Very handy und usefull information.

Short question, do we have the possibility to swap the position of two buildings in the city or do we have go via a free space to park on of the buildings first?

You will need to have some free space in order to swop the position of two buildings. I will insert a sentence in the user guide about this - many thanks for the question.

Great job for the guide as always, @Captain WH Rollins

A small suggestion maybe to put the screenshot of each icons? Or 1 picture of the whole display with the icons being numbered might work too.

Thank you very much for your post and for your suggestion.

I have thought about doing this in the past, with a number of user guides, but have always been reluctant to do so. I'm not sure I can really give you a good reason why, which would make sense to you and to other forum members reading this post - many thanks once again.

Since first creating this thread and posting to the members forum, I have adjusted the on screen format and have rewritten many sections of the user guide. It now reads much better and has more detail.

Great job @Captain WH Rollins you are really a pillar of information.

When I first started playing the game of Airport City, and then signed up to the members forum, user guides did not exist. It would have been invaluable if they had, it would have made a big difference to my game.

Hope all is well in your gaming world.

Following a really good afternoon lunch with the family, I have finished (famous last words) updating this user guide, and have re-written quite a number of the paragraphs, to try and make things a little clearer for those who are new to the game of Airport City.

It has taken almost a year since your suggestion, but I have finally inserted screenshots, what do you think? I will live with it for a period of time, and see.

Well, for me, it looks better because then I don't need to imagine what the "buttons" you're talking about in this particular guide look like. Especially if I am new to the game. I would probably not used to all the buttons available without going back to my game to check it out.

Another idea: maybe you don't need to post the same pictures multiple times? When you explain in the beginning, you can put the picture of all buttons available (like the pictures now) but then, maybe when you're talking about specific button, then you can just show the specific button itself. A lot more work, though.

Many thanks for your post and for expressing your thoughts, there is stil much work to do. Not really happy with the way it currently looks, far too much in my face, when complared to the font and font size. I will try out a number of other ideas, including your suggeston, and see how it then looks. Many thanks.

@crescent moon and @Harcourt - when you both have a free moment I would be very grateful for your help with the following matter. If you go to the 7TH ICON BUTTON - GAME SITE MANAGEMENT you will see quite a number of buildings listed which can be placed on both sides of the game. I'm sure there are a few more buildings and structures which I do not have but you both do. I would be pleased if you would check and let me know.

Alien Legacy, Planetariums and Astronaut Academy can only be place in the city side. I think there's are loads more power buildings which can be placed both side:
- Tesla Power plant
- Power plant
- Wind turbine
- Solar Power station
- Nuclear Power plant
- Electrical Substation
