The NoLimits team wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!



The new update 2.1.0.0 with the new Wing Coaster is now available. We are proud to present you this astonishing coaster style implemented in NoLimits 2 using highly detailed 3d models and textures. We also give you two new parks with three new coasters, so you can instantly try out the new coaster style. Kudos to Seth Parsons for contributing another great park file.
This is our Christmas present for our great community. We hope you like it as much as we do.

We greatly improved the performance of support beam rendering. The support beam engine now scales better with highend graphics cards. Especially wooden coasters should render now with much higher framerates.

The team behind NoLimits 2 Roller Coaster Simulator announces Oculus Rift support is now available. Virtual Reality fans can now enjoy the most realistic roller coaster simulation software in The Rift and create the rides of their dreams with a powerful built-in sandbox editor.



The new update 2.0.8.0 added support for the Rift (Development Kit 2). It will automatically be detected at startup. Be sure to have the Oculus Runtime 0.43 installed. Support for the Rift is also included in the demo version 2.0.8.0.
