Finally, I proudly present the onride video of Mt. Wahnsinn, my B&M Hypercoaster, after way more time than it should have taken to build this, but at least I got some experience from it 
I hope you all enjoy and please give me some feedback!

Forest is done. Finally...





If you're interested, here is the topic.

Is that Rudi's elephant? Or did you make one yourself based on his?
I must say your use of billboards in this area is pretty good 


Also: Everything you add to your boat set is amazing, Bullethead! Although it might not have taken as long as the other parts of the set, these boats look very good and realistic!

Looks pretty good to me.  If you think it's boring, I suggest installing a roof deck or at least some battens on the undersides of the sloped roof tiles.  This would make the interior much more realistic, plus would making the view inside more interesting.

Yeah I had already been thinking about that, but I just couldn't think of anything to do with it as I still don't know where to find a lot of the pieces. Thanks for the help!

Nice compact coaster. I love it how the lifthill goes through the looping!

I placed trees. Lots and lots of trees. Even with the copy paste tool we have it's a pretty boring task, but I hope it'll work eventually.

Sorry, no story this time lol

NO WAY.  [size=78%] That building IS art deco. I love art deco so much and I love this building as much as I love the style, because this building IS art deco! imo you have won again, but you have some very tough competition![/size]


I also really like the simplicity of CoasterPaul and Zap's entry. It is probably more belivable than SPR and Adfo's entry to be in a theme park, but I love both entries.


Anyway I don't think I'm going to finish a lot of the challenges because I have quite a lot of other hobbies and I already have another PC project I really want to finish, but it's fun to watch these entries anyway.

Just started making a new song. One of the hardest things is to come up with your own style and making it stand out and not sound like another Chainsmokers copy. That's why I love blending all kinds of different stuff together to make something new.


If you're interested, here's my latest (released) remix:

(I have a lot of different projects but only a few get released because the other ones either suck or I have a lack of inspiration)

   Those umbrellas!!! And those chairs!!! 

zyned it looks so cool with those billboards integrated! Can't wait for a video of the show! Let's hope your pc doesn't die while making it.

Ok here's my try...





As you can see, the reopening of the boomerang coaster drew quite a big crowd. It has been renamed to Backfire and the supports recoloured to a nicer looking white. (btw sorry for my terrible photoshop skills on the logo  )





The coaster station also got redesigned and the whole coaster got a new theme. (I tried to go for an Australian Colonial theme because boomerang is an aboriginal word... but it's very hard to tell the difference between Australian and American colonial themes)








The reopening of the coaster was also a good opportunity to show off the new lighting they gave the coaster because guests had been complaining about the visibility at night for quite a while.








And last, an overview picture of all of the changes to the coaster.

Looks like you have a very good chance of winning again, mineraljunction! But the competition is tough! I can't imagine how hard it must be to judge all these awesome entries! 

Looks interesting, although we can't really see a lot yet. I really dig your style with the photo editing. Makes it look very professional.
(btw are those Efteling lamp posts? Is that a blueprint or did you make them yourself?)

Oh my, that arcade! It looks like it comes straight from Tron. The lighting and all the scenery is so good.
Also, I really love that last picture. It just makes it look like a really realistic park.

i never watch the Frontier Streams, i dont know but alwayse when i watch the streams for me it looks childish, so much bla bla and not really showing the new stuff, or just kiddie style (sry that iam that harsh) i watched the first streams back in the days (haha) but after that i quit watching them..

Well you must realise that they want to attract as big of an audience as possible, not only SGW coaster nerds 
I am sure there are many people out there who just build the most ridiculous rides with as much fire and fireworks around it as possible and that's also what makes this game so great, you can choose how you want to play it. You don't have to follow the rules and go 100% realistic, but if you want to, you can do that as well.

With their streams I think they try to please as many people as possible, but of course you can't always please everybody. I think it's already quite special that they stream like this and have such a connection with the community. I've honestly never experienced a connection like this between devs of a game and the community. Many publishers and developers (I'm looking at you, Paradox) could learn something from the way frontier interacts with their audience and listens to what they want.

Woohoo curved screen!

Yes it works perfectly, and yes it's as nasty as it sounds. Sorry for the dull and crooky border, tho.


It's really easy to make: Copy, paste, rotate, pull (with related axis), repeat.

That's such a neat idea! I'm sure I'll make some Imax theatres using that technique eventually. The only problem is that the guests don't see billboards as an attraction, so nobody would come into a building just to watch a screen, but I'm sure I'll figure something out.


Also, do you think it would be possible to make 180 or 360 degrees screens like in the Simpsons ride at Universal? Or would you have to split the video up into multiple different videos and use that technique multiple times? I haven't really tried too much yet with the screens because I'm very busy learning for tests at the moment.

One thing I just noticed while playing around with the billboard flags is that you have to be very careful with videos! They may crash your game. I had 4 flags with a video of a waving flag on them (which looks quite good I think) but my fps dropped from 60 to 1 whenever I wanted to look at them. So don't make your videos very high resolution or very long!

Edit: Only happens if you use multiple different videos. Not if you use the same video on all flags.

Didn't RCT3 also have an issue with not playing some mp3 files? Haven't played it in a really long time but I think I recall something like that. And I have no answer for your question unfortunately. Haven't tried out custom SFX yet as I've only worked on one and a half project since I got the game
