October Quarterly Contest 2015- Results Posted

Making progress. I'm really happy with my ride so far.

I've sorted the layout I think but this is a pain to support around the congested areas. I predict support work to take the majority of the time haha

Supports may go out of the light blue outline.

Thanks for clarifying, this was my main issue. Does the entirety of the station structure have to be in the brown area or just the track?

Just the station part must be in the brown. If the station building goes out that is acceptable.

Unique to RMC are elements or combination of elements RMC has yet to used (I.E. Loops, cobra rolls, Immelix, a double down immediately to a double up, etc.)

poop, Thought that meant an element only rmc has used. Time to redo my layout

Since others are showing off current progress, I might as well too. I started working last night and I'm currently about 75% done with the layout. I'm hoping to get that done this weekend, then the next week will be for smoothing everything out and making sure all the forces are within reasonable limits.

So I take it literally everyone including myself has a barrel roll/inversion right next to the turn back to the lift? Guess I have to make mine special then.

Station track part?

[Blase Rhine]

My bad, station building may go outside of the brown outline. As long as the track is within the brown it will be okay.

Phew!

Ill post my progress too! Finished my layout and now seeing if the color scheme I had in my head looks good in reality . I still have supporting to do so thats why the supports look kind of funky right now. By the way, I have named my RMC "Rouge Rattler".

[Blase Rhine]

Looking good!

^What he said

After a late start, I think a hulk like launch is unique maybe?

[Blase Rhine]

yes that counts as a unique element. and I love the fact you are using a launch. Keep it up!

[Mr. Freeze]

Noice

One Question: Would a 90 degree drop count as unique element? Because I don't know of any RMCs that currently have one.

[Mr. Freeze]

They have come close to it, I would count it as a unique element if went completely vertical or beyond. Not sure if Blase and Meta would count it or not. Great question.

[TTD03]

Not an official judge but the rules state if RMC hasn't done it, then that is unique. So yes, if they haven't done a 90 degree drop, its unique. Again my rules, only Blase and Meta have the final word.

[Mr. Freeze]

You are forgetting someone there buddy. JK, but Ill talk it over with them later and one of us will post here of what the verdict is on that as that one is something that RMC could do.

Although they have come close RMC has not done a 90 degree drop so that counts as a unique element.

[Mr. Freeze]

There is the verdict.

Just a small update on when uploading your track when you are finished. Please name the track

[OctoberQuarterly-Trackname]

Also if you are using custom scenery packs (example. TheCodeMasters RMC trains and rails) Please be sure to list the credits below.

and lastly please list your 2 unique elements in the track description along with a short (could be a sentence or a paragraph) summary of your ride. Thank you!

Does a 161 degree over bank count as a unique element.
