Spinning wild mouse has very bad friction

djwessie · Jul 21, 2017

Does anyone have a problem with the wildmouse coaster?

I can't build the usual wildmouse tracks because they don't make the track.

I have build slopes, before the sharp turns, but it keep slowing down.

I do believe the friction of the wildmouse coaster is very bad.

I wanted to build this:

I think the Spinning wildmouse needs some prefab straight slope elements, prefab turns and better slope control for the drops to make realistic recreations for this type of coaster.
It is very hard to make the straight pieces for the wildmouse in such a angle that the coach actually would make speed on the straight parts.

I hope anyone agrees.

Regards,

Wes.

All the coasters have too much friction. Pre-fab elements are not going to fix this.

There is a cheat to reduce friction.

I know, but sometimes the Friction gets too much with the cheat. I think we need a function to toggle with the sensitivity of friction.

Little trivia: It looks like that's one of the Reverchon or Zamperla spinning mouse coasters. RCT2 / RCT3's spinning coaster seemed to be of that model. The spinning coaster in this game looks to be a Maurer spinner, which doesn't do hairpin turns.

This has been a much requested feature

This does not help with blueprints, you cannot save parks with cheatcodes enabled and you must re-enable cheatcodes everytime you load up a park, which is not good. its almost useless that when you enable the friction cheat it effects ALL coasters and not just one

the friction cheatcode should be a default feature for each individual ride with a slider option for specific %

Yea and the cheat reduces the friction by way too much.

There is a maurer, but in the latest update there is a Zamperla spinning coaster added which doesn't make it till the end!

I think in general the friction/momentum/weight of trains in PC is poor. However, I think that the Manic Mouse's performance is alright, although just a bit off.

About 2-2.5 degrees seems to work well for me. Keeps it at a pretty consistent speed.

DJwessie, could you upload a picture of your layout?

I really lost the motivation to do proceed.
