The main difficulty of a game shouldn't be the handling of the userinterface. But in this case... If you ever find out how to create a schedule or buy a train without tutorial/help you are good. Anyway, even if you know it you are still bound to those damned arrow-buttons to select a vehicle or a good. If you have built something do not forget to click on the ok-button. Closing the panel in another way will make everything disappear again. And therefore never touch the right mouse button - it closes dialogs and panels. Unfortunately there are no height levels in the game. You may build bridges and tunnels anyway to cross obstacles, but the lack of height is a poor thing and makes the maps somewhat boring. No signalling system. It has been promised in a patch, but... No 45 degree tracks. Peter
