Impressions of PC2, now that I've started playing it...
I know! LOL! But I was so wound up in stuff made with PC1 that I never seemed to have time to do more than open it once in a while and see what new things they added. Trurhfull it's the same with Planet Zoo...have it and all the DLC's...but never play it. By the time I do PZ2 will be out...

Impressions of PC2, now that I've started playing it...
After finishing up projects on PC1, I've now started using PC2. And admittedly I feel lost. LOL! I've actually been searching for beginner videos from when the game first came out trying to figure out how things work, since they are often so different than PC1, and we know how well Frontier does in instructional media. If anyone knows tutorials that helped them in the beginning, feel free to suggest them! I do like the fact that the game looks crisper, and load's quickly (although THAT will surely change because of the type of parks I like to build...). It IS sometimes frustrating the lack of themes and pieces and things we used to have just aren't there. I know we know have the ability to use what we do have differently then before, so that goes back to learning how things work. Thankfully many things can be scaled, because once again Frontier seems to have no real standard when it comes to scales. Some objects in the game I really like...others seem a step down from what we had in the first game, and some textures are just plain BAD. There's a lot of cool things people have been able to do in this game, hopefully I'll have the patience required to get to that point!

I heard that they often recycle used phones to recuperate all the things used to make them, so I'll take a guess and say C: More than half

One detail on the Laserium building I appreciate is how the blue bands are just slightly off-set from the main white walls...that adds a lot of depth not found when the two wall pieces line up perfectly. I don't know if that was by plan or just how the pieces are in-game, but I noticed it right away, same with the rectangular pieces in the signs which I know are in-set into the white. Maybe it's just the shadows, but it's little things like that that add a lot visually. There should be a Depeche Mode poster in there somewhere! If this show was "Back to the 70's" I'd recommend just filling the theater with pungent smoke as I mostly recall rooms and even car interiors that way quite often...what I can remember from back then anyways...

Completely a uneducated guess...D: 1970s Only because I don't recall seeing any pagodas on those containers before then, although granted we seldom had take-out Chinese before then either...

Not sure on the Industrial set...I know Vodin, Weber, coasterfreak, MGP, Themepark Master, StationJim Jr and FallingDown all had similar sets, and I know there were many others I've long forgotten.

He no doubt remembers when police didn't have cars either...

I think the vaulted ceilings you mentioned were by The_Cook. For the Crystal's...not positive, but those might have been the one's done by JimmyG? Both those set's are available to download here.

To the oldest member here ever...Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday to citytrader! I won't mention his age because most of us can't fathom numbers with that many digits, but suffice it to say he can speak with firsthand knowledge most of what was outlined in our high school history texts, and he's been around the community for years...decades actually. Thus why this special post about his birthday...ain't no one else here that even comes close! Truthfully I give Rich a hard time about his age, which isn't really fair... But he'd forget just how dang old he is if I didn't constantly remind him. So make sure your homeowners insurance is paid before they light all them candles...and have the fire department standing by just in case... Happy Birthday!

That's not logical...

What's this 'logic' you speak of? I'm not familiar with that... As for citytrader's question...I always picture 'local kids racing' was more something of the 1950's at the earliest, as most kids didn't have cars until then, and I think races came before that. I certainly think businessmen saw that they could make a bundle off of people, but AFTER the racing had started already, so that leaves just B; Bootleggers boasting over how they can outrun cops racing each other which sounds as good an answer as any other.

Crazy to see so many of you still around!
Any wine as old as citytrader has long turned to vinegar... Actually it's more like we managed to show up before they knew we were here and could bar the doors to the place...or was that just with me? In my defense I heard there was an all-you-can-eat buffet opening up at this site...still waiting...

On the menu on the left side of the site, look for 'Downloads', then click on "RCT3" and you can do a search for "Fisherman" or "Wagi", and it should then show the sets Fisherman did as well as the one's I did for that ride. Most of the Custom RCT3 items shyguy had hosted were moved over to this site a while back, so you might find a bunch of goodies there.

Some of us were geezers even back then... Great to see you!

Those 'history classes' I think were actually referred to as 'Current Events Class'... 😁 I agree with citytrader's logic on this one, so while I don't really know, his answer seems plausible...A: To hide the discolorations on the shells

Wonder World
It's NOT n 'obsession' at all, it's my job as President of the Wanda Wonder Fan Club to ask probing questions...much like Wanda questions probing with her dates (on the rare occasions those occur and one or both don't pass out before any preliminaries even take place...). And let's be honest here...you don't remember what you had for lunch yesterday so that's pretty much your blanket 'defense' for everything. I'm trying to think of famous musical artists from the 80's or 90's that aren't dead or already booked solid with dates at Senior Living Facilities...

Salland's Adventure World - Planet Coaster 2
I love the 'kink' you've added rather than just a plain rectangular building. Again, taking it up a notch from the usual.

Where's Wanda's pole??? She can't dance without a pole! Or does she confine her artistic dance interpretations to just the zoo, where the chimps are her biggest fans no doubt? That theater is gorgeous...although I hope those with weak bladders don't decide to sit in the middle seats of the back row and need to get up every 15 minutes...as does everyone else in that row. And it's not the number of seats that matters, it's how you use them, or so they say...
