OK, so for the flying coaster I would recommend using TheCodeMasters flyers, they (I think) have a fixed rating.

For invert ratings, Use one of the CTRs for inverts that are out there.

For the eurofighter, I don't think there is much choice apart from dasmatze eurofighter or the exact Saw CTR. (I can't remember the author so you'll have to do some digging)

S&S Screaming Swing, you could use Revolutionary Rides one.

cheers

also, if you search for the smiler ctr v2, it includes a generic version

Thanks everyone

Ive been looking but cant find it, but does anyone know where I can find a CS set for river rapids bits, such as the wooden spinning things. Just things for placing in the water and stuff to make it look realistic. I have a CTR rapids but need these extra bits. It would be really helpful. Thanks

search for DRF's Raftingset on customscenerydepot

cheers, Ive found it. I did find it before although the link didn't work, but found the download now

I have a strange bug I'm encountering.

If I try to build a flying (CS and Vanilla) coaster on a very tall bit of land (a plateau at close to max-terrain height), it was "crash" as soon as it leaves the station despite the fact there is no reason why it should. Why is this happening?

It's really annoying as I want to build a B&M Flier that dives off a tall rock and swoops down to the sea below. But this bug is preventing me too.

What's strange was that I was able to build a Eurofighter on almost max heigh land with no problems. I have also built a B&M Inverted coaster on almost max height too. It makes no sense to me.

what do you mean by 'it was "crash" as soon as'?

The game tells me that the coaster Crashed as I "test" the coaster.
If I'm in build mode and "test" the coaster, the blueprint doesn't move either.

I might record what I mean with Fraps.

maybe a screenshot might help

Ok that's strange.
I started up RCT3 to film the bug... and... it didn't happen. Everything was fine...

The only thing different would be:
I closed the game down and opened it up (days later).
I developed the area where I was trying to build.

I have no idea why the bug occured. That glitchiness I've only seen with Tilt-Coasters.

I now have to locate my fraps video and purge it
-
I know what caused the problem. There wasn't enough track for the train to sit in the station. I needed a blank piece of track at the back of the station. ========[][][][][][][][]= I needed the track at the end, otherwise the train can't sit on the track. Because the back of the train isn't on track, the game assumed a crash has occurred.

I dont understand how that happened as the game automatically shrinks the train to fit the station or doesnt allow you to test/open the ride and says station isnt long enough.

Perhaps it wasn't configured properly for the particular ride type; a Flier.
But literally, the train should have sat happily with the track configuration. It just I suppose the model for the cars were longer than they appeared, like they had a few extra pixels of invisibleness. And then the game didn't bother accommodating the too-long train.

So, just out of curiosity...

Has RCT3 declined in popularity or is it just park threads? Are people still playing it? I know the park threads have died out and my interest in the game died out however it has been recently picked back up - leading me to reinstall the game and build new parks again. I just wished Id saved my old ones.

I did play it a lot... Then got bored of it... Then started to make CS again, but never finished... Then got bored again... :
Personally, I think that there are better (maybe not released yet) theme park games available, such as NoLimits and Parkitect, RCT is a bit same old same old now

Thats true. I got Theme Park Studio but didnt like it. I think its because Im looking forward to RCTW that RCT3 is seeming good again.

Yeah, I'd prefer something like theme park studio, but more no-limitsy.

Back on topic, is there a way to modify a coaster type's settings? So I could modify, say an extended coaster, to have vertical chains? Thanks

does anyone know if rct3 works with windows 10?

Yeah, I have it installed
