Now that I feel a bit more comfortable with Elementary, the H.S.A.K., and the AHG, I decided to make something a little more advanced.

Unlike Second Wind and The Tripple Nipple, no track was placed by hand at all on this project.

Download: Amazing Grace 1M, nlpack file.

Also, these files, made by Tyrant are optional but strongly recommended:
gracey-tyrant-additions.zip 2.3M

AFTER you install the track package, place the files from the zip archive in /objects/amazinggrace-riscit/

Amazing Grace is a unique floorless coaster inspired by the grace in which B&M throws around multi-ton trains so they appear to float like feathers.

Some people have commented that the supports look "strange". They are based on real floorless coasters. Reference pictures available. Just ask me.

Frame rates may be low on low end graphics hardware, such as on board Intel Graphics chip sets. (as in less than 15 fps). For comparison, I get no less than 48 fps with a Radeon 9800 Pro.

All work is original except the park pack objects, the work done by Jack Frahn and Matt Conte mentioned above, a couple textures made by Torch511, the occasional texture bundled with Object Creator, and a dirt texture from: http://astronomy.swin.edu.au/~pbourke/texture/

Thanks to: Jack Frahn, Tyrant, Torch511, Buster, & DCs221... am I missing anyone?
