The one and only NoLimits 2 Topic

I heard that there will be transfer tracks. This is so exciting because it will make it be more like actually operating a coaster. I am going to spend the whole day moving trains back and forth!

I sometimes get very nice results , And playing and messing around with other poples tracks is a great way of getting inspiration (not copying or stealing), a good way to learn

People, read before you keep posting the same stuff. Password protection would only apply to the TRACK INFO, so you could still edit it for personal use. It simply provides a means of telling whether or not an uploaded track is stolen.

You read, a few posts above me, paople are talking about password protection on the track editing.

Wow, I just saw the video and I'm really looking forward to it! [:D] Too bad it's more than a year away though. [:(]

What I've noticed about NoLimits is a lack of balance in the graphical area. I look at the brakes, launch systems, etc., and they look fantastic. Nuts, bolts, magnets, the whole shabang, and great quality too. Then, I look at the lift chain, anti-rollback, and mechanics underneith the train, and I wonder why was there so much work put into one and not the other.

The video wont work for me! Help please.....

Edit : Didnt see the video on the previous page. Sorry.

The brakes are recently updated, the chains are still like they always were. Perhaps Ole thought that brakes and lims are more important to look good that chains

I don't think there's much we can do, unless, he makes the whole train like some sort of animated object. The anti-rollback, is because (excuse my childish explanation here) of this "little" peace of metal at the bottom of the train hitting the teeth of the ARS. Well not to say it's impossible, but that would look like to would take some time to work. The whole correspondense with the teeth of the ARS and the sound of it hitting, will be very difficult most likely. And then you got the Chain and the "thing" that locks into the chain. That I think would be very difficult, maybe. But I don't really know how the whole game programming world works, so what could be hard for some could be easy for others. So maybe that gives a more reasonable explanation, not to say the Sobek's wasn't reasonable either.

good luck with your project

This looks really good. Do you think it will be worth waiting for the second one or should I just buy NoLimits 1 now?

^ Unless money is EXTREMELY tight for you, I would buy NL now. It's only what, 30 dollars?

Secondly, here comes a noob question. With this transfer track idea that might be implemented in NL 2, will this allow for backwards sections something like Expedition Everest?

Backward sections would be nice, I think atm we can only hope it's going to be possible

I would love to see the following 2 items get implemented into the NL2.

1. Ride Operator Speeches. When a train returns and when a train leaves. Please place all secure items in the bins before boarding the train. Please fasten your safety belts and ride attendants will be around to make sure you harness is secure. Enjoy your ride. Clear. Welcome back passengers how was your ride. We will be placing a new train on the tracks there will be a temporary delay. This is just some examples on what could be added to the control box.

2. Test Dummy's when running the trains in test mode making you run the train for at least 10 tests before it can become operational to the public.

Thanks go out to OLE for the greatest program created and keeping the dream alive even when you can't get to a theme park.

The test dummies thing raises a question for me. In NL 1 ( Since the trains are empty ) Has ole altered the train mass to the equivalent of a train loaded with a average weight of riders, or do they run empty as if Cedar Point sent Millennium Force through the course without dummies? Just a question, because it would drastically effect the correct calculation of the G forces.

^ That would be nice. I've noticed in NL1 that the g read outs are not 100% consistent when testing rides. Maybe because I have a real old machine, I can only run 600x800 resolution, but that doesn't seem like it should affect how the sim operates rides.

I did finally see the video. Great rain and water effects. I just hope my 9800x Radeon card can handle NL2.

^^^ Those things are nice, but let's hope he doesn't forget to make the rides themselfes. I'd love to see more coaster options then before, like bobsleighs and backwards. But what I'd really love to see is that you can create your own car with 3ds.

They should add suspended swining coasters in nl 2

all I want to see in NL2 is some new types of coaster from vekoma and updated scenery because lets face, the trees aint that realistic tbh lol

make 3ds ones then?


I love the walk around feature, its awesome.

If we get 4th dimension style coasters, i would like the option to control the spin and an free swing option, could be fun:P

I remember in Flight Simulator, you could set for certain mechanical failures to occur during flight. I was thinking that a similar principal could be applied to NoLimits 2. See what happens if, say, a brake fails, a ride operator presses a button they shouldn't, etc. It would also be interesting to be able to design safety measures to be able to prevent a catastrophe in these types of situations. It would add a whole new level of realism to coaster designing. Also, destruction of the trains in disastrous events could come out of this. When testing an unfinished track, the train would fly off the end and hit the ground, shattering into millions of pieces. And it wouldn't look like crap, like in RCT3.

More dynamic statistics on display at the top of the screen would be nice. Currently, you have speed, forces, and framerate, and I think that's all. Height, distance traveled, roll angle, and others could be added.

I think an addition to the support system would be cool. To make for easier station and building making, there should be a kind of 'support' that when connected at four points creates a plane. This could be used to make walls, floors, roofs, and much more.

A more in-depth ride operator mode. I won't go into detail, but something more involved than just dispatching trains.

We already have something like this. Use the Auto Support gennerator and just make Catwalks, you can stretch the catwalks and it will stay a single Plane. As big as you want it. But using 3ds is so much easier.


But your other ideas sound nice like the failures option, defintely sounds nice.

I don't see why people are so set on the whole destroy the trains and boom boom crash thing. That's not the main point of NL. If you wanna just build so you can see things get destroyed then go play RCT or something. You guys are so set on this idea of being able to crash things, it's going to make you over-estimate what you're actually going to find in the final product. In case you have't seen the title load screen it says "Coaster Simulator", not "Destruction of Coasters Simulator".

I would suggest future post probably be something more realistic and probable, not your wildest beyond compare fantasies.

I can see it now if he did add a feature like that. Almost half the exchange nothing but files with trains crashing into each other.

I agree, I just want better Graphics, more actual coaster attributes, new trains and a better way to design supports.

I would love to be able to copy and paste my Miesho supports.

AHHHHHHH I CANT WAIT UNTIL NL2 COMES OUT! its gonna be awesome!
