The heartline is not part of the track. It's an imaginary line, basically the path the riders' hearts take on the ride. You have to keep in mind that the riders are above the track (typically). Thus, when the track rolls to the right, the riders' heads are moving much more to the right.

The trick is to roll the track so the riders heart stays in the same place and they pivot around their hearts. This minimizes the lateral forces which cause headbanging.

Arrow did not design their rides around the heartline. B&M and Intamin do. However, you'll still get strong lateral forces when you have a very quick change in direction; i.e., some of the curves on Maverick.

Where's the tutorial for track making within the game? I recently purchased the full version(1.7) & still cannot for the life of me figure out how to do even a simple track design.

I've also heard on other forums about the elementary & purg programs that can be downloaded for the game bust so far havn't been able to find a link to either one so would anyone have any infor on that?

Ahh thanks AV.I havn't been messing around with the game lately because my computer has been acting up ever since I upgraded to DSL a couple of months ago.

What's up with the textures for the trains,most notably the inverted? The wheel covers seem to only have the flight deck(CGA)/Afterburn graphics instead of a more basic color scheme(even re-creations like Montu) & how do you change those textures?

The textures are in the "cartextures" folder/directory. There are lots of forums better suited toward the nitty gritty of NoLimits like custom textures. I don't mess with that stuff. I just build models with what the program provides. It is good enough for my needs. :)

I looked in the help menu of the editor recently but didn't find any sort of tutorial there so perhaps instead of running the editor & clicking on help should I look through the directory via the desktop or my computer menu's to find it?

In the Mac version (and I thought it was the same in the Windows version, but I haven't used it in over a year), you go to the Help menu and click on NoLimits Editor Help. It takes you to a "local" webpage (a document on your hard drive). It is located in the Help folder in the NL application folder.

It took me an extremely long time 2 find out how 2 work the program. On the first day, I was frustrated just like u r. Stick with it though, its awesome wat u can do once u get the hang of it. U just can't into this program thinking it will be like rct. this is more of a mechanical drawing software than a theme park simulator game.

CLEAR! *ZAP* Welcome back, thread, you've been dead for a long time.
