Before I finish custom supporting, I think I may need some comments preferably by someone with more knowledge about RMC supports than I do. I want it to not look completely Wooden Magic, but not necessarily a perfect level of detail. I just want the structure to remind someone of RMC.
I looked at pics of New Texas Giant as well as videos of GravityFlyersInc's creations for reference and it seems like they use similar but slightly different supporting methods.
I had been thinking about finishing in No Limits 2 but I am kinda leaning toward changing my mind.
A couple screenshots of what it looks like so far in addition to a download link:

Ignore the friction wheel lift and the station at the top of the lift. I plan to change both things back eventually.

There are a bunch of steel track ledgers sticking up through the track, but I know that this is a a major WIP for you.

I dont have much of an answer to your question, but I think the track is superior in layout.

So the steel ledgers on RMCs aren't actually two part, they are a single angled beam and no flat beam like the auto-supporter makes.

Just make Dinn/Summers supports with cantilevers where you have loops/overbanks. They're essentially the same.
