I have been playing NL2 for over 2 weeks now and already made some nice coasters. Most of them dispatched right when i pressed play. But there are 2 Black sheep in the flock and they refuse to auto dispatch even not on manual. I can only run them on full manual which is quite irritating because the pannel is in the view of the coaster. I know someone on this site know the answer to my questin so thats why i ask about it. The only clue to why it might happen lays in the control panel itself. If i want to manual dispatch and make the train go fwd out o the station it says waiting for clear block. Does this have annything to do with my problem? Thanks in advance for helping!

Kind Regards
Lewis

Hey guys, im trying to make a backyard roller coaster in FVD++ but i cant find the right friction values to use. the cart is about 80-100 pounds and i put in .275 for the friction value(euro fighter 2 friction value) since its the closest to my train, but it doesnt work correctly and runs for about 5 seconds before running out of speed. can anyone help me find the right values to use please, it would help so much

Try 0.0275 for the friction instead of 0.275 - the default friction values in NL2 and FVD++ are all 0.030 or lower. Hope this helps!

Eurofighters don't use 0.275m/m. They use 0.028m/m.

As for an actual backyard coaster, try 0.05m/m or so.

My apologies, not sure how this works but i wanted to make sure i got a reply cause i dont want my work to go to waste when i have to change fric value
Thank You for your help

I ended up building Coaster at Dorney Park after riding Thunderhawk and being inspired. There are photos and blueprints in line for Thunderhawk.

Coaster was an out-and-back design that ran from 1924-1929. It was modified for the 1930 season as a figure-eight design, which still operates today as Thunderhawk.

For my next recreation, I am leaning toward the original Wildcat at Hersheypark.

I want to use the 3D model of the car I built myself. How do I operate it

Said if you want to Roundup coasters just go ahead now
And if you like to watch on YouTube just go ahead now
And if you counted to 457 just go ahead now
And if you like to watch for hours just go ahead now

Once again, please don't spam this thread.

Thank you ThatFlyerGuy - mkgfasyw, I have mentioned already - we will have updates when we are ready. That time IS NOT NOW. Please be patient - we all have lives with a lot going on. We plan to revisit this project after the New Year. So do not expect another word or update on the matter until 2023. That is all for now. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but spam is not helpful. Thank you.

I am hoping to poster-render top-down views of my rides (Showing the layout in high detail). It seems on the bigger rides there is a "Ceiling" that I cannot go above. Because of this, I cannot capture the whole ride in a render. Any way to raise that height?

On a related note, I know I can reduce the FOV down to a minimum, but is there any way to remove it completely? Even if I am able to raise the 'ceiling', there will still be distortion caused by the FOV

Nope
