To be fair, Triple A games have million pound budgets. This does not. Besides, this is not and never has been a game, it is a simulator primarily designed to accurately simulate roller coasters. Something even No Limits 1 does very well. Graphics quality is obviously a bonus, and it is clear...

I've got to say, your designs are fantastic. I love that windmill structure in the last picture. Makes it feel like it is a proper coaster in construction. Looks wicked too. If you don't mind me asking, what additional tools do you use when you design your coasters.

You need to remember, as you increase a incline, the power needed increases exponentially almost. The main factor that is needed here is torque. Lots of torque is needed to get those heavy cars up a lift hill, minus the power that is needed to actually move the few tonnes of lift hill chain...

Almost definitely they would use 3 phase. 3 phase power is usually preferred for machines, motors and applications that use lots of power. This is a guess, but an educated one at that. Similar machinery operating in factory's use 3 phase, I cannot see a single reason as to why it would be...

Easily half a million pounds a year upwards for electricity costs on a large roller coaster I would have thought would be a realistic figure. Every large coaster at a minimum has a relatively powerful lift hill / launch, multiple compressors, many motors to power transport wheels. Large PLC...

This will never work, even if it was blocked by default. It would be pretty simple to use a proxy of some sort to bypass it if you did not want to ring your ISP. Once a website has been set up, it's no more difficult for a child for example to access a certain porn website through a proxy than...

Just done some digging into a more detail on the hardware for both consoles. Some of this you may know, some you may not, interesting non the less. Being a programmer myself, I found some of this interesting from a developer perspective. Both consoles share a very similar Accelerated Processing...

Scotland is the only country in the world where a Coca Cola product, or sub brand is not the biggest selling soft drink. Thought I would share that with ya ;)

I went to the Towers a few weeks ago. I will not smoke in Q lines where people have no choice but to stand next to my smoke. However, walking around the park, I will and do smoke as much as I like. I do not smoke in front of people or make people breath my smoke. So what is the problem? Seems...

I did not think this deserved it's own topic, but while trawling the internet I found a concept video for Excalibur, that was used before the ride was actually built. Thought some of you might find it interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hmiYXB1M_U# The person that created this video...

Hello all, I signed up a while ago. I have not really posted much. I was a member of Towers times from 2003 onwards, you probably knew me as Doopy Dan, although towards the latter years I never really posted much, just read. Anyway, It seems quite clear that the 'xfactor' (ha, excuse my...

Sorry, I do apologise, I have posted in your topic but not replied to the topic. From what I see, I like your coasters, not totally realistic, but that's the beauty of No Limits, you don't have to if you don't want to. But yea, overall, I like them!

Bit of a late reply, but from the Sketchup 8 Pro t&c's In other words, there is something that exactly says that you cannot use a code that's already being used. Anyway, who's checking, just sayin'

I'm a Railway Engineer. Currently working flat out on Birmingham New street redevelopment, and planning for the HS2.

Re: Future of the Flume If they are not allowed to alter the Flume's lake then there is not a chance we will see a decent water ride put into its place. This is because legislation was passed here in the UK about 5 years ago that pretty much said that all new build water rides must use clean...
