balance sheet also shows you the current annual turnover in comparison
to your annual turnover from the previous year, allowing you to see if you
are making positive or negative progress.

Requirement to win: total turnover
Another new requirement to win is your total turnover. Just like in the annual
turnover, only your income is calculated here. However, this time your total
income since the beginning of the mission is calculated. In these missions
you do not have to have any funds left after expenses - only your turnover
counts. And you can try to raise your turnover until the very end of the time
limit, without having to worry about expenses.

Changes in comparison to the main game
Automatic vehicle replacement
You now have the possibility to automatically and immediately replace
vehicles in case they break down. Activate this option in the menu „Options“
during a game. You can also deactivate this option at any point in time.
Broken vehicles are always replaced by vehicles of the same type. Even if
the required type of vehicle is no longer available on the market, your fleet
manager will find the respective sources. Of course, if you already have the
required vehicle in your fleet, that vehicle will be favored.

Comfortable loading
You will often experience situations, where you will want to or you must load
a long train with a large amount of the same goods, for example.
Till now you had to click on the arrow button once for every product you
wanted to load, now this process can be complete much easier and quicker.
Simply select the last slot to be loaded in the schedule. Select the desired
product and press and hold the Enter key on your keyboard while you click
on the arrow button. Now the schedule will be filled with this product, from
left to right until you have either reached the first slot or a slot that has
already been assigned with a product. Of course you can also apply this
method to delete products from the schedule.

Airplanes
The control tower operators have learned a lot since the main version of the
game - they now behave like a true team of control tower operators would
behave in reality. The planes in the main program always had first priority.
That constantly led to tremendous waiting times for airplanes, which they
had to spend wastefully circling the airport until they received a landing
permission. The priority system has now been changed. Airplanes in the
air have absolute priority in comparison to planes on the ground. As soon
as an airplane reaches its position for approach, a control tower operator
enters the plane into a waiting list. As long as planes in the air are in the
game - they now behave like a true team of control tower operators would
behave in reality. The planes in the main program always had first priority.

enters the plane into a waiting list. As long as planes in the air are in the
waiting list and parking spaces are available, other planes on the ground
may not take off.
This will assure that the waiting lists remain fairly short.
In addition, the motional leeway around the airport is increased. Thus, you
can move a plane to its parking space and at the same time, you can send
another plane to the runway.

Vehicle income
You can now view the total amount of income for a certain vehicle by looking
at the respective vehicle tooltip. Move the mouse pointer over the vehicle
to activate the tooltip.

Signals
Preface
Signals are a very complex topic, often discussed and dealt with by many
people in the true world of railway networking. Trains can only function
properly and without accidents with the help of signals. But signals alone
will not guarantee a smooth flow or safety and security. Without the assis-
tance from human logistics, the signal system would not prevent deadlocks
or downtimes.

Signals are not an easy topic to deal with, not even in „Transport Giant“.

cement. They are not required to earn record-breaking amounts of money
nor are they required to build up a complex transportation system!
The signals in the game behave according to their own rules. These rules
are necessary as the human control factor cannot be calculated and inte-
grated. You must follow these specific rules. Please keep in mind that you
cannot construct a functioning network/system if it does not correspond
to these rules.

In addition, signals obviously require additional computer-memory time.
Therefore, you should be running the program on a respectively well-
equipped computer system.

Selecting signals for the game
You may select whether you want to use signals during the game in the
menu „Level of difficulty“ when you start a new endless map or a new
mission. You cannot change this option for games you have already saved.
That means if you start a game without signals you may not change this
option for that game.
