    Nice, support like this makes me happy to drop some $ to encourage development of games that aren't a F2P timered money grab. :cool:

    Since someone brought up Transport Tycoon, let me use it as a frame of reference. I play on an iPhone and I found the Transport Tycoon controls extremely difficult. How do the RCTC controls on a phone compare? I've recently been playing Cities: Skylines and am sorely tempted to get this for mobile sim gaming while traveling offline. I have no experience with the RCT franchise.

    Update just went through approval and is live.

    Be good if some of you experiencing the crashing issue could try it?

    Thanks!

    Is there a way to scale UI? I'm playing on an iPhone 6 and the UI is awfully small.

    As small an issue as it is the most annoying thing for me currently is path placement, being in that when I'm placing a queue it'll instantly connect to the nearest path it passes by.

    In the old games you could continue the line and it would change where the path is linked to but now if there is a path where I want my line nearby I have to delete all of the path and then make a line then a new path just so it doesn't auto connect and stay connected even if I'm trying to extend it.

    Also anyone have tips on pricing? I doubled a lot of prices and the rides still seemed to stay busy.

    We're looking into implementing a different behaviour for close path/queue placement, understand how it can be fiddly in some cases. Hopefully ready for the next update.

    Cheers, any advice on pricing and how to observe what is best? So far I've just been going off if I put the price up and the lines still stay full then the price must be ok.

    It tough keeping my parks running a profit on the set prices rides ect come with but I could nearly double that and rides stayed busy.

    Could the deceloper please stop the game unpausing everytime you place a piece of track. And being able to sync saves, not just level progress would be nice, thanks.

    I don't know about the latter, but unpausing when you're building is part of the game mechanics, as building stuff actually takes time. Just set it on the slowest speed and days go by really slowly, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

    When I build and save a ride and use that ride in another scenario does the game consider that saved and rebuild ride an original design or a prebuild ride?


    I am totally addicted to this digital crack, love it.

    Hi guys

    When you finish a scenario successfully it only 'saves' your park rating. (so when you look at a completed scenario it shows your park rating)

    Is park rating influenced at all by your loan? I always try and get my loan down on each scenario...but is there any point? (other than ensuring the payments you make each month goes down).

    Thanks!

    Neto: you use the footprint to assign patrol areas AFTER you place the person. Also for rides: I put one mechanic with the patrol set just at the ride's exit-cuts down delays signifantly. Just do not assign too many blocks to a person. 2-3 is about optimal depending on your paths. You can go more maybe but I do not

    I found this cool post on another forum http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1173659

    It explains how to build realistic swarzkopf coasters.
    Building these gives you not only cool coasters but it gave me insight in better coaster design.
    Also learned that it matters in which order you press buttons, pressing a turn and then down gives another result then first down and then turn for example.

    Especially the speedracer is good for practicing, found it a challenge to build even with the explaination but got it perfect in the end.
    So far build the first three and will make the others later.

    Still enjoying this game immensly and bought all iap just to support the devs and because €7,- is way to cheap for such an amazing game :)

    Anyone remember that sim golf game i loved that game would be perfect for iOS. Getting to make and run your own golf course sounds boring but it was fun.
