the trains barrely go over, the trains will be the same length, 3 cars in each.

[Witting]

Looking good but maybe get some more supporst on the track of the immelmans.

[SCM]

Those immelmanns look much better. Your trains sound really loud BTW, why haven't you lubed them yet? Don't make it shorter, the lubed trains should be able to make it.

Nice! I like the immelmanns, just add more support to them and you'll be good!

[MuddyFingers12]

Well, im cancling this . There isn't enough space, but I built maartens cable launch! And made it automatic so, its the start of my new coaster!
