The Lancsbus Omnidecker is a recreation of Scania's first low-floor double decker buses from the start of the 21st century, with modern looks for the time. As an older bus, it has simpler controls and less computerisation, but we aim to recreate even the smallest detail of operation. This addon includes two lengths and two door variations, based...

would rather spend £12.49 for this than £30 on Cardiff Network lol

[strong quiver]

just be careful your steam may take a bit to validate your files

[queen summit]

thanks for letting me know

[gleaming lagoon]

Just waiting for more liveries now 😂 the only true livery on a dekka is Brighton & Hove 3!! 🤣

[blazing ingot]

Awaiting approval on Fellowsfilm 😮

[late sparrow]

Yeah but those are static only

[low hearth]

yeah ive seen

i suppose the route will actually use e citaros?

[late sparrow]

I think so, they didn't plan on adding any new bus

[low hearth]

i dont mind

[slate monolith]

[blazing ingot]

I have converted Jem and George to playing buses 😂

[hazy mesa]

It‘s a good step to the correct way tho

[blazing ingot]

Woah 😮

Thats def not omsi

[strong quiver]

Its a good thing it says Bus Simulator__s__ of all kind then eh

[junior pecan]

What is it?

[strong quiver]

The Bus

[wet zodiac]

Hehe yeah, i named is The Bus before but changed it for all Bus sims cuz yeah

Everything doesn’t evolve around The Bus

[blazing ingot]

Fellowsfilm Admins approve files when

[strong quiver]

it's still WIP

unless you meant your ones then

[queen summit]

Holy shit

that's cool

seriously, that's a nice amout of bus routes you have there

[blazing ingot]

One of mine

Aint mine but I mod the dudes server

and will prolly beta test when it comes to it

[queen summit]

Regardless I look forward to more progress

fuck me talk about volume warning TML

[green coyote]

Isn't that 3rd party not from TML

[wet zodiac]

yeah its made by Halycon

[eternal dome]

mmm hbf

[signal mist]

Hmm

No idea how controversial this is

But I don't think The Bus looks very good

Like the graphics overall

Just looks off

[eternal dome]

It looks okay to my eyes but physics to my eyes is the most concerning part - the bus seems to be handling like a toy car when I watched the gameplay videos on youtube

[strong quiver]

Its a slight improvement with a steering wheel and pedals

But only slight

[green coyote]

idk, I think it looks like standard Unreal 5 game

[blazing ingot]

So shite then lmao

[signal mist]

If that's default UE5 then oof

[green coyote]

Physics aren't the greatest, but it's still pretty fun

I'll stream it tomorrow if u want to know more about it

[cedar phoenix]

can i do roblox two?

[strong quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/disgusting-disgusted-steve-harvey-gross-gif-18516272

[queen summit]

you already have a channel for that

[eternal dome]

has anyone experienced on Omsi 2 Hamburg Linie 20 where the eCitaro randomly loses its power?

is there a recovery from this>

[pliant ingot]

Yeah, that’s a known issue with the eCitaro on Hamburg Linie 20. It could be due to battery depletion or a script bug. Try checking the logfile or reinstalling the bus. Sadly, there’s no in-game recovery unless charging stations are set up.

[low hearth]

when i saw this first thing

i genuinely thought it was AI buses

then i reminded myself that MP is a core feature of P3

then all that sadness just surrounded me

[hazy mesa]

Well i hope they improve AI traffic first

[low hearth]

true

[terse heath]

does it have more wheel support or is it still clunky and limited to logitech wheels

[signal mist]

The Solaris model doesn't look half bad

Positively surprised

Not sure about that destination display cutting off though

[green coyote]

where's the AI busses and the economy stuff?

[slim marlin]

ill be honest ive always liked the bus tbh

its not a bad sim

[hazy mesa]

it's in Phase 3

https://trello.com/b/kGhFZOke/the-bus-early-access-roadmap

[low hearth]

bus does not look that bad sadly its previewed on a stinky computer

atleast the charging feature has been shown

[low hearth]

i forgot about the existence of this room

never knew they improved it for MP

[hazy mesa]

that's sick icl

[green coyote]

this looks like a new area, don't recognize it from my playthroughs

also price increase planned, grateful I got in when it was still 20USD

[hazy mesa]

Which is normal

[low hearth]

same LOL

[green coyote]

well worth it at that price

[hazy mesa]

Wait it's already out?

thought that was for 16 april 💀

[low hearth]

sladworks also working on a soundmod

[low hearth]

i actually dont know either

ok nvm

its people from the closed beta

[hazy mesa]

explains

[wet zodiac]

No but it’s ready for it. Some have gotten some kind of “closed beta “ too test it out

[hazy mesa]

I see

[green coyote]

It's not closed beta, it's influencers getting it early, some of the people with access can barely drive a vehicle

[wet zodiac]

Then how come some have the “closed beta” role and “closed beta modding”

[green coyote]

I mean this guy doesn't even open the back door at all, they just let ETS2 influencers get it early to raise interest

https://youtu.be/LPHF8kddlwQ

[wet zodiac]

True but some are part of the Closed Beta program. I just watched a video from yesterday and it seemed like Multiplayer was also new for him

He didn’t even know that TML used a fake brand for the Solaris😂

[true mantle]

Multiplayer?

Digga, I'm so happy rn

its out

Wrong Victoria, this one is respectable

I'm sorry WHATplatz?

[hazy mesa]

What's wrong with Goebel? lol

[red sapphire]

started work on a new reskin, Connexxion (well, formerly, now STV)

[red sapphire]

I thought it related to Goebels, y'know, that guy

oi @sly warren look 'ere m8 oy'm en yokshur

oh y'all don't have bloody bus stop? outrageous

signalling left for stations is trippy

[sly warren]

wait until you see hail and ride

(literally is no bus stop)

it just announces "hail and ride, Waterloo road" or whatever

afaik only London has it though

322 has it in omsi

[red sapphire]

sendin er to the depot cuz she's actin up

(battery no worky)

[red sapphire]

I meant the function

busstop

that holds the bus in place

cuz y'know, creep

[strong quiver]

https://tenor.com/view/hairyhareishere-hwhat-what-gif-25500966

[red sapphire]

buses hav automatic transmissions, which creep forwards/backwards

thus the busstop, which you activate, to make it stay in place

station brake I believe it's called in OMSI

[sly warren]

hand brake

most of our buses need it to be on for the doors

at least in London

[red sapphire]

exactly, but no

NOT a handbrake

it's released by accelerating

[sly warren]

no I mean

we use hand break

[red sapphire]

I kniw

I know*

that's what's baffling to me

[sly warren]

seems normal to me

maybe because I never drive European buses except citaro

which doesn't require you to use the hand break so

autocorrect likes break more than brake

[blazing ingot]

Not a London thing as New Milton and some routes outside towards Lymington have it

[sly warren]

oh

probably a uk thing

[red sapphire]

the C2 doesn't, as it applies the station stop automatically when braking

but on the O530, you manually apply it

[sly warren]

i dont think there is a C2 with rhd for omsi

[red sapphire]

weird

our O530s need the station brake manually set

[summer brook]

building an omsi map has made me realize how old the game actually is

its super cancerous

[red sapphire]

oi mate @sly warren

[sly warren]

odd plate u got there

didnt realise O530s were made during August 1972 to July 1973

[red sapphire]

lmao

random generation is a helluva drug

by the by, you got any idea how I can get a renown with a flipdot display?

[sly warren]

no clue

[red sapphire]

much better

[glossy solar]

it'll be in the repaint .cti file

check the manual, can't remember what the setvar is

[red sapphire]

oof

[terse heath]

there is privately

but what we truly need is rhd solaris

[eternal dome]

anyone know how to fix this

on the newest hamburg map that comes with linie 20

I get this weird destination board error on route 111 for bf altona

and it's annoying lol

quite unpleasant to look at

[sly warren]

cold

[balmy junco]

i think there is a better hof file on omsi webdisk

[eternal dome]

I shall look into that

the announcements don't play either

[late sparrow]

You used the new Hof file right? Try using "1_HC_2017" / "Hamburg (HHA 2015)" instead

thank you so much - it works really nice!

[hazy mesa]

yeah

no problem

[wet zodiac]

I have just gotten OMSI 2 and im playing on a laptop without number pads. I have seen on youtube that its possible to play without the number pads and change the controls or keybinds. Does somebody know how to change it and if there is a way to get perhaps some kind of template that i can use? Is that possible in OMSI 2?

[strong quiver]

Ingame settings to change keybinds

[wet zodiac]

yeah I've fixed somethings now

How do i fix this?

Absolute horrid resolution but yeah😕

ur missing fonts for the bus 🙂

and the destination

[wet zodiac]

I tried getting the system to work but nothing happened. Yet the passengers knew that it was the right bus.

[wet zodiac]

Does anyone know how to help me with this problem?

[strong quiver]

can you be more specific

[wet zodiac]

Okay I cant see the digits/ number that i type in in the IBIS system. This time it also wouldnt show me the route either since it found it to be "incorrect". But before i drove that service i typed in another bus service but that worked. And now the ultimate problem that i have is that the Destination wont work on any modded bus that i have.

[strong quiver]

UhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHhhh.

Does the bus use the same HOF as the map and is it compatible with the dest display firstly

[wet zodiac]

I have put the Spandau HOF in the folder for the Mercedes and other buses that i have. Although I'm not sure if its compatible with the dest display

oh yeah for sure

god if they touch london

i will be highly concerned

i could also think of RM Developments (add on london creator) since they have not posted their route 94 news in ages

[sly warren]

94 W

totally not my local route

if it gets done someone should include the ding ding trials

what is actually going on with RM Developments, Rhys has been like dead silent for ages

[low hearth]

they are active in TML

rhys has been silent with 94 tho

and of course forever silent with project hackney

TML Studios

Silent with the AOL Update and the Regional E200 too

do they have a website

i click to a random point ant see this 😭

and they actually say that

[wet zodiac]

Are there any recommendations for DLCs for OMSI 2. Ive been quite interested in the Bremen DLC but i have heard from others that the Berlin X10 and Hamburg DLCs are also good?

[late sparrow]

Hohenkirchen, Hamburg DLCs, Berlin X10, Aachen, Bremen-Nord, Urbino Stadtbus Familie, MAN Standardbus ||, Yorkshire Counties, Bad Hügelsdorf 2020, MAN Citybus Series, MAN Stadtbus New Lion's City, S41X LE Business Series, München, all human packs

The add-on is definitely worth recommending. The map is well-designed and has been actively developed and expanded over the years. The developer kept it up to date until recently and is now working on a new add-on focused on Bremen-South. There are two versions of the map (pre and post 2011 line changes) featuring various chronology events, detours and other dynamic elements. The included bus is also well-made. The only downside is the limited content, it's focused on a small part of Bremen-North with only a few lines which can feel repetitive. But in terms of quality and design it’s top notch

[wet zodiac]

Ah alright. Sounds nice. I looked at the reviews and people mentioned “non functioning AI vehicles “ and lagging. Is that something I should be worried about or has Halycon fixed that over time?

Ewwwwwwww

this sunday at midday hopefully

[glossy solar]

£15 though and doesn't seem like any discount if you own the DF but I haven't watched the stream yet so who knows

not exactly a good sign that the SP guy said on stream that the new sounds aren't ready yet

[sly warren]

yh

no discount btw

at all

[glossy solar]

mm nice
i guess there is a part that is "they're 2 different buses so no offers" but also they're mostly the same besides the front

yh

[devout orchid]

not a fan of the WF anyway, so will not be picking it up

[sly warren]

i might get it mostly for the london spec

[devout orchid]

i only really use buses that are in use, or were in use in my city, and i dont think we had any WF's up here

im highly certain that is BS25 to be revealed right in there

[wet zodiac]

Yeah lets see

[low hearth]

another US theme map tho

dang

[wet zodiac]

Well I hope that there will an European version too. Honestly I don't get why they are focusing on the US. Buses are generally viewed badly there ( from what i know). If they want something in North America I honestly think Mexico would be cooler. With their new bus fleet and interesting BRT system.

[hazy mesa]

unfortunate, but no surprise there

[somber hill]

LOL!!

[somber hill]

The Bus Smulator Franchise belongs Astragon. This teaser is from Saber and Still Alive. I DO know that Astragon's next bus sim takes place in Portugal.

[glossy solar]

still alive are the developers though so may have gone to a different publisher

not sure how likely that is but its something

[late sparrow]

How do you know? That sounds cool

[low hearth]

[low hearth]

its been 1 hour 40 and no signs of the reveal yet

[wet zodiac]

yeah

its taking some time

[low hearth]

finally

oh?

thats a whole new name

this looks good tho

[sly warren]

reminds me of bus sim 21

[low hearth]

probably because it is part of the bus sim series lol

[sly warren]

oh

lmao

[low hearth]

actually

idek atp

well

[sly warren]

hmm

[late sparrow]

Did they split from astragon?

[low hearth]

yeah

[wet zodiac]

Hmm interesting

[green coyote]

If the physics are good, that game looking like a good purchase

Over a dozen buses at launch is intriguing

[low hearth]

to me it looks decent

just took a proper look at everything

[somber hill]

i...have a history. I was a beta tester for BS21 Next Stop and the Tram Sim Urban Transit spin off.

[somber hill]

Its not

So, the Bus Simulator franchise belongs to Stragon. Even before Still Alive, Astragon had other studios work on earlier versions, like TML. Astragon i hear is indeed working on the next bus sim with a new studio.

[green coyote]

I'm wondering what the roster of buses could even be, I'm assuming there's going to be some creative repeats to reach that "over a dozen" mark

[somber hill]

New Flyer is already a plus!

[green coyote]

is it confirmed its strictly US themed?

I know the buses we've seen are all american vehicles, but I don't see how they can have that big of a roster without buses from other countries

[devout orchid]

The description does mention licensed American buses

[somber hill]

in al honesty, we have a lot more buses than most think. andeach one with various options for models Look how many MAN buses we had in the BS18/21 series. Look at the number of Benz buses. Those two alone almost made a dozen give or take

[blazing ingot]

I need to use my fictional 35/X35 livery a bit more

how else do i murder half of london with emissions

[green coyote]

Content creators have posted videos of the CTS buses already

[low hearth]

yeah

https://youtu.be/84fXJxnoVEA watching this rn

[green coyote]

Do the physics seem realistic based off the video

[low hearth]

yeah

bus looks stiff and heavy to steer

which i like

force feedback, according to brit ace is also good

i can also hear rattling when a bus just moves/goes over a curb which is neat

[junior pecan]

looks kinda arcade like to me. Will try it, can always refund if I dont like

[green coyote]

It definitely sounds good from the videos I've watched

Wished they gave a key to a real bus driver and not YouTube influencers

[wet zodiac]

https://youtu.be/umJ6Tlb3TmU?si=v_6BzyADNtSsZmh3

Looks decent from this video

Btw do they have plans to add modding to the game?

Because the only thing I don’t like is basically the map

It’s boring

At least for me

[green coyote]

Wow, YouTube auto dubbed iajer's video lol

[bright lake]

I think it's used enabled

Some channels who could have it don't

[cursive spruce]

oh come on :(

you cant just remove the most iconic part of the bus

(the PIS)

[green coyote]

There's no farebox either, people just walk in

[late sparrow]

No

[hazy mesa]

ofcourse not 😂

it's ViewApp no surprise there at this point

[wet zodiac]

Bruh. I honestly kinda liked how you start up the bus but yeah. Im not sure if I will get it or not

[late sparrow]

Yeah just imagine what we could've gotten with Modding Tools back then in TramSim

And they keep comparing CTS Bus to OMSI and claiming that its nearly the same level, honestly baffling to see that there are no modding tools planned or even considered

[slim marlin]

im probably gonna get it for the custom route stuff

i love making my own routes all over the place and such

and integrating them with other lines

[bright lake]

I do like the integration of tram + bus, it makes the game a lot more valuable, and knowing that Vienna will be coming later too, I don't see any reason why I should skip on it personally

The combo is pretty good and thus far people have been saying that the buses do feel pretty good to drive

[wet zodiac]

Yeah i honestly kinda like their bus implementation. I like the physics too but it doesn’t seem better than Omsi 2. Btw are third party DLCs something that they are considering?

[bright lake]

They were during the TramSim era, but no word about that for CTS

[slim marlin]

problem that deters me from omsi is the HORRENDOUS performance

[bright lake]

Performance on CTS I think is surprisingly good considering how TramSim was

[wet zodiac]

https://tenor.com/view/skull-bruh-fr-bruh-fr-fr-bruh-fr-bruhhh-gif-25349553

[bright lake]

I'm gonna say, for their situation I don't think it's a good idea to consider it too early

There might be risks now that they are independently publishing

They need to have a more solid plan and base to be able to do that

and it starts with having a well established game, CTS is getting there but is not yet at that stage

[wet zodiac]

Yeah fair point. Well i at least hope that they consider it in the future.

It seems decent so far

[late sparrow]

They are not independently publishing. They have a Co-Publisher called NPLAY Games

[bright lake]

well this one's a bit of a wonder because NPLAY is a youtube channel (former Nordrheintvplay was it?), so idk what exactly he does overall, what's for sure is that it's just not written on the steam page

[late sparrow]

Modding would automatically give a solid foundation

[late sparrow]

He explained it in his video but it's in german though

[bright lake]

I can understand some but it's too basic to get the gist of it

[late sparrow]

https://nplay.games/

[bright lake]

Interessant, well it's still fairly vague but well, ViewApp does take most of the slack in this case it seems still

[green coyote]

Game is now out, let me know your thoughts

[glossy solar]

WC3 timetable mod is nice, plus my own AI list

[hazy mesa]

would've been great but they decided to ditch that game ; then go to tramsim munich ; to do the same to now have CTS And it wouldn't surprise me they'll ever do it aswell

[bright lake]

No TramSim Vienna and Munich were getting support at the same time because the core was the same

[unborn helm]

more!!!!!!!!!

[slim marlin]

by far my favourite livery

[cursive spruce]

are the physics good?

[junior pecan]

I like it, fully expected not to like and be refunding, but I like it. Physics feel as good as OMSI

Doesnt seem to support track ir as far as I can see though

Not really touched the trams yet

[hazy mesa]

Might need to give it a try

[cursive spruce]

hmmm

👀

might buyyy

[slim marlin]

honestly the bus physics feel nice but im on controller so

defo a lot nicer than stuff like bus simulator 21

but not as good as omsi

so a decent balance

[green coyote]

Do the different buses feel different from each other?

[worldly quail]

idk if I'd say they're that different when just driving (physics wise), but there are definitely some noticable differences between them

door controls/behaviour is different, and it seems the NL205's blinkers don't automatically cancel (pain)

haven't gotten around to trying the articulated buses yet though

[cursive spruce]

thats realistic btw

[worldly quail]

yeah I figured it would be

[green coyote]

That's an improvement from the Bus where the non electric buses feel very similar to each other

[hazy mesa]

And compared to The Bus? Would you say it's better or worse in terms on handling?

[slim marlin]

I’d say it feels tighter than the bus if that makes sense

Idk if that’s a good or bad thing

[hazy mesa]

Yeah decided to try it myself ; if i could've changed the axis a bit myself i think wit a controller it would've been alright

But seems like that isn't the case ; or atleast i was no able to find the axis control

[slim marlin]

There’s not a lot u can do with a controller atm which is a shame, I put my progressive steering down to low and it’s not too bad honestly

[hazy mesa]

Quite a shame honnestly

@hazy mesa TB devs be going crazy

Atleast they‘re straight

And it shows that they‘re willing to change stuff

[strong quiver]

spose

[hazy mesa]

So ye let‘s hope something good comes out of it

[low hearth]

LOL???

i mean its a good response

[terse heath]

it cant be that difficult to understand whats wrong with the physics 😭

same devs who also ignored feedback saying physics were off and too arcadey from fernbus

hell, they didnt even learn their lesson and fix/implemented more wheels to be compatible with the game outside of logislop wheels

[jovial shadow]

BVG Berlin MAN SD83 3259 at the depot, U Altstadt Spandau, and Bergstr in 1991.

[hazy mesa]

i got no issue with my thrustmaster T818 on that regard tbf

[terse heath]

I’ve had issues with fernbus not willing to connect with the thrustmaster tmx and the bus in early stages and that was more than enough to put me off from getting it

[hazy mesa]

Fairly understandable i just hope TML does get to learn their lesson and actually learns from the feedback that will be given cuz it has potentional but TML needs to willingly change their physics

[terse heath]

I’m sorry, but it can’t be those two alone there’s more to be iron out

[hazy mesa]

oh ofcourse they got a long way to go

[terse heath]

I have no hopes for the physics change

Fernbus was nearly close to being perfect, all it needed was a few physics tweaks and better controller support/implementation and it would’ve been perfect to play aside from omsi

[hazy mesa]

We'll see i'm willing to give them a change on it ; otherwise in worst case they should've let us to allow to mod bus physics

[strong quiver]

tourist bus simulator had potential

this is nice i guess

however i still think we are very far off from AI buses

theres a clip where a bus just crashes into a pole lmao

[sly warren]

does it have peak rush hour crowding

[hazy mesa]

Would be nice to have it like a random event of it happening cuz it can happen irl aswell

It still need a few Months

[halcyon sedge]

weeeeelllllll...

[sly warren]

ur cooked

[halcyon sedge]

I know

Im itching for bus simulation though and omsi seems like the only good sim out there

[halcyon sedge]

goddamn this shit is IN DEPTH wtf

cars on the road change between political events during the time you select ???? wtf

[green coyote]

The OMSI glazing has gotten out of hand, it's the best in terms of simulation, but runs like complete ass and looks terrible

The View app bus Sim isn't that bad in terms of simulation, just don't like the map, but it's like 70% of the way there in terms of physics

If you have a wheel

[eternal dome]

Omsi runs better than g mod lol but yeah still bad

[halcyon sedge]

im getting solid 60

though christ the drivinv in this game seems pretty ass

[eternal dome]

AI vehicles are pretty dumb so better turn off the AI collision

just had a taxi run into me out of nowhere and I rage quit

[strong quiver]

Just a pc skill issue

[sly warren]

I mean it runs okay but it does look a bit old

[blazing ingot]

Does anyone know if the B2/B3 and B4 on Bowdenham have low bridges?

[strong quiver]

The manual will advise which buses to use

If it says single decker then its low bridge

[blazing ingot]

Re downloads Bowdenham just for the manual

No mention in the manual about which routes have low bridges

Like this table exists, but the B6 for example can be run using deckers fine

[blazing ingot]

Taking the big bastard out on the B6

Going to be fun taking a 12m bus down the back streets

are there any real good guides out there that explain how all the shit in omsi works?

What the hell

https://youtu.be/MR1913Q0uSk?si=J6YQcJjVDP-RT21s

It’s Not England

[bright lake]

Architecture is very Southern Italy to me

And likely without Stillalive Studios anymore too

[low hearth]

i believe this was Portugal that was leaked in the first place anyway?

or atleast, guessed

[bright lake]

there actually was a leak?

[wise drift]

It’s Not DTG?

[bright lake]

Also as usual

everything they can to avoid the UK

[wise drift]

No StillAlive is by Saber with Bus Bound

[bright lake]

Regardless of whether it's Italy as I thought or Portugal as a potential leak might suggest

these are such obscure places when there's been quite a large demand for a UK bus sim, and that the only option is in OMSI

[bright lake]

yeah what I thought. And it just seems like they're gonna try to save as many assets from Bus Sim 21 as they possibly can without really tweaking them. Nothing against asset reuse that's normal in the industry, but they might take on the fairly bad side of the practice

The Alexander Dennis in the thumbnail is just the exact same replica than in Bus Sim 21, and it's fair to think that it might be with the same sounds and functions, which were often rated as mid at best

[wise drift]

Bus Simulator was always poor Quality with terrible physics

[bright lake]

That's why it doesn't look particularly encouraging. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt but the first impression is that they're just already failing to consider what the market really needs

[wise drift]

It’s the only game with Mercedes and Setra license
OMSI and TML Studios all unbranded

[bright lake]

which is...Crazy, I still don't get what's the issue with other studios getting a Mercedes licence especially

[wise drift]

Maybe they don’t wanna pay the expensive price for the license

[wise drift]

https://youtu.be/WQkpugFKJyY?si=DKKn45XtRsKkMfwx

[somber hill]

From what I remember with BS21, MB is specific on how their buses appear in a game. It's to exact specs they sign off on. A game like The Bus with customization options to the bus parts themselves may not want them to licence. The biggest complaint about the MB buses is BS21 was how they appeared in game. And the response was it's always how Benz specifically wanted them.

It's not just the license price. There's also conditions and time restrictions

So from what I heard (and I get a lot of chirping towards me) it's Portugal, a bigger map. Buses from 21 with new ones, and a single map

I wanna see how the new dev team tackles timetables and scheduling

[wise drift]

You Can ban modifying like on racing games for Ferrari cars
It’s not an excuse

[low hearth]

i think whats funny is that more hype of a UK bus sim was shifted to roblox

[bright lake]

Well if it's the only thing left besides OMSI then yeah

[blazing ingot]

My dude, use the E200 EP 😢

[strong quiver]

i had it but idk

no liveries

was spending 20 minutes tryna get the shitty shitelite to work with dests

so i gave up

[blazing ingot]

Studio Polygon Product, what did you expect rip

[wise drift]

BS27 is Trash Because it’s the developer from Train life and taxi life

[bright lake]

Okay I'll play devil's advocate here, but it seems as though those two games are not doing well in great part because of Nacon, the publisher, they do look capable of doing something but idk, Nacon just seems to have too strong a grip there.
Sadly though that being said, Astragon doesn't look better, otherwise Stillalive would probably have not jumped ship

It's tough to see who plays what role in this but lately I've been seeing a lot of friction between devs and publishers in the simulation world

[devout orchid]

[terse heath]

package alone is barebones

but its compatible with the original with minor changes to ctc textures with addtional modelling

its semi broken as im fixing it due to incorrect reflection setup on the spilt ass tree and hannover not working (used the payware ms eg3 controller)

are the roads wide enough for playable experience

Usually just gotta wide berth it

[terse heath]

yes

the manual transmission is fun but can be a pain sometimes

its like sometimes i press the clutch fully in, release it, and the gear didnt change

i just press the number keys to shift gears and its done

The Hamburg DLC just dropped today for the Bus, anybody get it?

[hazy mesa]

Yeah i do

Whilst it is a beautiful map, it‘s quite small, has some bugs and quite a steep price

[green coyote]

The price has me waiting, but if the quality is there I might just buy it when the AI busses comes later in August

[eternal dome]

oh it has linie 6 too

didnt know

[low hearth]

i suppose it might receive expansions

same way berlin has

why can't ye brits have a bus stop button 😭

they... do?

they're red on the poles

as in the bus holding button that prevents it from rolling forward

[glossy solar]

a handbrake?

there is a halt brake if that's what you mean but it's automatic when the doors open on most newer buses

[strong quiver]

the handbrake lol

we're not primitive, we use real brakes

or just stick your foot on the brake

[red sapphire]

yea that's what I mean

but what about that being applied when you're at a ding dang stoplight like here in civilised Europe?

[glossy solar]

hand or foot brake

[red sapphire]

somebody help me
come and fix my mirrors

bri'ish weather strikes again

I do wanna add dynamic numbering to it, tho, to get romanian rolling stock numbers on it

tbf I wanna do that to the Kajosoft bus and the Citaro C2

[red sapphire]

(AKA, diese bitche, whose front number I already got gud, just gotta S T R E T C H it a bit, the rear number needs recoloring, and license plate needs license plating)

but wait, why tf does adding more resolution to a texture make it smaller? like, just make it higher res

something is not right here

i am very surprised on how the AI works

i was expecting basic physics buses

turns out its literally like a player vehicle, responding to bumps on the road and making the bus feel lively

but it does make it very performance heavy

you can also see it from the outside before it turns into a flying LOD
