In this episode we look into the Planet coaster 4m coaster method. Plus some inversions you can make with it too!

This ended up being a combined "how to" video too. It felt like I should be showing you how to do things rather than just telling you about them....

In this Episode:
The 4m coaster method
Heartline vs In-Line
Barrel Rolls
Zero-G Rolls
Immelmanns
Turn Around
Airtime Hills
Hyper & Giga Coasters (Greater than 4m Method)

The series is split into 2 difficulty levels: BASIC and PRO. The idea is that if you are a new player or a console player without access to Theme Maker's Toolkit items then you can still create realistic parks but the Pro's amongst us can sink their teeth into the Pro level and really put their PC's to the test!

Parks used in this video:
(BASIC LEVEL) Jippety Point: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...
(PRO LEVEL) Raygate Lake: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...

I'd love to watch a manufacturers guide series for the coaster types. Also, thanks for making these videos. They are fun to watch and helpful.

I wish the game put in a contextual tutorial for this method. It feels like it's the easiest way to get steel coasters to be as smooth as they are IRL, which is counter intuitive to the common sense idea that you should use the longest segments possible since those should obviously be smooth with the game generating them.

Just watching you smooth that coaster made me start day dreaming. My ADHD might let me make one or two passes over a specific area before I get distracted by making my hands sword fight with ink pens or something.

This was amazing! Would love a manufacturers video as well. As a coaster noobie it's tough to know how each of the manufacturers achieve their thrills based on their design elements.

I've never played with banking offset.. damn. Thank you for this video!

I had made a 5 metre coaster just before finding this video xd. Its like the 5x5 Minecraft building trick

Btw biggest tip: test the ride in first person and keep smoothing till you can see its smooth

Very well put together. A sub series you say? I would like to know the main differences or how to distinguish a kiddie coaster - family - thrill. Where is the line drawn?
A manufacturer coaster guide will have you busy for a while. I'd still watch it. I need to know all I can! 😁✌️

This video was a tremendous help to me. I feel like I can actually make the coasters I want now rather than fighting with the coaster builder to make it do what I want. Its a shame that the only way to build great coasters is so painstaking though.

Also, doing this with M+KB on the console UI is very fast because you can smooth with your keyboard and only have to click to move the selection.
