Tutorials

[FlyingRoss 12]

Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

It seems there are not many straight forward tutorials out there on YouTube.  A lot of them are long game play sessions that skirt around the ideas and concepts, and where mine might not be the best, I do try and make it clear on one subject. 

 

So This is going to be my thread where I will post tutorial videos. If you have a tutorial you would like to request please leave a comment.

 

If in my videos you have another tip, trick, or simply a better idea on how to do something please let me know, I can always update tutorials based on new information.

This is really good.  I will have my god-daughter watch these since she is learning how to play.

[FlyingRoss 12]

Glad you like them

You may want to screen them first; the language is occasionally "salty."

[BlitzPackage 19]

Thanks. I will screen them. I may have to watch all of them and then tell her about what they say.

Lol! It's all good. Thanks for your service.

[FlyingRoss 12]

No problem mate 

[FlyingRoss 12]

I was wondering, does anyone have a subject they would like me to cover in a tutorial? 

[gear070680 8]

Tourism, how to attract more tourists, and possibly return a profit? And using your great transport logic in doing so!

 

Just used the basic idea for the transit system from the video above, and i have to say, its working wonderfully!

God idea on the Tutorials.  Being quite new to the game, I sure would like to see something on the Map Editor itself.  There's not much out there yet on this subject.

.

Personally, here's what I'd like to know a little more about:

     1.  The correct way of setting up the 4x Airplane routes across the map.  Is there a right and wrong way to do it?

     2.  The correct way to setup the Ship/Boat access routes from the outside edge into your map

     3.  A demonstration of how you'd setup the rail lines across a bare map

     4.  ...and how do you setup the Highway systems on a bare map?

 

Any help or hints would be appreciated by, I'm sure, more than just myself.

 

THX....

I would love a tutorial on how to avoid so many empty buildings for various reasons.  I would also like a tutorial on how to get all of the special buildings.  For example, it says one build will need all tax rates at no higher than 4%, when I put my tax rates that low for a few weeks, the building was not available so I had to raise them back to normal levels.

 

Again, thanks for these.

[Dyas 37]

Besides getting all the buildings, I would like one for all the achievements. I don't know if you do those kind though.

I would have to dive into the map editor to do that stuff, but pushing my comfort zone is not an issue.  I will look into those

If you check out my channel, one of my "lets play " covers quite a few unique buildings.  

 

Remember though, each one of those you usually have to do for years not just a few weeks. Look at the requirements once you hit the "40%" tax rate and you should see a new counter of 0/5 or 1/6 something like that. Once that is fullfilled you will have the building

Which achievements are you having an issue with?

I was having issues with tough city. I finally got it, but after about 1 year it would hit 39% for a week than go back up. Was frustrating. I haven't had a chance to watch all your videos. I should do that.

 

Edit:

I'm watching your videos, but i haven't found this yet. How do you remove ground pollution? I would

[chocolate_city 93]

I'd like to request a tutorial on making more realistic freeway to freeway interchanges... such as flyover ramps... doubledeck highways. I've seen some beautiful ones... and mostly seen some that are just god-awfully unrealistic... I have tried to make them and i just doesn't work for me.... I, for some reason, can't make the exit ramp flyover bridge, the page up and down buttons do nothing to the target height even though the keys have been binded to those peticular functions.... A tutorial would help tremendously once I get those road height levels to function

The only way to remove ground pollution is rezoning the area that has been polluted.  Let it sit for about 10 min in game on fast and it will be as good as new.  

High tech industry does not produce less pollution... We were lied to on that one. 

Also trees, such as the ones you place, do not help noise pollution.  Only trees on the roads help.

do you mean that you have never been able to get the ramps to go over the highway? 

I will admit, designing highways is not my strong suit, but I will see what I can do in the next week or so. 

[Dyas 37]

Oh, well I would want to remove the old industry, but I was afraid it would never go away. That is easy. Anyway, I just changed my start location on the map I'm playing so I start where I wanted industry, and no issue. 3 hours, and I have hardly any citizens. Just under 2.3k. I am spending a lot of time on making it look nice and going slow though.

Yes, thats exactly what I mean.... and thank you for your timely response...

[FlyingRoss 12]

okay, I will put together a short video on it probably within the next week.
