well, I personally hate the new views, whats up with the music in the sky? and the fact that i can't keep the view horizonatally? But those aren't my real question(although if theres an answer to that i'd really like to know), my question is how to you build paths up or down? I have rides with entrances and exits that are slighty off the ground or greatly off the ground. I can make elivated walkways lead off from it or ground level walkways that are below it but I can't seem to be able to make stairs to get the walkway to the ground.

oh yeah this is RTC3 if you couldn't tell.

and the "Sky" music confused me at first too but it's just background music. You can change it under the options.

in the options you can change the background music.
you can change the "stay put" camera by going to the options and setting the camera to advanced.
you can change the height of a path by simply clicking where you want the path to go and while clicked moving your mouse up and down, this also works, to some extent while creating coasters, try it... :)

thanks for all the help, you all solved all 3 of my questions. The paths being the most important, one last little thing, is there a way to se the background music to just always play cause I like it(even more so sicne you can put your own files in the music) and when I'm spending hours building it would be nice to hear the music always instead of faitly while I'm working at the top of my Roller Coaster's lift hill.

No there isn't. Set it as a station music or have winamp playing it.

Try using contour lines. I hear that it helps quite a bit. Also, try clicking on different areas of the land.

Move the corsor around where the water is supposed to be. Do you see rings/ripples? If so, the water's supposed to be there, but it's something with your graphics card. Check the official FAQ to get it. (don't have a link, you might be able to find it in the official RCT site)
