The Stone Bridge Raceway Set

The Stone Bridge Raceway Set

I would first like to mention The Stone Bridge structural design was very challenging. After completing the Bridge I couldn’t get myself to release just a Bridge without a purpose so I thought about making cars that could pass underneath it. This created another challenge, making the span at the center wide enough to allow a vehicle to pass. Because these items I used as blocks were made in sections for copy and paste it made this a very difficult task. It looks really nice at night and racing cars through the Pylons looks great at night also but this makes bad video, so night video was left out. Setting Pylons with the Pylon Setter Craft is a slow process but it’s worth it’s time for the fun. Also Car 7 is making some nice long jumps, as for the speed goes it's not what you would think for an Indy Car but it’s still a lot of fun. Three Cars were planned to be released for this project but I decided on releasing only one.

Operations: Set all Pylons first then set the Bridge on the Runway. When setting the Pylons be sure the craft is completely stopped before releasing the Pylons, if they fall over this is not a problem, the Pylons can erect themselves using the ASDW keys. Car 7 is doing great with the throttle set at half, Engine at Dry with brakes used as needed to maintain speed.

What computer do you have if it can handle 2000+ moving parts almost flawlessly? I have a beefed up gaming computer that caps out at like 600 parts before it starts lagging (we'll say below 10 fps)

I can has specs please? (Out of curiosity)

1600+ parts for just the bridge?    I think my PC would melt well before it loaded all that in...
