NoLimits 2 Wish List
NoLimits Coaster

Once again, hate to be that one guy that just has to double post but I've had an interesting convo with BestDani and RobbingBob about scripting - it's remarkably hard to add a delay to dispatch, i.e. sending trains out of stations seconds after the dispatch button has been pressed. I'd love that kind of functionality!

No, look at the station roof detail. And the 2 coasters are different from make of year. 2006 and 2016.

it's the same coaster relocated within the park. the first one closed in 2016 and the second one opened in 2017. it's the same model and layout. this is just the (stupid) way that rcdb deals with relocations in the same park. idk why it doesn't say that it's been relocated but that's just rcdb being rcdb i guess

When u look at the color of the supports, your choice has WHITE color support and the guess coaster has GREEN supports same as in my answer.

Place your downloaded *PKG file into the main directory of your NL2 program. Open NL2, go to EDITOR, click on EXTRACT PACKAGE (See image below)

If your package if fully extracted with no errors, save the game in a directory (with in the main directory of NL2) of your choice.

Yep, that's the one! Sorry about the confusion there, the "Funnel Bank" name comes from American Thunder's marketing:

I see Fan Curve there but no Funnel Bank? Am I missing it? lol
The element they're calling a Fan Curve for AT seems to be the reverse of what Thunderhead has, where the airtime pop portion is on the way out of the element instead of at the beginning. I've operated AT as well, and so have ridden it quite a lot, and I can't seem to remember that moment being quite as impactful as the one on Thunderhead. Maybe just a product of it being at the end of the element.

And about the heartline, Amalia's GCI Bible recommends using 0.85m for GCIs.

Oh yeah, forgot about that one. Tornado was a really nice GCI, and I'm eager to see what they say about track shaping in the post.
Do we have a source for the heartline value by chance? 0.85m seems pretty good to me, but would love to know exactly what the value is. I would imagine it to be a more round number with Imperial units as well given they're based in Pennsylvania; probably some 0.854938781..... meters, or so. hehe

It's very intriguing and helpful to see an experienced FVD/NL2 user's take on this element - makes quite a bit more sense to me now. The main part that's stumped me was dealing with the yaw, and ensuring that there wasn't any laterals and airtime happening at the same time within the rise or drop.

Exactly. The Yaw seems to pause for just that moment that the Pitch is changing direction with the Roll occurring just as the Pitch changes. Lining all of this up at the right upward angle with the right speed is super fickle. My version could have more of a "pop" in this spot, but a better heartline value may help that happen more easily as it would swing out the track a bit further through the rotation. So much is going on in just that part of the element, and really attests to the creative design of GCI.
