Any bridge patches?

[Bill Smith]

TT O or D's worst shortfall, IMO, is the bridges. I wish I could build a
bridge higher than one square, and I wish I could put turns in my bridges.
I also wish there were VTOL aircraft other than the helicopter, something to
carry 300 pax or so out of a tight downtown.

BTW, glad to have found this NG, here's my rags to riches tip (probably been
mentioned before, but oh well):

You can make money faster in the stock market than you can building
transport networks, especially in Mountain and Desert expert modes. Buy 75%
of a company just as it completes it's first construction and before it buys
vehicles. The value of the firm rockets by about 30%. You can pocket a
quick $30K each time it opens a new line. This will enable you to build a
warchest and do some real construction when the time is right.

Cheers!

Yes, unfortunately that's one of the things I won't be able to fix
without rewriting the game engine. Not only are there no graphics to
display bridges like that, but there is no way to even store the height
of a bridge in the map arrays. So...

Can't recall that it did.

Yes, I think I've read it on some page of FAQ or something too. You have
to figure out what actions increase a company's value, and then buy and
sell at the right time. But personally I find this boring - building is
much more fun...
