Sidders Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Was genuinely wondering when you'd finish that NoLimits, Adam I like the first half (that corkscrew is taken at some serious speed!), but it gets quite jerky towards the end; in-joke about Intamin's roughness?

AdamY Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yeah tbh I think it's because I did build it very much in two halves. I'm pretty proud of how the first Immelmann / corkscrew / Immelmann / airtime hill turned out though, just the transition out of the second air hill that I could improve I think. But I'm quite happy for a first serious ride because Newton2 is very hard to learn! I've crossed a barrier in actually finishing something, so onwards and upwards I shall go! Edit - spent the day building a B&M Hyper. It's lush! Perfectly smooth throughout as well, despite seeming a more daunting prospect it was actually easier and more logical to shape and build. After I've spent a few aeons supporting, I'll post a video. Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke_A Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 So, NoLimits 2 is in the pipeline as many may know, and updates have been far and few between. The developers have recently released an update on the progress of the next generation NoLimits 2 simulator. In this update we see a video of the Dive Coaster splashdowns, addition of new track design tools, more work on the rendering of aged/worn track, the addition of the B&M flying coaster, improved shadows on objects, addition of B&M switch tracks and finally the addition of the S&S/Arrow 4D coaster. This looks very Newton 2 inspired... Kumba with aged track. All-round graphic improvements such as support bolt details too. B&M Flying Coaster, Tatsu? B&M switch track. S&S 4D Coaster. All images and info sourced from the official NoLimits sim website: http://www.nolimitscoaster.de/index.php?page=news And finally a quote from the developers, it seems NL2 won't be coming soon, but I'm sure it will be worth all the waiting. It's good to see this progress! What you see on the screenshots above: Radius comb in editor before and after hand smoothing, catwalks and rusty track, improved shadows for objects close to viewer, switch tracks for dual stations, 4D track.The radius comb is a very powerful tool for hand smoothing out a track, the blue points control the track spline and the green discs are roll points that control the banking. Both points are completely independent from each other and allow very flexible editing. The new catwalks can be added to every piece of track. In NL1, they were limited to brakes, lift and transport sections. The improved shadows are more blurry and look more realistic. The special switch tracks were added to make dual stations, they can also be used for other applications such as storage tracks. The 4D track is quite detailed, please notice that the position of the extra rails that control the 4D rotation will vary along the track depending on the 4D rotation angle. And last but not least: It is done when it is done, it is that simple. There is not much left to do, I am working on the station building right now. I need to transfer a couple of older coaster styles to NL2 yet, and there is some small stuff to be done like creating the manual etc. Since this will be a completely new software product that has not much in common with NL1, basically everything is different, it will not be a simple update. Releasing the product requires more planning, so I cannot give you a release date at this point, even if it would be done right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Didn't really know if this was best for this topic or the RCT3 one, because it could be a bit of both... Released next this year apparently! Don't know all the details but it looks interesting, hopefully it manages to get somewhere near NoLimits-level coaster design (or at least it looks a lot more thorough than RCT) mixed with RCT and well, running the actual park.

TPJames Posted January 1, 2013 Report Share Posted January 1, 2013 Well that would be fun, with the realistic-ness of no limits and rct3 mixed together so you can manage a park! I love rct3 and I don't play no limits due to the fact that you make a coaster and don't particularly do anything with it! No one rides it except yourself and that just made me feel that it was a bit boring. That's why I play rct3 Also one thing, can you build flat rides in this new game because it made it all part of the fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 It does seem to be a lot to pay for (on the surface) two new coaster styles, transfer tracks, and enhanced graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 There are more than two new Coaster Styles! B&M Flyer S&S 4D coaster Intamin Launch Coaster B&M Dive Coaster I know thats's only 4 but they havent actually released 'specific' new coaster types. Which I'm sure there will be more than 4, at least. Baring in mind you also have a lot better features including as you say graphics, transfer track, tunnnels that actually go underground, new station buildings to give a more realistic feel, new catwalk system to actually work with the design rather than the crap it was in version 1. Complete new support system meaning the supports actually work when using the premade selection. Considering its a lot of money its a vast improvement: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshC. Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 $45 is just under £30 I believe? In terms of games, that's more than reasonable. For a simulator, it's very much high end, but NL2 is a high quality simulator. The price is perfectly justified in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Depends if that's the actual charge for it though in pounds though... Certainly looks high end, wonder what it looks like on a typical laptop/desktop without all the high grade stuff on it? Always the issue with PC games (both exclusive and multi-platform) these days is that all the imagery is taken off this wonderful expensive things that few people actually own... What they NEED to have on NL, is a simplified introduction and simple mode if you will, where it does a lot of the nitty gritty for you when designing on it (banking/supports/etc)... It's what never got me into the thing fully in the first place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
