CONTROL KEY SUPPORT FOR BUILDING STRUCTURES

GAME OPTIONS

Warning: Only make adjustments to game options if you know your computer is capable of running optimally with the settings you have select- ed. If, after adjusting some of the settings, your computer begins to show performance degradation, open Game Options > Graphic Settings and click the Graphics Detail Level icon to reset the game back to its default settings for your PC.

Game Settings

Enable Live Content – This check box tells the game to connect to the internet and get updated ads for billboards and brands for custom stalls.

Graphic Settings

The following new options have been added:

Refraction – When checked, all views through water will be affected by light refraction.

Laser Occlusion by Terrain and Scenery – When checked, laser shows will allow terrain and scenery to block light beams. (To build laser shows, you must have the RollerCoaster Tycoon 3: Soaked®! expansion pack installed.)

Anti-Aliasing Quality – This drop-down list allows you to select the amount of anti-alias- ing that will be performed on the in-game scenes. Level 3 provides the highest degree of anti-aliasing.

Use Environment Map On Flowing Water – When checked, adds additional properties to bodies of flowing water, including the reflection of the environment on the surface.

PARK MANAGEMENT

Staff

After you place an entertainer in your park, one of the uniforms available is a Tiger costume. In addition, you can hire an Animal Keeper to look after the animals you’ve added to your amusement park. Note: Animal Keepers are not required for Lion Show, Tiger Show or the Elephant Transport Ride.

Attractions

Within the Attractions window, two additional options are available: Viewing Galleries and Animals. Click on these icons to display the list of each, giving you easier access to manag- ing these attractions.

Challenges

Among the buttons under Park Management, is a but- ton for displaying Challenges. The challenges window displays a special opportunity to take advantage of a temporary condition that affects your park and its guests. If you meet the challenge, you’ll receive a special bonus.
