Can we make dark rides now?

[UniverseCoaster]

I don't actually have the game right now, but I saw the new lighting system. It seems like we could make dark rides using an enclosed space(walls, terrain, roofs.....). Can someone confirm this for me?

You always could make rides dark inside buildings/terrain but it would only be REALLY dark when its night. And its still the same. This will hopefully be changed when the game comes out November [happy]

Alpha3 made tunnels and caves underground completely dark during the day time, so that is a huge improvement. [up]

Yeah, I didn't mention this. There has been a big improvement with lighting overall but it still is not 100% dark when using walls to cover up a roller coaster.

Walls do not have an effect to lighting - apart from the fact that in their shadow it becomes sliiightly darker. What helps is terrain - but unfortunately the terrain walls have to have a certain thickness as well, otherwise you won't notice a huge difference.

just enacased a coaster in 12 meters of terrain. With gamma set to 1 its best i've seen, i get a few light leaks here and there but little cover up with spot lights and all good.

Well, I hope that this is noticed by the devs and I also hope that they work on improvement until release

Oh yes, caves are 100% dark now.

You wont see morning light inside a deep dark cave complex anymore.

It seems that function with the cave could be applied to a special wall piece that could create a dark ride effect. If you enclosed a building with those pieces the inside would have the same look. Maybe?
