Career Game Promotions
When you complete a city, you'll have the choice of going to another city at the same level or to a city at the next level. The number of points you need to advance stays the same as you advance. The points are more difficult to get at higher levels.
You'll get a fly-through every time you pick a new Career City. Hit the Escape key to bypass the fly-through and get right to work.
Odds and Ends
Quick Changes to User Cities
You can change the complexion and flavor of a User City by loading it into SimCity 2000 or SCURK, rotating it 90, 180 or 270 degrees, then saving it. SimCopter will assign North to a different side of the city.
Damage done to buildings in a User City in SimCopter will still be there when that city is loaded back into SimCity 2000.
Adding Your Own Radio Station
Here's how to create and add your own radio station.
Place your favorite tunes in a folder called MUSIC. These tunes must be .WAV files.
Place this MUSIC folder into a folder which has a "station" name that you have given to it.
Place your Station folder into the folder named "Stations" which is in the Radio folder, which in turn is in the SimCopter sound folder.
Day and Night
Patrolling a city at night has some rewards. City skylines take on a singular beauty, and fires can really light up a sky. Toggle the day and night views with Control-D for a whole different look at things.
Sharing the Skies
The skies over most cities are busy. You share the skies with other aircraft. In the last city, there's a... well, we're not exactly sure what it is. Not to worry. There's plenty of room for all of you.
Unfortunately, other aircraft tend to crash and start fires.
