Got it right, I will almost always do a loop since that my space is rectangular and not square


Yay!

I'll mostly get the drop done by tonight and maybe even the B.........;)

Again, thanks for comments


Batwing? :D


Nice loop!!!

^Aww dude, we can't hide you anything.
It's raining updates !

Weird batwing is done. I hate the old rails, they break easily and it doesn't make the batwing.

It sounds like its hitting something when it tries to exit the batwing.

A couple things,

*The train sounds like it is hitting the ground..
*Make the exit a little smaller and it will go over
*I suggest not making a very complicated layout as you are trying to do. Make something simple and advance more as you learn more about the stuff.

*YOU are doing something wrong if the rails are breaking.
*You may need to make the lift and drop taller, you need more speed.

^It's hitting a rail connection and the rail broke alone, I cut the rail on the lowest stressed area there and it still broke in half.

I will change the layout since there is no way I can get the train back with this layout.

I never did something wrong, I only said that the new rails are better.

I don't need anymore speed with the lube.

Would you believe it ? I finished this coaster in 3 days. Another reason why I love CD, you can't lose interest. I finally did a twisty element and it turned out pretty good. This was my third custom named OMG.

At some spot there is only 1mm of clearence.

This looks awesome! This is also my favorite CD coaster ever!
BTW, a regular bowtie normally exits in the opposite direction of the entrance, in case you didn't know.

ALL of my rails are like that. They keep splitting in half, so I can't build any scorpion-sized coasters. How did you get around it?
