I suppose I will bump this thread...

I'm trying to merge two coasters (there's a vid on YouTube - I'm doing exactly the same), but I'm not able to achieve the same results due to my version of 8 Cars (1.302) wanting to send a report after I press "Apply" or "OK".

Just to whittle the FAQs down:
1. Open RCT2, and load specific scenario.
2. Open 8 Cars v 1.302
3. Open 'Rides' tab, find both coasters needed for merging.
4. Pick second coaster, select "Raise/Lower", Powered Launch Mode (tried with Boat Hire Mode, too), adjust height, adjust launch speed, pick Alternative Color Scheme #1.
5. Click 'OK' or 'Apply'
6. 8 Cars tries to send report.

Am I doing anything wrong here? I've got an inkling that the problem may be due to my OS is Vista Home Premium, but I have not found any basis for this through Googling.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I have the Atari version of the game (Deluxe, I think?).

I'm using Windows 7 but there's this same problem too. The raise/lower function will make 8cars trainer to stop working. There's a tutorial for merging for Windows 7 pinned on the first page using Map Object Manipulation (Link : http://www.nedesigns...514#entry594514 ) Hopefully this method works for you.

In rct2, which i presume you use because 8cars is for that, use multidemenisional track with chainlift, and backwards zero cleareance that in.

You will probably need to get some form of Windows XP (be it XP Mode, dual boot, another computer, or another piece of virtual software) running with RCT2 and 8cars inside it, if you want to get the rides menu of 8cars working. I have the same problem and must use XP Mode via VMWare Player. Same for LL and 4cars.

Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate them!

Hi, for the lift hill walkway trick, I couldn't lower the wooden track using 8cars, cuz 8cars keeps getting error when i try to raise/lower. Is there another alternative for it? Thanks in advance.
