No Limits 2

NoLimits 2 is a roller coaster simulation where you can ride included coasters or design and build your own. Its editor uses a CAD-style wire-frame display, with drag-and-drop tools for track, support structures and other objects. You can adjust the perspective and zoom while designing, with physics as the stated limit on your designs.

Design coasters

The editor includes 40 coaster styles, including 4D, Spinning, Wooden, Wing, Flying, Inverted and Suspended designs. You can build shuttle coasters, add switches and transfer tracks, choose different rail types and wear levels, and run trains backwards. Track tools include custom spline positions, block sections, brake controls, complex support structures, a Formula track element language and a force-vector track element designer.

You can place more than one train on a coaster and more than one coaster in a park. The simulation also supports dual stations and duelling coasters with synchronized stations. An integrated park editor, advanced terrain engine and scenery objects—including animated flat rides and trees—let you shape the surrounding park.

Ride and view

The simulation follows a train from its climb up the first slope to its stop at the exit platform, with roller coaster physics and sounds including rushing wind and metal-on-metal track noise. You can choose your seat, car, train and coaster, and change your viewpoint. Camera options include onboard, free, target and fly-by views, as well as a walk mode with collision detection; mouse movement simulates head movement.

Brakes, wheels, lifts, harnesses and gates animate in real time. Water-splash effects are available for coasters with water scoops, such as dive coasters and staggered hyper coasters.

Parks and environments

NoLimits 2 includes parks and demo environments, with settings such as high mountains and flat backgrounds. An environment editor lets you change the skybox and background. The game also features a dynamic sky with a day-night cycle, weather, fog, volumetric light, reflections, real-time shadows, lens flare and depth of field.

Audio uses 3D surround sound, with environmental effects such as reverb in tunnels. You can create animated light textures with the integrated light-pattern tool, and use the scripting language and included demo scripts and objects. Custom scene objects can be imported from DAE, 3DS and LWO files. Parks can be exported as package files, and the game includes high-quality video export with frame timing.
