UI - Ride Selection

I think the game already improved a lot when we got rid of the extra screen when selecting rides and coasters. From there on I don't want to be too picky and complain about everything but while playing the game I noticed I actually had difficulty finding the rides I needed. My first idea was I simply have to get used to the new style but after playing the game a bit more I cant get used to it and I started to compare the Planco 1 way with the Planco 2 way and you can immediatly see it went from nice, clear, clean pictures to in-game pictures.

My feedback would be to go back to the old way, it looked a lot more clean and dare to say it, professional.

Also take a special look at the wheels and tower rides. In planco 1 the pictures were scaled or made in such a way the entire ride is shown. In Planco 2 the image just cuts whole area's of the wheel's and towers. It doesn't look that good to be honest.

Yes, this has my vote as well. I can see why they did it, but i also prefer the old way. I think it is much easier to see at a glance what the Ride is.

That was my point exactly, I dont want to nitpick an already updated feature but I was genuinly struggling to find the ride I wanted since the pictures are not clear.

I don't like them, too.
If you like the new PC2 images with background or without (PC1)... I think it makes it even harder to see what ride it is. And in case of the teacups, the ride is using only 1/4 of the whole pic... why?

Will it get better if using higher ui zoom setting?
Is it a console thing, again where they might thought that the pics are nice/clear enough on a big tv screen .

It's even hard to see how some small scenery pieces look like/ what they are, without selecting them.
And the frame of selected items will follow the mouse pointer (highlighting the last item where the pointer's last position in the list was moving over). Bad thing if clicking through the list.

Yes, the icon is horrible.

I would have taken the new planet logo as fullsize image and hanging in a 2, instead of adding the (at the end) unreadable title in a desktop icon (!).
Could be anything...
Again a console thing, just having the logo shrunken to make a desktop icon out of it?

I messed around a bit and this is a style that could match Planco 2? The blue outline can be a bit smoother and the picture needs to be scaled down a bit but I think this style would look a lot better then what we currently see in game.

1000 times better! That looks fantastic Vampiro. Send it to Frontier, with a bill, of course!

Being an old guy, not sure but I think I bumped into some guy named Roosevelt, I loved the option of increasing the size of the icons in the menus. I find it nearly impossible to distinguish what I'm looking at even on my 19" monitor. Even with my glasses! :geek:

I've always thought surely they can make it so you can select between the view types, like between the original list view and the current grid, depending on preference. But I do agree the grid needs to be scaled up somewhat.
