NoLimits Coaster Calculator is a software that assists in designing quality rides through calculating important numbers.
I recently got my hands on NoLimits Coaster Calculator, which has turned out to be an extremely helpful tool. If you're into designing roller coasters and looking to create rides that are well built and function well, this software is a must-have. The coaster calculator comes packed with features that aid in designing smooth and effective roller coasters.
Using the coaster calculator, you can create smooth banked turns that have no lateral forces or make pump-free turns effortlessly. You can also ensure that your stations have the right number of queue gates and that your LIM is the perfect length for the given speed and launch force.
One of the best things about this software is that it offers two amazing formulas that you won't find in the Windows version. The first formula calculates the Station Length, which can be a huge help when you're trying to determine how long your station needs to be. With this formula, you simply enter the number of cars in each train and how many rows of seats are on each car, and the calculator tells you how long your station should be to accommodate the correct number of queue gates. It's important to remember that the queue gates may not line up with the train, but the number of gates will be correct.
The other fantastic formula that the coaster calculator provides is the Lim Length calculator. With this formula, you can enter the speed that you want your coaster to have at the end of the launch, and the force it will impose on the train (just as you did in the NoLimits editor). Using this information, the calculator will tell you how long the Lim segment needs to be in order to reach that speed. As an added bonus, it also tells you how long it takes to reach that speed with that force (in seconds). Keep in mind that because the equation doesn't account for the length of the train, you can almost always get away with a shorter Lim.
Overall, NoLimits Coaster Calculator is an excellent tool for any roller coaster designer. The formulas provide guidance and accuracy that can save you time and headaches during the building process. Whether you're a novice or seasoned designer, this software is well worth checking out.
