Invisible track is cool. Can recreate like what Dario from Scream Machines made back some years, the Star Wars racer pods. That'd be very neat.

I want custom trains so we can basically design our own coaster types

From what I gather, you could script a custom train to follow an invisible track and make .3ds track. Complicated to get right, but possible.

Will the available area in the editor be approximately the same, or will we have more space to work with?

Considerably more space. The NL2 workspace is greater than three times the area and nine times the volume of NL1. The active simulation space in NL2 is 1536x1536m (5039x5039ft) wide by 500m (1642ft) tall. Diagonally you could create an out-and-back roller coaster 4352m (14,278ft) long with only two turns, an airtime lover's wet dream.

I could make an accurate Voyage recreation as well as a 1642 foot tall death coaster if I wanted, with a launch speed of whatever the max speed of transport devices is in NL2 (I assume it's higher than 124.3 mph?)

all I can think of with those numbers is a super rattlers revenge/i-rat

I will nowbe able to make a 1,642 bottomless pit for my future Jamping For the Lovely Candlelights Jet Coaster or a 14,000 foot long Meisho jet coaster with a 500 foot tall 1MPH lift.

500 foot tall 1MPH lift.

ZZZ...

can we see what the auto supports will look like and a possible wooden train..?

would love to see a 500ft wooden terrain coaster like voyage and hades had a child of the devil and made this beast

We'd like to hold off showing the wooden coasters until we've finished rebuilding the PTC and GCI trains. Currently only the Morgan is done. The PTC trains will go quickly. The Millennium Flyer will take a bit longer.

I know we already have Dive Machines added, but is there any chance for B&M Wingriders in NL2?

^I would guess it's likely, but if not, something we'd see soon in an NL 2.x release.

Sounds like complete theme park recreations will be possible, now. I'm now giddy from the possibilities.

I do believe they said they will not add those as there have been no "normal" cars for it, they are all themed per ride. Therefor they can't. Unless that was for a different kind of coaster, but I believe they said that about the wingrider, possibly Pyther could confirm this.

i think they should just include them, they could make a generic front end that would work well for it,
i for one would love to see a wingrider in nl2 mainly because of how big the size of the templete is

Ahem...


Cant we just script new trains in?

How about some proper classic trains like NAD Century Flyer or P&C, any chance? Or at least different restraint configurations on the PTCs?

I remember them saying that for RMC, but not wing coasters.

Pretty sure he mentioned some kind of "irony" class that would prevent that. Not sure exactly what that means.

Ah yes, that was probably it. Although it probably is the same issue with Wingriders

umm, X-Flight? Don't those cars look pretty "normal"? Gatekeeper used the same design, minus the bird on the front car...

If you're good enough with the math then you can write a script to make an object follow the track, accelerate due to gravity, do the wheel rotation and linkage kinematics... all of that. Unfortunately, until the API is more fleshed out, custom trains will be functionally inferior to built-in ones because they won't be able to respond to track types and settings (ie. brakes, transfers, transports, station handler and e-stop commands, etc). The good news is that Ole is constantly expanding the library of methods available in the API. And so as programmers become more sophisticated with their scripts, developing the need for more functionality, he'll be able to add it.

The B&M Wing train is going to get done eventually, but not for launch. It can take several months for us to put together an entirely new train style from scratch and we just simply don't have the time. We actually put a halt on new train styles long ago, doing only a few contracts for our industry partners since then. We're happy to say at least those contracts will make it into the sim. The official count now is 37 styles... so yeah... Sufficed to say have a few surprises left in store. [:)]

[Coasterkidmwm]

You guys should request even more things and then wonder why it takes longer.

37 styles? You guys rock.
