Experiencing Heavy Lag At Night
How big is the park's file size? Unfortunately, large parks in RCT3 are prone to lag after they reach a certain size, night-time lighting adds to that. Have you run into the same problem with any other similar-sized parks in the past? If you can take a night-time screenshot and post it here that might help get an idea of what you are dealing with... Congrats on 20 years playing!

Water World
"Starting with the summit first and working my way down." I think Wanda had that printed on a t-shirt didn't she? Yep, definitely has the vibes from the old Atlantis theme. It's been a long time but many of these screenshots ring bells of familiarity. Not a carbon copy, but built on that foundation . Very nice!

NVIDIA App no longer recognizes RCT3 for in-game recording
Google gave this answer...not sure if it works or not... When the new NVIDIA app stops recognizing older games like RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 (RCT3), you can bypass the issue by activating Desktop Capture within the overlay settings. This tells the NVIDIA app to record the screen itself rather than trying to detect the game's executable file. How to Enable Desktop Capture Open the NVIDIA app and open the in-game overlay (default is Alt+Z or Alt+C). Click on the Settings cog wheel. Select Video Capture. Look for the Desktop Capture toggle and turn it ON. Start RCT3, wait until it is running, and then use your manual recording hotkey (default Alt+F9) or Instant Replay (default Alt+F10).

I have no idea. JB's guess sound as good s anything I could come up with. I always return from the States with pockets full of change, which does me no good here in Brazil, and then I forget to take it with me the next time I fly north. Paper currency is convertible here...coins aren't. We seldom even use Brazilian coins. Many stores didn't even carry many, so often times you were offered penny candy's as change for small amounts if they run out or they rounded the price down. Now almost anyone with cell phone (which is easy since there's 140 cell phone lines for every 100 people here...), has access to PIX, an instant payment system developed by the Central Bank of Brazil, that unlike VISA or Mastercharge and the like...is free.

Custom Paths - What am I doing wrong?
I've forgotten most of how that even works, but your files certainly look okay from what I remember. Several people are still making CSO for RCT3...you might message C O N S T E L L A T I O N as he is still constructing sets and posting here.

Custom Paths - What am I doing wrong?
Seems silly to even ask you of all people (LOL!) this, but if I remember correctly we used to ask the obvious first - the texture is sized properly to the power of 2? Are the folder's nested correctly without an extra layer? Does the .ovl file folder include the .tex file (I recall spending a couple hours myself trying to figure out that one years ago...)? Usually I think green blob just means the .tex file isn't being accessed properly, usually either something bout the texture itself (size) or placement in the directory, although I think some people had problems with custom textures if they were using an ultra-high resolution or on a Mac. It's been so long since I've used RCT3 that I've forgotten what little I knew back then. Hope you figure it out! Wonderful to see you still adding to the game Mike!

Wanda checking that no one brings illicit drink into that area...she'd have to confiscate it I'm sure... Love the overhead...is that the view from the tower?

Best Planet Coaster Project Winner - ParkCrafters Awards 2026
The one word I'd add to the description of what this award is for is "FUN". This park certainly meets the other objectives easily, and one can meet many of the other objectives, but that element of FUN that sets it above and beyond. Well deserved recognition.
