Custom Scenery Exchange / Chairlift Ride

Its too bad the the designers of the game didn't include a way to put in level support poles. So if you have a long skyride from one end/side of a park to the other, it looks weird to have a huge straightaway of cable with no poles (unless you want to have the ride incline/decline in height or make a 90 degree turn).  Unless there is some kind of cheat to add support poles.....It would just seem a bit more realistic is all...

You can make level support pieces buy copy/pasting, with tile inspector, the support towers onto flat track.  Like this:

i am unfamiliar with tile inspector

Are you using OpenRCT?

No I am not, honestly

You can still do this with zero clearance by using 8cars.  Just is a little tougher because the the two support tower pieces cannot go in the same direction as the main flat track.

However, I would suggest using Openrct2, specifically the launcher:  https://openrct2.org/downloads

Do it, you'll never go back!

is there a youtube tutorial for openrct2 so i can see how it works before I try anything?

OpenRCT2 is exactly like RCT2, except you have 8 cars built into the game. Everything functions the same, everything looks the same.

Notice how the support pole has level/flat pulleys merged with incline and decline pulleys? Is there a way to avoid that?

Unfortunately not, the only way to make it work is to have have incline/decline pulleys.  It looks close enough in most peoples eyes to just accept it.

Call me picky, but it looks odd....oh well....

I downloaded 8cars to see what thats like. I extracted the files. Now, which folder does it go in in RCT2? Not ObjData.....right?

8cars is an .exe, you can just place the folder anywhere on your PC really.  Then run it in compatibility mode, Windows XP service pack 2, reduced color mode.

I was pretty proud of what I came up with in Mineral Springs to be honest. The 4d coaster track goes right along the top if it really well. Then you just have to build a tower out of scenery objects or an observation tower.
