Pumps

Okay. I've had No Limits for a while now and I'm getting better at it but something still seems to confuse me. I've read about it in other's ratings but I don't seem to know what they are. When someone says your ride was real pumpy or full of pumps, what does that mean? How can you fix it?

I think they mean that the trains "pump" around curves, meaning there's a significant push-pull effect that can slow your train down. I think you can get rid of it by smoothing out the radii (ha- I have no idea how to spell the plural of radius) of the curve.
