Best FVD tut on yt by far.

[@softsoundriver]

It would be lovely to see even more tutorials of you conducting fvd++ methods. I experience your videos as the most helpful and in depth tutorials I could find. Thank you very much :-)

I use fvd, and u kinda have to just guess and practice but this video is giving me tips that I was looking for, very much thankful 😊👏👏👍👌👌

I recreated your steps to learn a bit more about fixing pumping. I wanted to see if my coaster pumps (exact same coaster you designed with your measurements etc.) and it does not pump. Did FVD change something that pumping isn't a problem anymore?

[@frankleemadere9020]

There's no version of FVD where pumping isn't a "problem," per se. It's something you should consider when designing your rides no matter the method more-so than it's a problem. The undulating nature of pumping can be uncomfortable during intense portions of a ride, but might add more character to a slower section; try not to sit too comfortably in the box! ;) And trying to match my numbers here is kinda missing the point. You should be *feeling* the ride as you design it. There's no "pull this many g's over this many seconds with this much roll and you'll always get a wing-over that snaps just like batman" to be found here. Understanding *why* the numbers come out the way they do to make certain elements is much more powerful than knowing the numbers verbatim.

Great video! And this was extremely helpful, idk if i will use it though because it looks so hard

[@frankleemadere9020]

You can do it! Don't underestimate yourself. With some practice you'll be creating awesome rides in no time. Just be patient, and let yourself make mistakes. It took a pretty long time before I felt I was decent at this, so keep at it! ^.^

​. So true. Great advice. It may look intimidating at first, but with a bit of fooling around, practice and a good introduction like you did, it will help a lot of track builders :) I also like the track view in fvd because you can ride the track in pov mode with the actual speed of the train. You get a pretty good impression of how the ride experience will flow :) Great tutorials, well done!

[@pablorubio8287]

could you do a tutorial on more complex elements like the mosasaurus roll, the arieforce one and maxx force zero-g rolls, outerbanks, and most of the modern elements
