How to Test ride a coaster

[War Haggis]

As it seems googling and trying find this information is forums is like stupidly harder than it should be.

How do you actually test ride a coaster you have made?

[Svatlas]

open the coaster editor. click on you coaster station und push the coaster button and camera 1-3 button :)

Alternatively you can click on the icon that looks like a coaster on the build menu or main menu and select the one of the icons that are labeled #1 (first person), #3 (3rd person follow), or "E" (animated construction mode - viewed from a distance).

for some reason I can load the coaster, but it will not leave the station ?? Im in the seat but cant get it to start. Any tips ?

[abletudu]

Which coaster? Post the exact steps you are taking.

My coasters work, but there are no peeps in the cars. Might be a bug.

[abletudu]

eerf77 see my post just above.

Corkscrew coaster, after I build the ride, and press 'TEST Coaster", the train goes up the lift and around the circuit, but there aren't any peeps in the train itself.

did you check your coaster options? maybe you have set it on off. check it under options

[eerf77]

Yep, had the guest option set to off, thanks Svatlas. But my game still lags a bit, the coaster seems to go in slow motion, as do the rides.

does your system meet the recommendation, have you recently run a virus check, do you have any junk files, are there any unnecessary programs running in the background, have you defraged your hard drive (if applicable)? Check your setting under options. All these things could possibly affect performance. I have TuneUp Utilities 203 installed, and it has helped me to optimize my system and keep it optimized.

[eerf77]

Thanks for the info, I downloaded tuneup utilities, and cleaned out my computer, the game is running better, thanks!

[abletudu]

Glad I could help. You would be surprised how something like that can help the overall running of your computer.
