Sounds good, I like the sound of the improvement for block borfers as the current way is a pain. The new coaster types soud fun too, like the motorbike coaster and the impuse, now I can try a recreation of tornado at Saakanemmi.

I guess just contact the website. Unlike most games sited, No limits is actually quite good at getting back to you with help for problems you might be having.

[NatDog]

I had no problems, didn't ask for serial number, was smooth.

[willsy]

Yeah got my serial number, They emailed back within the hour. The update is pretty good.

You have to give it to those guys are No-Limits. They are quick to respond to any questions... Good on Ya Guys!! I downloaded the update......My, my, my quite the improvement. Graphics are amazing. And I love the Face-Off coaster. Also the Shuttle mode they have introduced. Still trying to get the hang of it... :confused: Screammachine

Shuttle mode you mean? Im guessing your having trouble getting the train to stop when it backs into the station? Tip have the station segment slightly tilting forward and the brakes not on too hard...you want it to very slightly over shoot the final destination OR be moving at a moderate pace as it comes into the station segment. If its moving too slow back into the station the brakes will stop it infront of where its supposed to stop and harness etc will not open and ride wont recycle.
