The top part should be steeper. At the moment it looks flat. Well that comparison is really good. It is turning out great!
EDIT: Also the banking of when it is inverted should start later.

This.....is....awesome!! You almost make me jizz...:lolo Good luck with the rest of the layout.
Whoa man... That's not normal... :rotfladd Haha, thanks.
From the top picture that you showed us:
The top part should be steeper. At the moment it looks flat. Well that comparison is really good. It is turning out great!
EDIT: Also the banking of when it is inverted should start later.
I first tried to make the top part steeper, but doing that made the crest start to bank, and it looked really bad. And I already mentioned why the banking is a bit off in the update.
That's incredible! Best VV drop I've ever seen. You must have a ton of 90 degree connectors! And Kevyn, he can't help the banking, it's VV track, it doesn't let you bank at any less than 90 degrees, unless you have the special turning track.
Thanks! And yep, I've got a crapload.
looks great the anking is right on but the top looks flat drop needs to be steeper but the bottom of the drop is dead on
I changed the drop a bit and now its steeper.
That is so sick dude.

Thanks man. I appreciate it.
No doubt about it this is the nicest vv coaster i have ever seen. All that I would do is steepen that drop and your good.
Glad you like it. And I did make the drop steeper.
Well not a big update. I was looking at the drop and something looked wrong to me. Then I figured out the pullout was WAY too high off the ground. It was one and a half oranges and now it's just an orange. So I fixed it, now it looks better, and this fix will save me lots of pieces in the long run. A win-win-win situation for me. And I also added the lateral on that one support.
Comparison still looks good (the end will go up like the real pic when I start the loop pull-in):
Onto the loop...

Love it. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, and I'll try.
Great! That drop looks perfect now.
Thank you.
Looks really nice. Unlucky you can't do the steep thing but it still looks really good.
Well I think I'll live... Thanks.
It looks nice, but if i'm correct, i see a bump between the last lift support and the first drop support.

As NitroDude said, that's an illusion created by the twist.
Who would have known that VV could look so nice? Man that looks perfect so far, move on.
Thanks dude, glad you like it.
looks great now best VV i have ever seen the bottom of the drop looks just like the real one
Thank you!
I've been building the loop and I want to know if this is good shaping.

The only thing I can see is that where the loop's left is seen crossing the right should be at more of a 45o angle.

WOW! that's awesome! The zero-G is gonna be hell to do though.
Thanks, but as other people pointed out, I changed it a bit and it looks better.
Try making the loop more like this.[i know its the picture is the second loop but the two loops are he same] I see that there are sharp spots on each side at the support that holds the two tracks together. After that, it goes straight and then another sharp spot. I know you will support the loop more, right? The coaster otherwise looks great. Keep up the great work!
I think I fixed it and I still have two moe supports to add.
From about 45 degrees to vertical on both sides of the loop is a straight spot, if you make those spots more round I think it will look much better. And I know you're not done supporting it yet.
I think I got it.
AWESOME WORK!
The only thing I can see is that where the loop's left is seen crossing the right should be at more of a 45o angle.
Thanks and again, I'm pretty sure I fixed it.
You should fix these straight spots, and can you use other track strenghteners at the very top of the loop? the ones you are now using looks a little ugly
I know those green transition connectors are ugly but I cant use the orange rods like the rest of the coaster because they can't bend that much unless I want to permanently ruin them. Plus the other camera I use for video recording doesn't make them as bright as this camera so they won't be as distracting.
Hows this? I modified the strengtheners and supports. Also, ignore the end of the pull-out; it will be more curved once I start the zero-g.
