If nothing else, the demo video on the site is worth a look. _________________________ *Paul Grzelak* 200GB with 48MB RAM, Illuminated Buttons and Digital Outputs

I've been playing with NoLimits Roller Coaster Simulation lately. The editor is amazing, very CAD-like. Plus, there is a terrain editor which really opens the possiblities of design. Anyway, anyone who is interested in roller coasters should definitely check it out. Best simulator I've seen so far, and it's only $25. _________________________ Donato MkII/080000565 MkIIa/010101253 ricin.us
