i didnt find anything related to this in the list but maybe a dev or someone from the team can tell more about this:
have billboard been fixed yet? ive had issues where billboard videos would randomly crash my game. ive reached out to frontier and they helped me pinpoint the crashing beeing related to custom media. is this now fixed and more stable?

I can't begin to tell you Frontier how excited I am for this update! I've been waiting for this update since you've showed us the raft deformation in November's Frontier Unlock and said, you are working on the waterslides and waterslide physics being more realistic. Plus, I've been wating vigoriously for the Desert Biome and Theme since launch considering I live in Arizona and pretty much base all my themeparks/waterparks in Arizona, which is a desert. The wait is not too much longer now! 😬

Also, if the devs are reading this, can we please get a run off for the medium bowl slide with the single raft and double raft. It's super unrealistic specifically for the double raft to drop into a pool where the two poor people could bash into each other and cause injury, death, and a lawsuit waiting to happen. 😅

One of the new features is
Flume jettisoning
To be honest, this is the most stupid thing you could waste your dev resources for!
Instead of setting all priorities in working on issues to fix, you're giving us (beside fixes) such a childish feature? No words...

Going this way, you will need to expand the roadmap till the end of the year.

Why??? Now we have to carefully consider and make our waterslides so people don't fly off. If you don't, you'll have consequences just like in real life. Your guests can substain injury or even death "unfortunately not in the game", but will leave the park in a panic state. If you ask me, that makes the game super realistic. Also, to speak for everyone saying, "that they don't want this feature" is a lie. I for one and for sure of others are happy with guests being able to fly off waterslides. It in reality is REALISTIC!

Devs, if you can combine this with my other post.

Flume physics have been an enormous point of contention. The flume physics in PlanCo 2 do not measure up to the flume physics in RCT 3 Soaked -- a game from 20 years ago! People on this very forum and especially on Steam criticized the flume physics heavily. There are entire videos dedicated to pointing out the fixed paths for rafts on funnels and bowls and other areas regardless of speed or turn radius. If you built your flumes like Action Park water slides then the game was totally happy with it even if guests should have been getting injured.

Seeing Frontier implement flume physics is a big deal to a lot of players. I know I'm excited for this improvement! Not posting about physics in every message doesn't mean the issue is no longer important. I get that you want to be able to toggle off curbs. I'm sure Frontier will get to that at some point because having that toggle would improve the game. People also want more returning themes, railroad crossings, improved water rides, and more. PlanCo 2 needs a lot of work to bring it up to parity with both its predecessor and RCT 3 Soaked. I'm happy to see Frontier continue working on PlanCo 2 and hope they have more great stuff planned for later this year beyond their roadmap.

I'm not asking for curbs to toggle on/off.

If we'll get much better flume physics (what I really would like to see) or just an opportunity to catapult peeps off a flume, we'll see today...
The video about update 3 isn't showing clearly the result. The advanced movement in the fly trap is looking a bit strange...

for me personally, i couldnt care less about flumes. Ive played 1100 hours so far and havent built a single flume yet, its just not my cup of tea. And i dont have any problems with frontier fixing the physics, but i do share the same opinion as some others. If frontier did this correctly before release or got some community feedback in a beta phase then we wouldnt be sitting here watching them „waste“ 4 months time to fix it. But i think this argument has already been stated many times and we cant change how things have played out and are now. It is what it is.
Im mostly looking forward to the fixes and new features. I just hope they been testing enough to make sure they dont repeat the same mistake like with custom audio in last update. And i just hope they finally fixed custom media stability overall. Cant be that they launched it last update, it led to crashing my park and i got told to just not use custom media. Like ok then why was the feature even implemented?😅
The new theme kinda lost its magic for me personally, as it seems to be just a basic 1:1 copy paste from planco 1. i was honestly expecting a bit more.
Again, it is what it is, nothing we can change right now. Ill have to get my hands pn the update to realy say if its good or not.

just a small suggestion to frontier:
Instead of giving early access to content creators only, you could widen this out to your actual playerbase and community. Let US have access earlier to give you better feedback in the updates, fixes and features. Let the players who actually play these games for hours say their opinion, not some youtubers who play the game solely for the sake of creating content for their channels.

No offence to anyone, just my thoughts on this early access thing situation.

I think most content creators play the game for a decent time to have some idea. But mostly: No one cares if you play update 3 (no offense), while with content creators some people may now know that there was an update dropped, maybe even buy the game.

No offence taken! We aren't providing any kind of early access to content creators for feedback on the game, it is for them to make content for marketing purposes.

HELP!!! My tube slides are bugged! On my Master Blaster Slide when they go up the water jet the rafts flips backwards and they go down the waterslide all the way backwards!
