Let's guess this one:

I know I've kinda been out of the community for a bit now, but I'd love to help out here, either doing track/supports or judging.

As far as rules go, JetPule's terrain idea seems to be a good one, allowing for the supporter to have more influence.

I do agree with all that this would be a fun contest to bring back and I will agree with the logistical and creative challenges with the order of the build. I also agree that there isn't a really good solution. People will need to understand that this is contest that has higher risk of failure than other contests and just is what it is.

I'll throw out there as another idea for the order...having somebody generate a terrain first. My initial thought is to keep the teams of 3 and have either the supporter or themer (I'm leaning supporter for multiple reasons) take ~1 week to generate a terrain (and maybe a bounding box?) first. That get's handed to the tracker to build and then it all continues as it has in the past. This would provide the tracker with a little constriction and I think it keeps the disconnect between the phases (especially if the support generates the terrain). The tracker would have to attempt to understand the intentions of the supporter who generated the terrain. It also gives the supporter a little more influence over the design (who is admittedly the most pigeon-holed member of the team to start with). It would, however, make the supporter time commitment screwy being in 2 parts.

Also, I'd be open to taking part in the competition as any role if my schedule allows. We should definitely published dates before having people volunteer to be on teams. If I can't participate, I could judge. Disco, you know my username is the same as NLE and I'd say my 2 wins (supporter of Outpost 7 and themer of Trident) make me qualified :)

Lastly, I will look to see if I have the old files and screenshots from Trident on any of my old backup drives when I get a chance. That was definitely an interesting submission...

Now with a POV.

It's not unusual to Roundup by anyone
It's not unusual to coaster with anyone
But when I see you 235 with anyone
It's not unusual to see me fly, Roundup oh my!

Roundup 235

Roundups are all about your creations. You make things and we show them off, it's that simple!
We are over halfway to Roundup 250! Start your mega projects now!

you just need to append a straight section from the anchor and delete it. when you have a section appending the anchor and then change it. It doesnt seem to work, but if you "refresh" it by adding a section directly after the anchor and deleting it it seems to apply the changes correctly.

What's wrong with my Roll, Pitch and Yaw in FVD++ for the anchor?? Doesn't work like it used to, Like if you want to rotate the track, the track stays flat but goes around in circles forward and sideways.

AceDFe19 is correct! Your turn.

No, it is based off of a real life coaster. https://rcdb.com/412.htm#p=4302
