Strategy Guide

  70K ~ Date: 1986 ~ Arctic climate ~ James S. Baughn
  URL: http://i-want-a-website.com/about-tt/downloads/strategy.zip

  This saved game demonstrates some of the ideas in the Guide to Using Transport and other sections of this FAQ. It has several profitable train layouts, a high volume aircraft line, some long distance road vehicle routes, and a ship route transporting coal. There are also some example junctions including a roundabout, cloverleaf, and a "spaghetti junction". In the north corner of the map you'll find a city with a 20,000+ population.

- ZIP Archive of the Semi-FAQ (Last updated: September 4, 2000)
  Now you can download an archive of all the files in the Semi-FAQ for perusal offline at your leisure.

  Instructions:

  1. Make a directory to hold the HTML files. You can have this directory branch off your TT directory. For instance, if TT is stored in `C:\GAMES\TT`, you can store the Semi-FAQ in `C:\GAMES\TT\FAQ`.
  2. Download the 130K tt-html.zip and unzip it in the directory you created.
  3. [Optional -- only if you want to download the .GIF and .JPG graphics] You have to place the graphics in their own `IMAGES` directory for them to show up when you view the Semi-FAQ. For instance, if the FAQ is in `C:\GAMES\TT\FAQ`, the graphics need to be in `C:\GAMES\TT\FAQ\IMAGES`. Download the 284K tt-graph.zip and unzip it in the `IMAGES` directory.
  4. Now when you want to view the FAQ, all you have to do is point your browser at the index.html file.
