I tried that but I couldn't figure out how to rotate them?

Edit: Just realised how stupid that was. Figured it out now. Will make them vertical :)

Supporting is well under way. Also, what do we think of these train colours?

Train colours seem a little dull to me (not boring, just flat), but these things often look different in the sim. Not a criticism, but these things can be hard to tell from edited shots.

I do love the look of that turnaround though... :p

Thanks Hixee, I'll have a play around, but for now:

So, supporting the track has been completed!

Nice little twisty section after the vertical drop..

And the lowest part of the ride down by the river (with ye old cliché, 'supports cannot touch the water')...

Edit: I forgot to flange, but it will be done :)

That turnaround looks like Takabisha had a kinky night with Cheetah Hunt. I love it.

Credits:

Thank you to both m_haugh and Ajax_coasters for their help with testing. Further thanks to Ajax who provided much needed advice and amazing smoothing skills for half the ride! Also thanks to ByeTom for the rocks and the fog 3Ds by Richard Lerwil. Also to djd711 for his environment which I have tweaked slightly.

Theming:

All theming (except rocks and fog) was built using supports. Occasionally these were converted into 3Ds via use of the Construction Kit, but they were built using purely the editor. Note about the 3rd launch. The 3Ds would not align properly and it got to the point where I was wasting time, so I have removed these and as such it uses the in-game LIMs. So please take note of this whilst riding.

Don't really post much here, but this ride needs one.
Loving it, it's a real killer ride.

Just a few tweaks here and there and it would have been perfect.
Last in-line have a small bump on the entry.
A few small supports have a to large angle which makes the tube not connect correctly to the footer (either skip the brace or make them tighter).
Also put the "first node" between the stations, and you would start from the first one.

You have come a long way, this track is a keeper..

Re: 'Amarok' - Intamin LSM Multi Launcher - Download Availa

When Uncs releases a new track, it is more than simply a time where you click a download link and rate. It is an event to be cherished. You've come an amazingly long way since Dendritic, which was the first track of yours I downloaded. I could nitpick the technical aspects of this ride, but it wouldn't be worth it. The ride is that good. And that wonky Takabisha/Cheetah Hunt turnaround is one of the most marvelous things I've ever seen somebody do in NL.

The theming was great, but the rolls were a bit pump-ish in the back seat. Pat yourself on the back though, solid 9/10 from me.

Re: 'Amarok' - Intamin LSM Multi Launcher - Download Availa

The stand out part of the ride was the theme. The Siberian tundra and wilderness was captured very nicely and went well with the ride. The layout and pacing was the next key note. I simply could not get enough of the roll over turn around thing. I can't even imagine how weird that element must feel in real life.

One aspect that I noticed was that some of the turns, especially towards the beginning were underbanked and this took away the snappy, Maverick feel of the ride. I also noticed a few of the turns could have benefited from the split-split technique. Lastly, the only other issue I noticed, which was quite minor to be honest, was the rolls were a tad pumpy in the back. I wouldn't fret over these minor issues though.

Once again, well done! 9/10

Re: 'Amarok' - Intamin LSM Multi Launcher - Download Availa

I'm very VERY impressed.

I thought the layout was great, the technique was fantastic and the flow was awesome. I'm fully echoing everything that has been said above. Once again Arly, you've done a brilliant job. Taken your time and come out with something brilliant.

I cant get enough of that turnaround... <3

Re: 'Amarok' - Intamin LSM Multi Launcher - Download Availa

Thanks for all the comments guys. I know what you mean about the turnaround. I've actually been playing with that idea for about 6 months now. But didnt want to create a track with til' I was happy.

It was created totally by accident though, It did have a standard exit, like CH's but I accidental dragged a couple of nodes and then thought hmmm, and so it was born.

But I really appreciate all the comments. It means a lot to me!
