Food Court - First Efforts of a Noob

[AH_ImADot]

So far, I've had the game for almost a week. I've never played any of the other Roller Coaster games (mostly I'm a WW2 fighter pilot in Aces High and a space explorer in Elite Dangerous).

After playing around with the Alpha for a few days to get the hang of it, I'm starting a new park and think I'll stick with it and see where it goes. I'm thinking of putting a couple of these throughout the park, and have some individual food stands peppered around for "ease of access". [happy]

Looks good man.

But I'm mostly shocked to hear people still play aces high. Played that game back in 06 or maybe earlier than that. Great fun

A couple more shots...

Food court alive with people.


I made a small castle building around the ticket stand. I think I'll re-use it for all the "family" rides in the family section of the park:

The front

The back

Added a small coaster to this family-friendly park. Started experimenting with track lighting to highlight the hill.

Nice. Really decent for a first attempt. Not too garish, looks like a real food court.

 

[LeglessBloke]

Looking great, love the lighting both on the paths and on the coaster! The ticket stand castle is fantastic [big grin].

 

[Guy_With_A_Stick]

Looks nice! The lighting looks really nice. I do think it needs a few more shops and a main seating area, however. Other than that, keep it up!

I wish I could add a seating area to my park too.. if only we had tables and chairs [squeeeeee] lol

I know someone on here- I think it was Kukamonda, used barrels and circular slabs for tables/chairs. They work really nicely, and fit in with a lot of themes!

Yeah, I know. But in a few months time, we'll discover how to mod things in, so then we can finally add tables(assuming that Frontier doesn't put them in soon, which is highly unlikely).

 

[mark0ne]

I am sure we will be getting tables in the game at some point. Remember the animations of guests Frontier showed just before alpha release? There was one of a guest sitting down to a table to eat food.

Very nice stuff [happy]

 

[Coasterbuff]

Very nice for a first attempt, in fact they are quite artistic. It can only get better with a little imagination. [up]

 

[Doogerie]

That looks sweet dude I am thinking of getting this game myself. like you I am an arm chair pilot but I fly IL2.

I really love this!

How did you light up the track like that? I can't find a good place to place lighting on the track - I usually get a red error or just can't place it!

 

[Roder1987]

Truly, it's amazing !

I have no artistic talent, but I love looking at other people's work !

In my opinion, you're doing quite well, you shall keep going on [up] !

 

[coencoensmeets]

It looks pretty cool! [haha][up]

 

[BeachyBoy]

Well, if you think that you're a noob, I hate to think what I am xD Not very good at making creative buildings... I just put down pretty much a rectangle and a roof.

All I did was zoom in a little (not as much in this picture), and move around until it worked. As you can see, a lot of them aren't really attached to anything. [weird] I haven't tried it with the blue track yet.
