I would say that it's quite difficult to give just general advice. The possibilities that this simulator offers are nearly limitless.
The better understanding you have of real life roller coasters and attractions, the better time you'll have with the software. Understanding the basics of roller coaster design such as what block zones are and why you would use them, the differences between drive tires, linear induction motors (LSMs), and chain lifts, how different types of brakes work, and much more that would make this list very long, are some of the foundational concepts that would be good to have starting out. This forum is pretty well catered to those enthusiasts already with this knowledge, so a lot of information here assumes this. We've got lots of enthusiasts and some industry professionals, so there's is a wealth of knowledge to pour through and receive. Try not to drink from the fire hydrant. ;)
The Mega Resources Thread linked for you is a great read and has lots of tools you probably won't use for a long time, but you should familiarize yourself with what is available so that you know where to reach out when you need something.

Welcome to the community.
Good luck with your designs!

I'm using the Logic Builder now, I've gotten my first track switch to work, but now the train just stops dead at the next brake/lift block. Any suggestions?

Hi Milowo,

If u make an addition to this topic, thats fine. But make sure is usefull or think twice before u place this kind of nonsense.

Thank you - we will post updates when we have them. The Planet Coaster version is still being wrapped up and everyone on the team has a lot going on in their lives - we hope to be back in the near future but there's no rushing these things.

Just know we have every intention to bring the Planet Coaster version into Nolimits with the limo train running on the track. A good lot of the scenery is done thanks to the Planet Coaster version so that will hopefully speed things along for us on the Nolimits version, but there's still a lot of work to be done to cleanup the track profiling among other things.

Stay tuned - we haven't forgotten about this - life just gets a little hectic sometimes but this ride means so much to all of us that we'll make sure to get something out to the world in due time.

Thanks for the enthusiasm, patience, and understanding everyone.

Stay tuned.

Just got a standard copy of NoLimits2 a last night, and it's a lot different to the other programs and games I've used in regards to creating and riding rollercoasters. I did some scrolling and couldn't find another thread on this, so I'm curious to hear what tips and advice more seasoned players have that might not be readily available in basic YouTube tutorials of the program.

Is it possible to have a curved video screen in NL2 ? size adjustable ?

I like the barrel roll uplifts on coasters like Chorm Staser and Stedusa Ceel Moaster

Thank you RK Rides! (And PePpOo of course!) That worked a treat. It also got me to grips with handling elements, which is something I'd not investigated before. I'm now wondering what other ingenious little ultilities people have written over the years! Anyway, big thanks again.

I started learning NoLimits 2 but setting up the POV for the train is annoying, sometimes I'm too high or too low or wherever I am. Is there any way to make sure that this process is always exactly in the middle and across rides?

1. Select all vertices of your coaster.
2. Go to 'Element' tab.
3. Hit 'Save Track Element' and hit 'ok'.
4. Save as 'Original.nl2elem' in the same directory where 'nl2elem_inverse.jar' is located.
5. Execute 'nl2elem_inverse.jar'.
6. Hit 'Add Element' in NoLimits, select 'inverse.nl2elem'. In the next window uncheck all checkboxes then hit 'ok'.

Thank you (I think!) I must admit, my first reaction was a huge GULP! I've never done any of those actions before, but I thought, nope - be brave man and give it a go! I stumbled at the first hurdle though : "save track as an element". I wondered if you meant copy "ABC.nl2park" as "ABC.nl2elem", (which is certainly within my limited capabilities), but would that not be saving a whole park rather than the track? The only time I've seen "elements" mentioned is in a small menu box showing rolls and loops, and Lord knows what library they reside in anyway! :(
