Need help with dragons cove

[lisanne]

Hi everyone, 

I'm playing rollercoaster tycoon classic on my phone and keep getting stuck at the excitement rating being too low. 

I see max. Lateral G. Is written red. Ofcourse I tried finding tips online but so far it still didn't work. I read about lateral G. But I still have no clue what it litteraly means. Can someone explain it in a very easy way? English is not my language, I speak it but those terms I've never heard of.

Thanks in advance!

[BEplayer]

This could help you. 

 

[BEplayer]

If you still need help, just write me which language I should speak (I will use the internet)

[Gymnasiast]

Can you upload your save, or upload a screenshot that clearly shows the whole coaster? We cannot say anything about your coaster if we cannot see it.

I can help you in Dutch or German if needed. Otherwise, we can try to explain it in very simple terms.

@BEplayer It’s a nice offer, but online translators are generally not very good for this kind of thing, especially when trying to translate English into smaller languages.

[lisanne]

Hi! Thanks for the friendly messages!

Mostly I don't have problems understanding English, it's just those specific terms. What does the G. stand for for example?

The YouTube video is a good idea, I will watch it soon. I'll also post a screenshot of the rollercoasters.

I speak Dutch so if you're Dutch that would be handy😁

De ‘G’ staat voor ‘G-kracht’. Positieve G-krachten duwen je in je achtbaanstoelje, terwijl je bij negatieve G-krachten juist omhoog komt. Als je door een looping gaat voel je dat bijvoorbeeld goed. Zijwaartste G-krachten (in het Engels ‘Lateral G forces’) duwen je opzij. Als je te hard door een bocht gaat kun je dat goed voelen. In je screenshot staan ze in het rood, dus die zijn hier het probleem.

Waarschijnlijk gaat jouw achtbaan ergens te hard door een bocht, of heb je vergeten een bocht schuin te leggen. Dat is meestal de oorzaak van overmatige zijwaartse G-krachten. Als je je screenshot plaatst kan ik daar meer over zeggen.

[lisanne]

Dankje! Ook G-kracht zegt me niets in het Nederlands dus waarschijnlijk lag het niet eens aan de taal😅

De bochten schuin leggen had ik inderdaad begrepen, dit heb ik aangepast en werkte bij 1 van de achtbanen heel goed. Te hard door een bocht ga ik nog even checken en nog puzzelen met de andere tips. Ik zal dan ook screenshots plaatsen als ik er niet uit kom.

Bedankt voor je reactie weer!

[BEplayer]

So I assume that you now know everything? I am not able to understand the last two messages because my dutch isn't to good, I am only able to know that "Dankje" means Thanks because it's "Danke" in german

Greetings from the Baltic Sea!

[lisanne]

yes, sorry, I should have gone back to English.

I said that also in Dutch I have no clue what those 'G-powers' mean. So the problem wasn't even the language appearantly. But he/she said that it might be that the rollercoaster goes too fast in corners so that's also something that I'm gonna check. So it's still not solved but as soon as I have time I'm gonna try all the suggestions here. If I still can't make it I'll send screenshots

Funny, I'm watching this now and I'm thinking the speaker is Dutch. Coincidence 

[lisanne]

I tried but I really don't make it. 2 rollercoasters are good, the other 3 no. 

I really don't enjoy building rollercoasters so if there is a cheat to skip this park please let me know 😅

I add screenshots here. Unfortunately I can't make them more clear but you might see some mistakes already like this

You just need practise. When you know the basics, it get's more fun, I can confidently say this. 

[lisanne]

Still hoping for that moment.. It's so frustrating spending the whole evening for 1 rollercoaster and then it's still not good

[BEplayer]

I want to give you some tips for future coasters (to get the intensity right):

1) Bank every Element! Its a good tip to bank every element that you are able to! If you are not able to bank the curve, add brakes to reduce the speed of the train. 

2) Element sequencing! Sequence the elements in the right way! Put the biggest elements first, put the smallest later in your layout. For example: Chainlift, Drop, Big Loop, big hills (Coaster Enthusiast often say Airtime Hill), Brakes higher off the ground, small drop, corkshrew, final brakes)

Marcel Vos is Dutch.

As for lateral G, banking turns and slower speeds are two ways to do it. As Marcel has said in his videos.

As BE said, it takes time and practice, I don't play on mobile devices, so I don't know if there are cheats or not.

I also try to use the widest turns I can in many places.

Examples to explain G forces:

Lateral Gs: This is the physical force that pushes your body to the side in turns. There is a coaster type called wild mouse, which offers some unbanked turns. These push you from side to side. 

Vertical Gs: These can be positive or negative. Positive vert. Gs press you into your seat, negatives lift you out of your seat. When coaster fans talk about "airtime" they mean this sensation.

You can also watch this really easy to understand video:

I think it's important to know how real life coasters work to design functional coasters in rct, so that's why I explained this.

[lisanne]

I just started over and build it again.ade the most boring coaster ever but its almost good! Any feedback? Everytime I adapt it it gets worse

[BEplayer]

I can't see the whole ride with your screenshots, but I like that the coaster hugs the terrain really well. 

 One thing you don't need to do is to add a chainlift on the secound hill that leads into the tunnel. The train would make it over without it, and you would save some maintenance money. 

[lisanne]

This is the part under the ground. Difficult to make a clear picture. The chainlift I removed partly, one part I had to leave because the train didn't make it otherwise. Unfotunately it doesn't change anything in the excitement rating

[BEplayer]

Yeah, looks pretty good! Nice coaster!

[BEplayer]

If you want even better stats, this video may be helpful. It's also from Marcel Vos, he makes some amazing content. I learned all my basic knowledge from him.

Thanks for all your support so far! Unfortunately I tried everything but I'm just not able to fix the coasters. I'm searching now for cheats to skip a park. If anyone has screenshots of their rollercoasters of dragons cove and wanting to share it that would be nice. I'm gonna try to copy them perfectly

[BEplayer]

There is a cheat in the cheat menu to win the scenario. Not saying you should use this cheat, but in the end that's your decision. 

You can find this cheat under the cheat options, and there under park cheats. If you don't have the cheat menu, activate it in your settings.

I don't have this scenario, it's not included in the rct2 base game I guess. If you can send me the map to download it, I can quickly build the coasters!

Just attach the file to your post: 

1. Click on the "Drag files here to attach, or choose files" button
2. Go in the open rct2 folder (for most people this folder is under documents)
3. Click on "save"
4. Select your park
