Ballistic NG - Wipeout fan project

Good sliding, are the pitch controls in this version? The last version I played came off the track and played pretty well

Pitch control is somewhat in, still needs a bit of work until the next release though.

that video looks awesome!! keep it up :)

stevie:)

I just checked. You are correct in that Hyperion cannot be trademarked! As long as it bears no identifiable similarities that might cause some reason for dispute (like Hyperion yellow, which is trademarked), you should be fine.

I will be taking part of the project by helping out with some tracks and machines.

Could you put a track that is on one of the Hawaiian islands? That would be really cool.

Well, I did plan on making one set on a rollercoaster attraction of a previously abandoned theme park, but that would require a lot sharp, blind corners, some parallel track sections and a section of a "Sphere of Mirrors" and a HUGE plummet towards the end of the track.

So I made up a track description of a track on the island of Maui. You don't have to use any of these details but you can if you want to.

Kahawai bay: (kahawai means river or stream in ancient Hawaiian.) Kahawai bay is a very long track, so long it had to have two pit lanes! The track starts indoors inside the huge Kahawai resort complex. There is then a wide straight section and a 90 degree bend that goes out of the resort. Then there is a small crest and your ship does a massive jump into a huge circular tube sticking out of the water. Then you land at the bottom of the ocean and there is a very technical section of track around the coral reef. You can see colorful fish and coral under out of the clear floor, ceiling, and walls of the tunnel. Then you emerge from the tunnel and cut back through the resort. As the pilot in first place flies through the lobby section fountains activate as they pass. After a few turns in the resort we move on to a very technical jungle section. (think alca vexus but less visibility and more trees.) This is why the bay is called Kahawai bay: there is a visible river going from the cliffs of Mauna Kahalawai through the jungle right next to the track and down to the bay. After the jungle section there is a climb up to the side of the cliff and some vertigo inducing jumps. After the fast, straight section on the Cliffside there is a left right left chicane and a big drop down to what is the centerpiece of the track: a huge water filtration plant turning seawater into freshwater for the growing population of the mid-22nd century. The track goes inside the plant and has some sharp blind corners in low lighting then the track opens up and suddenly there is a small ramp and a HUGE drop down to the canal. (think Altima VII but BIGGER)
(you can also put a DANGER! sign up as a little 'easter egg' for the most loyal fans) as you land you're in a wide, clean and flowing canal. (like vohl square 3 but without the wrecked bridges and clean.) at the end of the canal there are bright flashing arrows telling you to go right or left. Right path: you go into a tunnel in the side of the canal and there is a large upward spiral of track (like cubiss float 3) and when you emerge there is a 180 degree left hander then a whole bunch of speed pads and a HUGE jump across the canal. When you land on the other side the track connects with the left path. Left path: you enter another tunnel and there is a long straight hill then another 180 degree turn onto a wide clear section of track suspended above the canal in a U shaped 180 turn back onto solid ground. It then connects to the right branch. There is then a long straight section back to the start in the resort.

Again, you don't have to put all those features in, i'm sure that would be one heck of a job.

Not bad, I'm pretty sure we'll have that under consideration.

I was working on the layout the other day, forgot to post it here :) Just a note for anyone else who wants to share a track idea in the future, if you've got the layout in your head please don't explain it and not provide an image because it's just confusing. Everyone has access to some form of image editing software, be it MSPaint, Gimp or Paint .NET if you are looking at free software. All it has to be is a line and maybe some labels around the side explaining.
