Design Info: This coaster was inspired by the Spider-Man movie.
This project took me 6 months, 4-5 NL updates, and 2-3 complete redesigns to complete it. I hope it was worth the wait
21 different Skyscrapers, and 18 other 3D-objects, more then 60 custom textures are used, trying to take advantage of everythimg NoLimits can offer. Overall there are more then 220 3D-objects used for this coaster.
BTW don´t forget to activate the environment, that comes with it, also when you think you drive through an object, this one was supposed to be smoke.Since NL is not able to create smoke at an specified area I was forced to use this objects, to hide some thinks.;-) (SORRY)
Also when you think that you hit an object please make sure you look at it from outside the cars, since the on-ride-perspective seems to be a little off, and I checked and triple checked the whole track for any hits.
But if you should find a hit make sure you make two or three pics of it, from different perspectives and send them to me. webmaster@digital-experiment.de
Thank you!

Spider-Man
One hero will take you for the ultimate spin!

Peter Parker is just the average, ordinary guy next door.
But a field trip, and a genetically enhanced super-spider is going to change his life.
Discover his new powers, the ability to climb on walls, super-human powers, and to spin webs, while he jumps down a 330+feet tall skyscraper, to swing himself from building to building overhead the city-traffic.
But remember:

"With great powers, there comes great responsibility".

Are you ready for the super-hero adventure of your life?
Then sit down, make sure your harness sits tied and
"Go for the ultimate spin!"

Additional technical info :

Since this coaster is very object intensive, please read this first before you ride and rate the coaster.
This coaster was build and tested on the following system, and the lowest fps was: 18

CPU: P4 2GHz
Graphicsboard: GeForce 4MX 460 64MB-DDR
Memory: 256 MB DDR
OS: Win XP

The following NL-settings were used:

Resolution: 1280*1024
Depth: 32 bit (Make sure that NL is set to 32bit and not 16, somehow the building roofs started flickering at 16bit, and you´ll experience an enourmes drop in fps, but when using 32bit everything works fine)
Mode: Fullscreen
Texture depth: 32 bit
Texture filter: trilinear
Detail level: best
Shadow level: very sharp

Advanced settings:

GL-Extension: ON
Stencil buffer: ON
Dithering: ON
Vertical sync: OFF
Multitexture ext: ON
Reflection: everything
Scenery: ON

The 18 fps are only coming up on 4 places for a very short period of time.
But as you can see I had NL set to best quality, so you may increase performance by lowering some of the settings (i.e.: shadow level can be set to OFF, since 3d-objects cast, but can not receive shadows yet, and most of the area that´s visible during the ride is covered by 3d-objects).

Best performance can be obtained when no progs are running in the background and maybe a reboot can help out, a little bit.
SORRY for that inconvinience.

Okay that´s all I wanted to say before you start to ride/rate or download the big extra file, and find out that your PC can´t handle it :/
