  Full Release v1.35

This is the full release version of NoLimits, realistic roller-coaster physics simulation. Nolimits includes two applications: the Simulator and the Track Editor. Both programs use OpenGL graphics drivers for real-time 3D rendering.
The Simulator is optimized for smooth graphics with textures and effects. The Editor uses a simple, fast wire-frame display to let you create your own track designs.

NOTE: The NoLimits Simulator requires an accelerated (3D) graphics card. It does not work properly with non-accelerated cards.

Both programs are limited like the shareware demo as long as you do not enter the registration information you get when buying the full version together with the download link.

When you order NoLimits you should get a "User-Name" and a "Registration-Key" in the same email that is delivered for the download link. Both values must be entered in the corresponding Register dialogs to unlock the features of the full-release. YOu only have to enter these values once for both applications.

It is recommended to make a backup of the original installation file on an external storage device (e.g. CD-R). Please do not loose your registration data ("User-Name" and "Reg-Key"), too. You will need both, the file and the data if you want to reinstall the application. The download link will only work for a certain amount of time, because it is a temporary link.

System Requirements
-------------------
- G3 processor with 500 MHz (G4 or better recommended)
- MAC OS X 10.2.4 or newer (Mac OS 9 and older are not supported)
- 100% OpenGL accelerated graphics card with at least 16MB Video RAM
- 64MB Ram (128 MB recommended)
- 16bit sound output device

If your system meets these requirements but NoLimits does not work properly. We recommend that you update your operating system with Software Update.


Optimize it!
------------
Your graphics card is the most important component for using NoLimits. If your framerates are too slow, consider a better graphics card instead of a faster processor. If your processor is over 500 MHz, upgrading it will only make a big difference if you upgrade your graphics card too. If you have framerates around 1 fps, this means that your graphics card is simply incompabible or not equipped with enough video memory.


Other Problems?
---------------
If you have problems running NoLimits, send us the following information:

 (1) Your graphics card's brand, model and chipset
 (2) Your processor type and speed
 (3) Your Mac OS X version number
 (4) Information about components in your computer (e.g. sound-cards)
 (5) A detailed desciption of the problem
 (6) A copy of the Log.txt and Logedit.txt files in your NoLimits folder. These files are created automatically when you run the programs. They      contain information that may help us solve your problem.

Send your problem report to support@nolimitscoaster.com

Known-issues
------------
Most bugs are caused by buggy OpenGL drivers. There have been noticed some graphics glitches on ATI Radeon 7000 cards. Be sure to keep your Mac OS X version up to date.
