  1. Hi, I'm Amy Pond and I'm new to OpenRCT2. I have, however, played a lot of rollercoaster tycoon in the past.:* :* :*Amy
  2. Hello guys, I'm going to show you how to use block brakes. I remember I didn't use to know how to use them.[h]1. Why[/h]The main reason to use block brakes is to prevent crashes. The block brakes create sections in your coaster and they only allow 1 coaster per section at a time. For example, when your brakes fail, all brakes will be ignored (also those in your station) except block brakes, they keep working.Apart from that, using sections (and block brakes) allows you to put more cars on your coaster. (1 for each section) More cars = more peeps = smaller waiting times.[h]2. How[/h]You can see the amount of block sections your ride has in the settings tab of your ride.View imageIn this case three:View imageOne as the station itself, one as actual block brakes, placed by me, and one on the top of the hill. (note: if you don't use a lift on the last piece, it won't be seen as a section)This creates the 3 sections like this: View imageBecause we have three block sections, we can have two trains. There has to be 1 remaining 'open' block section otherwise none of the cars can move!Thus, because of this, make sure there is enough place between the block brakes so that 1 car cannot occupy two sections. (if you do this, your cars will not move (which is what happened with the little coaster on the screenshots because section 2 was too small))I hope I helped you with this.Cheers
