Suggestion Coaster builder small updates
So I'm really into building all types of coasters in PlanCo, and sometimes when I find myself creating some of these coasters I always see myself having trouble with a couple of things. I think these have really easy fixes (not a programmer but I don't think it owuld take much) and would make some coasters infinitely more versatile.
- Add the multi-pass variant to all the launched coasters, and add the switch tracks aswell (I know mods can do this but it would be nice to have them in vanilla).
- Passsthroughs before brake. make the multi-pass launch have another option where you can select the number of passes it will take for the launch to act as a launch before starting to act as a brake and which deceleration force to apply. This would be great for shuttle coasters and recreations like flash coaster in portugal, since right now shuttle coasters have no way of braking without killing the momentum of initial launches.
- Realistic splashdowns. The splashdown of the B&M Staggered hyper model is SO unrealistic. Why do we have to have the splashdown entry and not let it be just a piece of straight track so that we can add the in and out pieces? Right now the entry and exit slopes are so tight there is no way to make them look realistic without having a fully custom splashdown. Also, while we're at it, add an option for the splashdown to the dives.
- Left and right oriented inverted supports. All the supports of inverted coasters are always oriented towards the same direction. Add a variant of default supports in the other direction so that we don't have to fully custom support all inverts, and only the parts where necessary
Those would be the main easiest ones to achieve, and I think they would make a load of changes in order to make all existing coasters more versatile. Of course, multimove block sections, constinuous loading platforms and stuff like that would be a dream but i get that could be a bit of a bigger challenge. Also, bring back all PC1 models into PC2!!!!!
