For the skies, simply switch the environment under it's menu in the sim. Otherwise, you can set the default env. by going under the track ifo and then browsing for it.

As for logos, they go on cartestures. You'll likely need photoshop or paint shop pro, if you don't, you'll have to use paint, just beware that it can't read .tga's. Once you're in the program, load the default cartexture forthe coaster type you're using. First of all, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the cars themselves, you'll have to know where which part goes where. But since most cartextures have the NL logo on them, you can place your logo there and earse the NL logo. Just never overrite the template, especially if you're using paint or something that doesn't support translucentcy, if that alpha channel's removed from teh default testures, you won't be able to select colors anymore.

Theres tutorials on http://www.digital-experiment.de for them.

I can't believe he thought what he made was a dueling! I thought he learned already, but maybe he's different in crowds than private talking. Maybe he just wants to look good, but he cannot make a coaster yet, but I'm trying my best to teach him.

I think you are thinking about the AutoFlanger, which is availible to download @ www.coastercandy.com in the NL Tools sections.

For the skies, simply switch the environment under it's menu in the sim. Otherwise, you can set the default env. by going under the track ifo and then browsing for it.

Those tutorials are only good for anyone not using the 1.5 update and only for the coasters in 1.5 that didn't get updated.
The new cartextures use the .png format. IMO, I think the new ones are easy to make because you don't need to mask out part of the image and you can have alot mroe detail.

I only said tehre was tutorials, I never said there were tutorials for every type of coaster. And you can still use the .tga format if you want.
