Newbie Trying to Make a Loop

[Jeriacor]

Hello I'm brand new to Planet Coaster.

I was playing in the first scenario and making my first custom roller coaster with the Steel Vengeance type coaster. This roller coaster seems to be able to make every inversion under the sun except just a regular vertical loop. It's not in the list. I tried making my own with the track but it won't angle around past 90 degress.

Am I missing something?

This has been mentioned on the forums at least once by me as well.
This type of coaster, while you can build prefab loops, does not allow building loops yourself.
I could guess it has something to do with how the track limitations are implemented, or they couldn't get the visuals right for that, or both...

I'm pretty sure in real life full tear drop loops are not possible on RMC Hybrids just because supports and restraints. The supports are wood so it makes sense.

It wouldn't bother me that I couldn't custom make it if they were just included in the pre-made pieces like everything else. Even half loops up and down are included, but you can't even tweak those the few degrees it would take to make them a vertical loop.

As for the realism of this type of coaster having loops, I think that so long as they are including all of the other ridiculous forms of inversion, a simple vertical loop wouldn't be a stretch at all. Either have them or don't.

I also think this is a major weirdness when it comes to coaster building.
Very similarly there is little reason that one cannot make their own prefab parts.

for me if all the coasters had the same inversions there wouldn’t be much of a variety. But tgats just me

This is the first issue I've had with the game too. Every kind of loop and roll under the sun, except the classic loop!
