Back from the dead

That's how I felt. My last upload was more than 3 years ago, and I haven't done anything since the site changed. I see you've become a moderator.

Think my last upload was about that too. Yeah been a mod for ages man, here and on another popular NoLimits site. Good to see you back though. NL2 takes a few uses to get used to, but then it's easy. Far easier than NL1. The graphics are outstanding too. If you're still using Newton2 for track building, consider changing over to FVD++.

I wish it would run better on my PC (best I can do is 20 FPS on low settings). BTW, somehow some of the tracks that I downloaded won't show up in the folder to select for the simulator.

Welcome back! Even though you apparently were on long before I joined the site

Welcome back! Last I saw you was the very beginning of when I joined here!

Welcome back dude! It's been a while. What kept you busy?

I just kind of lost track (pun intended) of coaster related stuff. I have immersed myself in a lot of heavy music, and I just didn't feel like picking up coaster stuff, especially feeling frustrated after my PC gave up on me (the one where my RCT2 project Geneva Gardens was on). School, a new job and all the other stuff took its toll, and building coasters just takes its time. Even now I don't feel like dedicating too much time to it (unfortunatly). Maybe, one day I will build again. I certainly have ideas.

Pretty much what's going on here as well. Soo much stuff to do and I'd rather ride a coaster instead of taking the time to create a virtual one. How's it going with the Pax in Connyland?

Live on earths ass, you saw Jamp Up land? It has been redone in NL2!

Live on earths ass, Cool5 is amazing on this forum! Come check out his creations!

I think I've been around for enough time to know cool5.
Now, I haven't been to a park in years. And I do not feel like dishing out money for Connyland. How the hell is there no decent coaster in this coutry with Intamin and B&M coming from here?
I spend most of my money on new music, concerts and an occasional game. Infact, I'm going to two or three major festivals in Germany this year, and I'll be seeing these guys on the 29th:

What happened to you pretty much exactly happened to me between early 2010 and mid 2013 for me. I started to lose interest in Coasters and started to get a lot more interested in music. Between those years I started going to much more concerts and festivals. I've currently booked to go to Download Festival the year (been going every year since 2011 now, so it's kind of like my annual holiday now).

It wasn't till I was randomly browsing youtube and the TPR video for the Gatekeeper media day popped up in the suggested videos and I remember thinking "B&M WING coaster? the f***?" and I almost immediately got my interest in coasters back when I started finding out about things like RMC and such. To think, if that Gatekeeper video didn't pop up, I probably wouldn't be here now.

Same with me, at one point I moved away from coaster-type stuff and decided to get into game development, horror specifically. I'm still into it but im really into coasters again, especially some of the more detailed/innovative/darkride style stuff.

When I take an interrest in something, it usually ends up to be an (unhealthy) obsession. I wouldn't be surprised if I am burned out on music by the end of the year, but I'll make this one count. Not sure if the same happend with coasters, but I want to take things slow.

I haven't lost interest since that first TTD ride in 2006.
