No offense, but a lot of you people are making outrageous wishes. Different G-forces per seat depending on age and weight of a rider? Come on. Not even actual coaster companies do that. 20 new coaster styles?
You do realize it's a team of like five people who have full-time jobs, right? Some of these are counterproductive and unrealistic. I get wanting RMC or an old wooden train style. But also, are we not happy? I'm happy with what we have.

Does anybody here know how to make a modern Intamin tophat, like in Taiga or Nefeskesen? I've been trying to make one for a while, now, and I'm having a bit of trouble.
Shaping of these can be very tricky due to the way that Intamin designs their rides. To my knowledge they still use some form of geometric shaping or influence on most of their rides. Play around with the lateral gs and roll to make the resulting geometric graphs smooth while maintaining the shape you want and you should be in a pretty decent spot.
The HDRI's on HDRI haven that you linked to (i use that site a lot), are they equirectangular or spherical? I might be thinking of the wrong type here, lol.
There are 2 things I want:
I desperately want human riders that react to coaster forces.
I would really also like to see multiple combs for each seat and general comb overhauls.
Riders would be generated on age, size/weight.
Adult 30
Elderly 60
Child 10
Sizes are: Small, medium, large according to standard BMI.
Full customizing train loads. Just to simulate how weight affects train speed
Different riders can handle different levels of G's and such.
Riders would react to the forces experienced in the cars.
Animations detailing weightless conditions, Ejector conditions, High positive G's, faint condition,
injury condition for ride envelopes being too narrow.
This would all be optional just aesthetics.
Give the simulator a more compelling case for others and myself to pick it up and/or revisit it.
The empty trains just...you start something see it go round and it's always this, "meh", feeling afterwards.
As far as the Combs go... Primarily I would really like to see combs for each seat at the front-most of the train.
So for B&M there would be 4 combs, For the dive there'd be however many across.
Why? Because many times it seems people myself included forget that your distance from the heart-line makes a difference when moving left or right.
The 1 comb tells you one story but when you ride it back from the front right most seat you see amazing spikes in g's. Or maybe you didn't really anticipate what that last row of seats really feels being whipped over that airtime hill. An Example would be the difference between the front and back of Diamondback. Front All hard Ejector / Back All weightless.
I'd like to not see the speed comb for the ENTIRE TRACK killing my framerate perhaps just the section I am working on determined by me?
This applies to the other combs as well I'd like to be able to see multiple G-combs at one time too. I don't like FVD but I would like to be able to remember track limits, speed, and relative G's for a multiple point in the train. So maybe at the business end of the track it displays the combs and the last 25 meters.
This would generally make my life and others easier when building that suspended arrow coaster with reasonable swings.

I know it's late, but Mac that RMC looks incredibly well done.
Many thanks. Just filmed a POV today, might try to do a "real" video for this one:)
Use Gyazo, free program, makes self an link and placing it on the web, only u have to copy the link and place it on a website or forum.
Yes correct, its abt 15 min car-drive from my home.
Is anyone having problems with Imgur? I get the Zoinks error when i try to view my uploaded images. Should i use something else?
ECHELON is on the exchange for you all to take a look at!

**PS - obsessed with Periphery by imaginaut... awesome work there!
Thank you! :)
It's actually preset (and I only used it for) equirectangular environments, but since this tool is just a .blend file (by the way also just used in 2.79 for now), but using spherical env maps should just be one more click:
I have attempted to put the RMC lift hill sound affect over a lift hill on some of my coasters I am working on. I have been playing around with the new NL2 on-board music speakers.
^^ That looks absolutely stunning.

^^^ I agree this would be a great feature. Rotating around a selected object would make editing environments so much easier
^ Was this at Vekoma's plant?
Woah. I would so like to visit that beach if it were real. Especially with an high thrill Intamin launch coaster on a beach. Were would this project take place if it were based on a real beach?
^Sounds like a cool event! I'd be down once more details are known
