Vector Coaster Train Length 6 Cars, Instead of 5

Greetings all,

Thanks Frontier for the splendid and beautiful Magnificent Rides pack. I was most excited for the Vector coaster! However, I noticed that the maximum train length is 5 cars per train. If we are to presume that this coaster styler is modeled after Mack Rides' standard looping coaster track and train style, this limitation removes the ability to remodel or take inspiration from a small, but in my opinion very significant, part of their design portfolio--the hyper coasters. Flash (and its clone) and D.C. Rivals...

It would be a tiny but welcome change to allow the user to put 6 cars per train (or more!). I am only nitpicking here of course. [happy]

Best,
Keegan

I also wanted to suggest this!
As much as I love the design work that went into the trains of the new coasters, the more am I disappointed that the rest is just so half-baked und unfinished.
This is a paid DLC, so please go all the way and look into the things that people actually want to do with these rides.
Why not let us add cars to the trains, why is it not possible to launch upwards or out of the station. THIS is what coaster builders want.
It would also be super neat if we could have the last car facing backwards!

Modeling it after Blue Fire explains the lack of thick spined segments and the car limits of 5 (If they were going to truly model it after Blue Fire, they should have added the option to make the train wait before launching).

However, if they do go back and adjust the max train length of the Vector, I hope they adjust the train lengths of the Iron Fury and Tiamat, too. Iron Fury should have a max of 12 cars per train and the Tiamat should have a max of 8 cars per train.

I think the modelled it after Blue Fire,but since there is no stop segment for any of the coasters they didn't include it with this one too. Would be nice if they could include one for all coasters tho,maybe with a tick box for block brakes?Also if they ever implement the last car facing backwards,then pls as a bonus option to choose,not as the standard version. I love the new vector coaster,because i'm a big Europapark Fan and it's very useful for any of my parks,already building one for my ski resort/themepark.[wink]

With all other coasters, you can just make the station longer to add cars to the trains. Is there something preventing that from happening with this coaster?

For them as don't know how that works, when you 1st place the station and there's the 1st piece of track sticking out the front, while that track section is still green, change from the "Utilities" to the "Station" tab. This changes the unplaced, green section from track to station. Then just click repeatedly, same as making track, for however far you want to go. Each click adds 4m of station platform, usually enough for 2 cars.

Yes but for some reason this maxes out at 5 cars.

Bullethead, the station can be extended on any coaster but one can only elect a certain train length in the coaster operations. You'll never get a Giga - Rage train longer than 10 cars, just as you won't get a Vector train longer than 5 cars. My request here is that that limit be increased to match its real-life counterpart.
