I honestly think it looks unflowy and all over the place. Seems like it stretches out way too far. And why is the station so far away from the boost track?
I'd try to lengthen the transitions, especially between the first and second element. Add some flat and 30* track pieces to spread it out a little. The rest could be cool with theming added, plain layouts usually never look good unless they are wooden coasters imo.
Have you tried using a large half loop after the launch? I think that might flow better. Right now it's looking a bit rectangular.
The drop that follows it is too much of a spike - I'd consider using a large swooping turn and go for a mellower drop. Pretzel looks ok but might be improved if you thread through it closer to the middle by using the small downward turns. I don't really know where to start with the 2nd half.. sorry. Just try and smoothen everything out, avoid kinks etc. Love everything else you've shown anyway.
Looks really cool! As everyone else has said, you should widen those transitions between elements. Also, if you care about stuff like this, the outward half loop would kill the peeps .

It's pretty slow at the crest and anyway, good hard or go home. cheers for the input guys

oh yeah tried the loop but I can't merge the top of a loop to a flying flat (cause I wanted it to glide a bit before the next drop). I also want a bit of height and a long hill to the loop makes it too ear like?!
so just wanted you guys opinion of the track layout as I know that was one of the main complaints of nowton. Its a powered launch flying coaster with flat and inverted loops.

Is it going to be heavily themed? It looks quite awkward/forced in places
edit- also you don't have to show everything you build on it, leave some surprise for release

Supports, maybe?

I'm loving how people are now making launching flying coasters. I don't feel left out now. Anyways, I love this! I can't wait for you to theme it!
