Transport Fever 2 - How To Make Money With Planes

[@mu5ic1]

You actually can fit a second runway. At least on the big airports; I've seen it at twitch. Its under 'Misc'..

[@nikolaibaier8853]

Thats good that planes are now kind of profitable in TF1 they were unessecary

[@raneyal7051]

When you built the airport, you state that it costs a ton of money, however - much of the cost you had was for the terrain modification that was needed to flatten the area, not the airport itself.

[@TheCreat]

A small airport is a flat 5 million I think, without terrain modification. You can build a small to medium sized train network for that one airport. And you need at least one more. The large one (that he has built) is I think 10 million or more base cost (not quire sure)? They really are expensive, to the point where the terrain modification isn't necessarily a major percentage (but it seems it was at least a third of the cost, or thereabouts).

[@dfor]

@@TheCreat by the time you factor in locomotive and railcar costs, a small train line (for example a crude to oil to fuel line plus the trucks for final delivery, all fairly close together) will be in the neighborhood of $10mil for just 2 trains plus the line. For a full operation line with 5+ trains you'll be pushing 25 mil and that's before you get into more expensive trains.

[@downfallofderuntergang]

Imagine being a pilot and have to fly a plane 5 monthes

[@downfallofderuntergang]

It was not confirmed, it is also said to only have flown twice and were escorted with 4 B36s. But nonetheless these planes are not nuclear powered but they never crash so I guess we'll never find out.

[@blondeguy08]

Parallax the part of the story that a lot of people are not familiar is while the US designed and successfully tested this concept it was the Soviets that actually built it because they didn’t really care about the radiation exposure like the US did so they managed to keep the aircraft relatively light weight using a unique shielding design along with a single loop reactor design (less safety/easier/lighter). Ironically enough that was 50 years ago and now nuclear ram jets have again peaked Russia’s interest and that it was rumored that’s what they were testing when they had a large explosion at one of their nuclear/weapons testing complexes last August.

[@gattonpc]

@Parallax An airplane flying for 6 months.. without stoping.. OK.. let's see something that will not actualy work.. a simple way is that how the fuck you clean your plane wings and fuselage off the debries that will build up over that period.. and how that plane will actualy still flying just because of that matter only.? Not to mention the area you said those planes will fly.. Nordic one.. how about the ice building up on those planes in the air. They will friking drop like a hammers after a period of time or simple desintegrate.

[@DennisVlaanderen]

Passengers have different travelling habits based on the class of passenger. Class 1 passengers prefer cheaper forms of transport whereas class 5 want the fastest transport possible regardless of cost. Even so running passengers over long distance is the best option and then use a train network to diverge them from the airport.

[@FerociousHypercube]

Is there information on passenger class anywhere in the game so a player can decide which transport to choose in a particular situation?

[@DennisVlaanderen]

@@FerociousHypercube It's based on the building tiers in each city. T1 Buildings are Low Income, T2 are Med income and T3 are high income. Generally High Income prefers speed over costs.

[@FerociousHypercube]

@@DennisVlaanderen gonna run tests considering this info, thanks

[@Seris.]

This makes so little sense, not the tutorial but the the whole idea of a plane making money for distance and taking months to get there. :D

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Yeah don't the question the logic of it xD

[@RubberDucky999]

This game is broken... meeh i'll skip

[@matt666pbone]

The months part is flawed, but the idea of the plane making more with distance is true. The part of operating that most strains a plane is takeoff and landing, so the more time in air between takeoff and landing the better. At least in passenger airlines, long haul flights make more due to more expensive tickets, and only cost marginally more because of fuel.

[@RubberDucky999]

@@matt666pbone True, but that should only because there is no other transportation network that are more efficient, i like to see how prices change when local and cheaper methods of fuel transportation are made.

[@RubberDucky999]

@@tbird-z1r You should in essence be able to make the plane route unsustainable if you had closer ways of transporting the fuel.

[@chengong388]

Planes are just ludicrously overpowered especially on bigger maps. Start a map with the largest size and longest aspect, do exactly what he’s doing here across the long edge, and you can be making like 20mil a year with one 757.

[@23nine]

You shoud also take care that the *rate* of the lines match. In this case, the truck line should have double the rate of the airline because two units of crude oil are needed for one unit of refined oil. You can check the rate in the line statistics panel.

[@GMCRaptor]

In the Truck Station by the Airport you didn’t have to make that C-shape road, you can add another exit from the side you need.

[@crazywithbricks8344]

They do actually have an option where you can add an extra runway. It is in the MISC option when configuring.

[@diplodok8]

[@megadeth1231]

Is the "full load" function gone? why not set a line with full load at least on the first airport?

[@ericdurnell5484]

This is my first time watching you, and I thought I clicked the wrong thumbnail and got David Feherty.

[@MrMattumbo]

Bit cheesy, but this could be a fun way to start a game because it looks like if done right you can be printing money within a few years.

[@mr.goodcat582]

MrMattumbo Yeah, but to start you need close to 50mln.

[@TicoTorres]

You should use the full load function on all your vehicles to be more efficiant :)

[@vadikunc]

Great tutorial. Great demonstration. Thank you for the tips.

[@brianofwar]

You should have compared it with the train line you suggested to see what the difference in profit would be

[@flobiish]

Good thoughts on using transport effectively in both directions. I'll keep that in mind.

[@Redridge07]

5 months the plane arrives ….. sounds like a good drama series

[@M-u-m-p-e-l]

You can actually change the ingame time/date ratio. Just click in the bottom right on the date and there you can change it. It just takes your plane a few "days" but hey... its something ^^"

[@Crustyfur]

Bit of incorrect info regarding the 2nd runway but you know that now :) and the placement of the airport in the hill actually set my heart racing and my OCD went off 🤣

[@IemandIemandus]

This, planely, is a good thing

[@ahmetbaykara.mp3]

I noticed in this video that It takes 6 days to taxing from the runway to the cargo area. How does the time logic work in the game? Did you increase the time scale or its just 1x?

[@GamezBeatz]

I think you can exploit this. When you have 2 cities meet their fuel consumption. You should try to transfer only the fuel by plane from both cities to eachother. And delivery the fuel from the airport to the cities. By doing so, the planes will have a full load when departing from both airports.

[@carljohnson621]

What I just do is create some railway lines that connect to a single, huge city at either sides of the map, without connecting said lines to the others. For example, I create railway lines 1, 2 and 3 to a single city. Then I create railway lines 4, 5 and 6 to another city. Lines 1-3 can connect to each other, 4-6 can, too, just remember not to mix any line from 1-3 to 4-6, and viceversa. Then stick an airport to the main city of each set of lines and it'll make you some profit (it works for me)

[@demetriparker5396]

Omg dude, you are good. Thanks to you i was able to set a few airports making me $ 75 mln a year

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Nice going! What are you shipping?

[@mistertitus6814]

And, challenge ruined, just like that.

[@surfingdrunk6888]

There is definitely an additional runway you can plop down. I dont know how to unlock it but I had it available in my game

[@Stealth17Gaming]

Yeah same. My info on that was incorrect in the video. I just haven't been able to pinpoint if there's a date limit when it becomes available.

[@sabrakt]

Stealth17 Gaming Yep. The date is 1980. It doesn’t make much sense that we’d have to wait that long for second runways, but that’s how it is.

[@TheDivineGuider]

Great tip! Looking forward to trying on release

[@ivansherbinin]

Easily fixable by the cost being calculated from the closest source opportunity to that town and not from the one that you've chosen. The cost should be solid, not floating. It also would make a lot of sense. I hope they will fix that. You will still need planes - both for passengers and for those resources that actually are distant from the target city.

[@ryanpayne9119]

6:52: Bombardier pronounced bomb bard eh. Its the name of the manufacturer, not the aircraft. Its a bit like calling a sedan a Ford. Anyway, it'd be nice if the airports were a bit more flexible. Runways, IRL, are not perfectly flat (I used to work at a small airport where the east end of the 3,000ft runway was 50 feet higher than the west end.) The grass does not need to be perfectly level. You can have a cliff off the end of the runway (steel towers for the approach lights are far cheaper than landscaping.) Retaining walls can be built. You get the idea. Airports could be far cheaper if the game didn't force you to make them as flat as Kansas.

[@TheCreat]

Reportedly airports work well now for passengers, too. I personally haven't tested it, but they seem to be viable. let's hope so. Obviously only for situations where planes actually make sense, so going across half the map or further, not hopping over to the next town.

[@mrhein1986]

this give me soooo much transport tycoon vibes

[@zorkwhouse8125]

I have one question: it clearly showed that the plane was earning more than enough to cover its upkeep, with a significant amount of additional profits coming in. Does that amount shown also account for the upkeep/maintenance etc for both of the airports also? Or is that number also included with the other numbers shown? My computer's monitor is kinda lousy and so even zoomed in a bit I can't read things well enough to answer the question myself. Also - I apologize if you actually answered my question in the narration already and I just missed it. Oops, one more: is the full game available on Steam now? Thank you for the video/content - looks like a cool game. This info, and the other tutorials, will definitely be helpful once I can pick up the game (if it is available now I probably can't afford it yet, but I'll definitely pick it up once I'm able.

[@Stealth17Gaming]

No, as far as I know the cost/gains chart that you see on the plane only covers the plane's own costs. In the profit/loss statement you can see the gains from all lines + airport costs. The game will be available next week

[@zorkwhouse8125]

[@vengxance]

are all those planes in the Buy section readily available in the vanilla game or u have mods installed?

[@RRW359]

I'm thinking of getting this but haven't yet. What's the difference between the different kinds of airfields/airports? I noticed that various lists categorise aircraft as "light" and "heavy". Is it like Transport Fever 1 where you can put any aircraft in any airport with the medium/large ones being more efficient, or is it like Locomotion where you will need to upgrade your initial airports in order to even use later aircraft?

Hellow there and happy new year, Does this technique of transporting fuel on planes works in Transport Fever one?

[@lolovest]

Seeing such game doesn't reflect to reality: truck cargoing crude oil shouldn't run in the downtown; second, in the air field, shouldn't be birds flying within there, both could cause huge trouble. But considering even people could walk through any trees and objects, I don't find it unlikely to happen.

[@hatecrewsix2]

I just spotted here the same problems with TF1, no enough runways, peps don't pay to long-range flys. etc. they just changed the aesthetics but not the logic.

[@Stealth17Gaming]

You can add runways as needed. The airports are modular.

[@spaghettibadger647]

I imagine the best use would be as part of a frieght hub where it may be taking one product out but bringing another back

[@Trifler500]

Since the plane has a top speed of 850, but never exceeded 350 speed, would it make sense to consider planes with lower top speed?

[@ill3260]

The plane reached a little over 700 kmh before decelerating again, it would be good to consider using a slower plane anyways. You cant pick a plane thats too slow because it wouldnt be going back and forth often enough to make money

[@Trifler500]

Question: why not use an airfield instead of an airport, wouldn’t be cheaper?

[@mostalajnen66]

Thanx for the info, but i think if you let the trucks deliver alot of oil before you start the planes may save some money ? or does the airfield dont accept cargo if you dont have a airline ?

No the airport doesn't accept cargo that it doesn't have a destination for. Production chains only work if all parts are fulfilled by a vehicle.
