Just browsing through your tutorials makes me want to get NL2 really badly. I played NL for a bit, but I suddenly had the urge to build things the correct and "professional" looking way and your tutorials are going to help me A LOT. Makes me want to do videos as well. Also an inspired mechanical engineer looking to go into the field of theme parks/rollercoasters as a career.

[@BossAct7]

Thanks man! If you strive to make NL2 content, go for it! Great community to help you out :)

[@l2m773]

Anthony Tran lol

[@MrPatrickbuit]

I use the in-game FVD most of the time, but i can't seem to get inversions right. So this tutorial will be really helpful for me. Thanks a bunch.

[@BossAct7]

Yeah I'd say the Force Vector in-game is only good for Hyper's... but even then I still prefer hand building lol

[@thecoasterace3972]

17:15 The most oddly satisfying video in the world

[@BossAct7]

haha

[@noahs532]

Thank you so much for this! I’ve had Nolimits for a few years now, and I could never figure out how to smooth out my track. Thanks for answering all my questions and helping me improve my track-building skills!

[@BossAct7]

np! Glad I could help :)

[@deventate9142]

Great videos! Maybe you could do a tutorial on how to make realistic transfer/storage catwalks for B&M inverts and flying coasters?

[@BossAct7]

Yeah sure! :)

[@syncRamon]

show us whatever you like us to see .. cso, tutorials, coaster .. (btw I saw a red inverted one at your "onboard sound video" looks very cool .. is there a pov? )

[@BossAct7]

yeah check out my channel! :)

[@isaachalton2828]

Very helpful! Thanks :)

[@BossAct7]

:)

[@therollercoastercreator2782]

Wouldn't it just be easier to just download FVD++ and use that?

[@BossAct7]

If you want to learn a whole new program

[@recordx6246]

How much does FVD cost?

[@therollercoastercreator2782]

Pretty sure it's free

[@inn0version727]

The Roller Coaster Creator Yep... It's free and only takes like 2 days to learn

[@fyre5287]

@@BossAct7 It's pretty simple to use and has so many benefits over handbuilding, I get some people prefer to handbuild but I think everyone should at least try FVD. You will also get a new understanding of track shaping in FVD.

[@hyrumforpresident2.0]

My POV's always seem to shake slightly when the train goes fast. Any way to fix that?

[@BossAct7]

go into to the *Setup* tab, and their should be a little slider on the bottom to turn vibrations off. Also in-game, press *F7* and you can alter setting there as well :)

[@hyrumforpresident2.0]

Thanks! :)

[@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

How do you do that the launch is straight and if you ad a vertex that it doesn’t affect the direction of the rail

[@BossAct7]

You make the launch section in between two vertices set to "strict"

[@syncRamon]

sooooo smooth! 😍 thx m8 ;)

[@BossAct7]

Np! : )

[@dwilhelm_21]

Dude this helped so much

[@MrPatrickbuit]

Wait... Was this from my request? lol.

[@BossAct7]

Probably haha

[@ThrillsofColdplay]

How do you use this in the game

[@hiderpnw]

Have you figured out the video screens thing in NL2 yet? I'll try and see if I can figure it out. It might be something you have to do in Sketchup but I'm not sure. I'll let you know if I find out. If you already know could you make another vid? Double upload perhaps?

[@BossAct7]

Currently I'm not sure how to do it but if you want, you could ask on the NL2 Forum threads and see if anyone cant help. I'm still in the process of figuring it out with the scripting etc..

[@alittlestrummerboy]

how do you select multiple nodes at once? it always deselects the original when i highlight again

[@thegamingcuber2271]

Hold ctrl

[@ELFinchy]

What launch caoster is this, how did you get handrails on the side?

[@BossAct7]

you go into track settings and checkmark "catwalks"

[@yasu3d]

Sooooooooo Smooth! (btw. I make Rollercoaster Videos too.) :)

[@BossAct7]

Thanks! I'll check em out :)

[@yasu3d]

Oh my god,Thanks! :) (I can't believe it) My suggestion : Scripted/Animated Catch car launches and "how to build some Elements (Corkscrew,Dive Loop...) (I'm sorry if my spelling isn't right. I'm german :) )

[@BossAct7]

I'll see what I can do on the scripting catch cars, and I'll have a video on how to make elements soon! :)

[@yasu3d]

Nice!

[@thegamingfanboy8171]

How do U now how tall your coaster is

[@BossAct7]

go into the front or side grid view, and look at the height relative to sea level. There is markers on the side of the grid

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I still, and always will go with the "less is more" approach with my build style, It's faster and just as smooth (if not smoother) if you do it right. If I'm gonna have anything to do with FVD I'ma do it all the way, I don't fake it.

[@coastercat2070]

Wow!

[@RCmaniac1231]

How do you insert vertices so quickly?

[@BossAct7]

There is an insert vertices tool

[@jorge3159]

How do you build inversions? I tried building a loop but it's really rough

[@BossAct7]

If you are having trouble building inversions, go in the element tab and click *Add Element*. Here you can had perfect loops and corkscrews to your track! Just make sure before you click add, highlight the node you want to add it to :)

[@coastersandcod9762]

BossAct7 you are amazing and have helped me with this game i thank you for that☺

[@thelightdesigner4490]

What does fvd mean?

[@chipweather]

Force vector design

[@maxi9938]

do you have any mods installed on this

[@BossAct7]

No mods :)

[@greysongladney4403]

I am new to the game, what is fvd?

[@BossAct7]

Its Force Vector Design, another program used to make smooth coasters. Then they are imported into NL2

[@erolhuseyin6460]

Very pumpy. There's a much easier way to achieve this.

[@mateszka2003]
