Is there a way to run this ina window or at native res as im running it on a 24" TFT so 1280x1024 looks a bit wierd stretched to fit

I'm not sure if this is the same but in Nvidia Control panel, under Change Flat Panel Scaling, if you set it to Do Not scale it should run at the required resolution but in the middle of the screen, and you'll have black around the edges...

Usually a ride exit isnt connected to the rest of the path network and they get tired being cramped and "I wanna go home"

Happened to me, had to search for the path!

^ hah thanks , i used the remove scenery/rides option and there it was a broken pathway. I joined it up and 300 guests walked from the ride to the exit

Lol

Sorry bit of a newbie here... :eek:

Does anyone have some tips with regards to pricing? In particular on stalls?

I lowered the defaults a little (so making £0.40-£0.50 profit per item), but no one is buying drinks, chips, candyfloss etc. I literally have 0 customers at all my stalls! :rolleyes:

Thanks

What is better, RCT1 or 2?

Have only played 1 ages ago.

TwoSaints · 25 Mar 2009 at 19:57

Just been playing rct2 just now, it's lots of fun and has miles more rides/stalls than in 1

If you hold down shift whilst you've got a station/shop/ride etc selected you can then choose what height to build it at. Very useful command.

I must be doing something wrong. I've made a little area for shops, lowered prices and put down flowers, benches etc. but no one is buying... :mad:

just wait a little longer, things should start picking up

snowdog · 25 Mar 2009 at 23:34

Also, don't forget to spam benches and litter bins around shops. Especially the bins.

4p · 25 Mar 2009 at 23:49

Yea bins and benches are a must near shops. You only have 250 guests so its VERY early yet the guests will get hungry quite soon

Pricing can stay the same, even go higher if your guests are happy. A little tip:

If your rollercoaster excitement is say.. 7. You can put the entrance fee to 6.5/7

Leodido · 26 Mar 2009 at 06:50

you have to wait longer, at the start people are not hungry or thristy don't know why go figure! But at some point it will start selling stuff.

utajoker · 26 Mar 2009 at 08:19

have you made sure you set the shops to open as they start off closed.

Yes they are set to open. Maybe I'm just being impatient!

The strange thing is, guests are going right up to the shop then walking off.

Things too expensive maybe? They don't look that expensive but maybe you have cheap skates in your park.
