Strava Problem solved

Will there be a way to download all entries?

Hey everyone, here's the results!

Results spreadsheet (scores and comments): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13ANElHTgdawEdisqoJwbKDzlF3eRgSkaCaSGKEYF5Cw/edit?usp=sharing

I'm amazed at how many styles were in this contest, especially the amount of rarely built, obscure models (definitely unexpected...). As a whole, the layouts are more diverse than I expected - every submission has at least 1 exclusive element or original feature (such as switch tracks, tilt tracks, swing brakes, swing launches, unique trains, etc.). I'm extremely glad that the unusual template inspired so much creativity and innovation, always love to see it in NL2.

Special congratulations to our top 5 entries:

1. ML Designs - Explorer (MACK Xtreme Spinning)
2. DarkStar - Phoenix (B&M Flying)
3. Jackson G. - Cliffhanger (Intamin LSM)
4. docoaster - Eagle's Screech (Vekoma Flying Dutchman)
5. maxip - MegaLooper (Arrow Looping)

If you didn't get the score you hoped for, don't be discouraged. Use the feedback to improve your future coasters, and don't be afraid to ask for more. If you have questions about my scores and comments, feel free to DM me. Since I started participating in contests, the constructive criticism I've received has helped me improve at NL2 so much (special thank yous to fintamin and hazel here). I wanted to reciprocate that goodwill with co-hosting the National Park Contest.

PSA: To anyone trying to improve in NL2...
Participate in as many contests as you can. The deadline can motivate you to finish your coaster and give your best effort. The constraints and template force you to think creatively and innovate. And if you submit your ride, feedback is guaranteed. If your first coaster for a contest isn't in the "top 3/5/10", don't feel sad - no one starts off that strongly. Though it won't happen immediately, getting that first "top 3/5/10" ranking in a NL2 contest is fantastic - the gratification just might empower you to keep on improving. Never stop trying, the worst thing you can do is give up.

This was the first time Loundlim and I have hosted a contest, and because of all your support, it went extremely well! Thank you so much to everyone who participated!

Barrelle Gulch by Kw6sTheater has these instructions:

"Must install PvM and Pieter's Vekoma MK1101 mod before opening this park! (This is the custom style used for the Vekoma Tilt Coaster)"

Where can I get this mod and how do I install it?

I searched the forum and found a file in a post by PvM called Vekoma MK1101 Train.
But it seems to be for use when making a new coaster.
How do I install it so a coaster in a package can use it?

Hey everyone, we have the final rankings for the contest and are now working on a results video. We hope to release the results very soon, I'll keep you all updated.

Incredible! I'm glad you're still following along. I'm up to 1,200 rides on Raptor now. Hope you're doing well.

I was 4 days old when the Moonlanding took place.

Is that the real Real?? haha
I certainly remember you from way back during the coastercrazy days. Your NL1 designs were inspirational to me when I was younger. I still remember Missile and Quatro, those were such cool looking designs! Can't wait to see what you've been cooking up these days, if you're still making creations.
Oh and I went by Iron_Man back then.
Man, I was just a cringy teenager so long ago. lmao

Just for your own edification Alex, I still watch just about every ride you upload to YT. And everytime I ride Raptor, I remember meeting you and I think I rode with you somewhere between your 300-400th ride that year.

What up party people. Keep the awesome rides coming, I need them to download so my kids can ride them in VR!

Hi, I am trying to run FVD++ on my Mac. I am currently running MacOS 12.6.1 Monterey and my Mac does not have an M1 chip. I am also getting the same error, I have heard disabling the gatekeeper might help? I tried it and was unsuccessful. Below I attached a link to a tutorial on how to disable the gatekeeper. Keep in mind that this is an important security function. Good luck with getting it to work :)

ahhhh well. i did have images. but it seems that they've gone missing now. i'll fix that

But these images are very small.

Maybe a screenshot or preview of the build area might garner some more interest?
Neat idea forcing entrants to incorporate more than just the roller coaster into the overall design. If I get some more time between holidays, I may be interested.

Personally I find the rules quite confusing, not sure if I'm the only one
