How do you access advanced game features in RCT3 Platinum?

#1
I've been ready to play a more advanced version of RCT3 Platinum. Looking at tutorials on youtube, but can't seem to find them when I'm using the game. I would like to learn how to use the advanced camera options and record if possible from the peeps view. Is there an advanced guide out to this game? How are all of you figuring this stuff out? When I download some of the custom scenery, sometimes it freezes the game. I'm kind of bored with the scenerios, so I'm starting to make my own, and learning what I can do with the scenerio editior and sandbox mode.

Flying Camera tutorial.

To record the peeps view on a ride, put your ride in test mode, click on the details icon. You can either click on the coaster cam icon or double click on the coaster train pic in the center of the coaster control. Then push Ctrl + Shift + F11 to start the recording. The frame rate will be very very slow while it records. When you are done recording push Ctrl + Shift + F11 again to stop recording. The video file will go into your My Documents folder in the My Videos folder in a folder named RCT3.

CS causing crashes. Read the second post.

I gotta remember that about the frame rate as that was bugging me before and I thought it was because of my laptop

Using the ingame video recording always records super slow but playback of the video will be at normal speed.

If you have a very complex park with tons of peeps, scenery and rides it can cause some lags in the final video. Sometimes if a park has too many things/parts used it can cause the game to not record at all. It takes a lot to get to the point where the game will not record at all.

If you get to the point where the game will no longer record video you can use a video screen capture program like FRAPS.

In addition to Frankedj’s suggestions it’s also a good idea to remember that one shouldn’t increase the frame rate of the video recording application to too high a value. Generally they install at about highest frame rate they are capable of handling on their host system. Frame rates that are too high for the application to handle result in videos that jump from one still image to the next showing very little video movement.

I have had problems recording games like RCT3. Some times it doesn't record, sometimes in records slow and plays back slow also. It is best just to let RCT3 record itself.

High resolutions, high LOD's and water reflections also have an affect on recording video in addition to the complexity of the park.

I like maxing out all of the graphics to have better detail. That is why I can usually only build one thing in an empty sandbox. Otherwise it causes lots of lags in the video recording.

Using 1,000's and 10's of thousand of pieces of CS or trees can get you to the point of the game not recording at all and can even cause the game to crash.

When experimenting with mega pieces of scenery it is wise to save the game often using a new name every so often so if you get to the point where the park won't load anymore you can go back to a save that will load.

Yeh. And sometimes if your save won’t load or if your previous iteration takes you back too far and will undo too much, Park CleanUp will get you around the problem. Your park that won’t load before CleanUp will load after and then, if you don’t zoom around or change position too much, your cleaned up park will give you long enough to delete just what you want. When you’re in this precarious position, depending on the size of the items you’re deleting, save the park after every few deletions so if your park still crashes, each time it's re-loaded you're that much further along with the deletions.
