Hey this was actually helpful. I didn't understand what the frequency was. Whether it was the freqency of my vehicles, or the frequency of passengers. Thanks!

Pretty nice guide! Just a few minor corrections:

Originally posted by TheOrigin:

Tier 1 - raw material like wood
Tier 2 - processed material like boards
Tier 3 - assembled material like machines

Tier 1 can only produce 400 pieces max (no upgrades)

Farms max at 200, but every other T1 industry does 400.

They can be upgraded with MORE runways and taxiways in the "misc" menu. The placement isnt shown as "blue dots" like on train stations. You have to try & error at the sides of the airport to place new runways...

There is a blue square, just kinda small compared to the size of the airport. Look near the midpoint of the taxi/runways.

Per one platform, cargo storage is increased by 20 units.

Huh, interesting. Expected each platform to add a bit more than that.

Solid guide, except for some spelling mistakes.

Thanks, not a native english speaker ;)

I will continue the guide here, because of lacking space in the forum:

only 20? O_o
considering each section can hold atleast 2 wagons, that's too little :(

I have added another tutorial video to the guide. You can find different keywords in the first commentary to jump directly to different game mechanics you are looking for.

This will be a huge help to a lot of players (I always point new players to this guide), but I think I will have to take the time to study it myself because I think it will be a help even to more seasoned players!. Thankyou so much for taking the time and trouble to make this, it is really appreciated!.

Had a quick look at it, and one thing I might disagree with you with was your 'start small' advice (that was correct in TF1 but not in TF2)!. I started a game recently (medium dif) and I built a long crude/oil/fuel rail line passing through several oil wells!. It cost me $53 million (in loans) and I fully expected to go bankrupt, but after about 30/40 minutes of letting the game and the one train run (fastest speed) I had fully repaid that loan!. So I think with TF2 it pays to be bold and take out a big loan, as long as that investment reaps it's rewards quickly!.

But, once again I think your guide is invaluable to new players, thankyou for taking the trouble to make it!.
