Bus Simulators of all kind

[eternal dome]

how is the bus berlin

Worth getting?

(I have 1060+ hrs on omsi)

[limber monolith]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos

[wet zodiac]

Well some interesting things are happening. They are addressing the bad physics plus a new beta update has been released with AI buses. So it’s looking fairly bright at last. Maybe get it on a sale but personally I don’t necessarily think the full price is worth at the moment.

[hazy mesa]

but it is going to a good directions, and i'm glad they are actually adressing it

[wet zodiac]

Yeah definitely. It was more of a mixed bag last year compared to now

[wise drift]

All modded with BVG Logos and Solaris repaint

[eternal dome]

is that sbahn berlin Im seeing?

[low hearth]

yep

AI trains

[somber hill]

almost done with my network!

[vivid steeple]

awesome👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

[strong quiver]

yeah that looks like america

[somber hill]

Loving the AI buses!

[devout orchid]

not so York Park and Ride

[sly warren]

you are on the path

park and walk

[devout orchid]

nah, its still the road

[devout orchid]

attempt 2 as the game died at the hospital last night

2 X66 Citaro's have been replaced by Park and Ride ones

[devout orchid]

nvm, died again

[red sapphire]

me 'n' me pal

[red sapphire]

I'VE FOUND IT
A BRITISH BUS WITH A HOLD BRAKE

[sly warren]

why the fuck is that in london

[red sapphire]

reasons

[red sapphire]

I've placed an Ikarus 415T Trolleybus from Bucharest in München, and driven Rocar de Simon (a bus that existed only in Romania) in Berlin, I've done far curseder shit

[sly warren]

wtf

[red sapphire]

(also, because the mercedes benz I wanted to use has no london reskin)

[sly warren]

rip

[red sapphire]

I mean

merc bendies did run in London, no?

[sly warren]

yes

i wouldnt say they worked

[red sapphire]

oh yea, pre-facelift ones

lord

y'all made them look like our Otokar buses

[sly warren]

lmao

[red sapphire]

eh, close nuff

[sly warren]

good enough

the only thing that annoys me about that is how like

when u come to a stop

it lowers

and to raise it u have to use the accelerate

and its slow

[sly warren]

vrum

[rich wraith]

One of these two is severly delayed. And guess which one I'm driving xD

[red sapphire]

this MAN seems to be my new favorite brit vehicle

[red sapphire]

so passive-bloody-aggressive

[sly warren]

wha

e200 ftw

[red sapphire]

anyone got any idea why this bus sometimes just V I B R A T E S?

[sly warren]

it's a British bus dunno what you are expecting

also how did you make the hof show the number twice

[strong quiver]

Broken HOF

[low hearth]

absolutely crap compression

but you can identify some buses in there

like.. yeah

[eternal dome]

the xcelsior in that game looks a bit off

For some reason

[somber hill]

the Letenda

[somber hill]

they may all look a bit off as many agencies order these with different specs and options including styling.

[eternal dome]

I meant the modelling, I feel like the headlights are smaller

[limber monolith]

boos

[somber hill]

LEDs most likely. Our oldest Xcelsiors here have the older, slightly larger ones, though i think those are about to go to the scrap in the sky soon

[eternal dome]

the size of the headlights would the be the same no? the way the glass is set up for the headlights are slightly different afaik

[somber hill]

When you switch the entire production line and only offer LED, yeah. The LEDs also dont need as much as a large housing as the halogen

[low hearth]

ok

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyqB0gge0rU

you can look here now

in 4k

oh lool overhead railway

oh what bus is this one

[hazy mesa]

good question, headlights look from a MAN

[rich wraith]

Waiting for my next service

[rich wraith]

May have broken a few traffic laws, overtook two different services of the same line because of that xD

[eternal dome]

The Bus looking real good with AI Busses, I might get it during the next sale

[wet zodiac]

some weird ass mix of the MAN NLC and BYD

[somber hill]

now with two XBay companies!

[low hearth]

https://youtu.be/GVkK-zIJkGk

some gameplay

[eternal dome]

its cool that bike racks work in the game

[wise drift]

Looks terrible from the Graphics

[hazy crypt]

Looks like a mobile game lmao

[wise drift]

Like all there old Games

StillAlive worst developer

[bright lake]

Honestly I think it doesn't look so bad. It's hard to grasp some things like the graphics of course, and at this point only 2 of the buses that should be in the game have been revealed.
The environment looks a lot more believable than Bus Sim 21, it actually looks like a proper Eastern US City

The graphics are the same as Bus Sim I'd say, but I'd give them a bit of credit personally, I think it's a tiny bit more polished than BS 21

[eternal dome]

which map?

[hardy granite]

Chicago Downtown

[eternal dome]

wait there was a section like that?

[hardy granite]

Yeah this is near Adler Planetarium

[low hearth]

preview of the bus' economy system

[hazy mesa]

intresting

[hardy granite]

An MAN NL202

[summer brook]

Anyone got some good settings for the bus?

In terms of gamma etc

old bowdenham

https://tenor.com/view/cat-explosion-sad-explode-gif-15295996165959499721

[terse heath]

the only good one

current v5 is pretty soulless compounding with lackluster of variety for buses

only my friends convert was good since it only needed a literal flip

[eternal dome]

how is that dlc?

Reviews didnt seem so good :p

[strong quiver]

It’s pre decent, FPS is stable and high, only had one tile/refresh schedule stutter

AI is a lil bit janky

some ignore cars exist, others ignore traffic lights exist

[hazy crypt]

oh so like irl

[wise drift]

Don’t buy any Kevin Nitschmann products it’s pure shit 💩
They reused all Spandau objects for Ruhrgebiet or NRW

[strong quiver]

Well a bit silly to say that after ive evidently purchased them

[wise drift]

Refund it

[strong quiver]

Bit late for that

Bought it ages ago

[eternal dome]

nice nice do you recommend the DLC? there is a sale going on rn so Im tempted to buy

[strong quiver]

Eh, it’s up to you really, people have much reservations about Kevins work,

Ive got a video of it in #1019986930265493605

[eternal dome]

Bruh I forgot that dlc existed

Only wish the poles moved too

G mod I know has a few good trolley addons but

The performance is so bad

Lol

[strong quiver]

somehow managed to not get low fps

[strong quiver]

VanStool @hazy mesa

[hazy mesa]

Why does it have a LED Matrix

lol

[strong quiver]

2025 retrofit

[hazy mesa]

That's how it should be 😭

[cursive spruce]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSVKhPHtCjQ

first proper japanese OMSI 2 DLC, nice!

[bright lake]

Buses look to be real companies, pretty unusual to get a licence for a game in Japan

[cursive spruce]

theres even jr west logos on the stations

[eternal dome]

I'd be concerned if there were JR West logos at stations 😅

[low hearth]

https://sabr.gg/BusBoundSteam

bus bound have launched a demo

[sly warren]

are you bound to the bus

[eternal dome]

why is demo 41gb

thats crazy

[low hearth]

i downloaded it

the graphics are uh

quite poor at ultra

hm so they American specced the ADL buses

aand lost the license

vicinity is in though

um

i think this game defo needs a huge improvement on the graphics side because no way this should be final graphics (thank god this is a demo)
bus physics i cant comment on because i was on keyboard
sounds i cant comment on either because im not usually pro on that, specifically with american buses
map design is pretty decent although i feel like bus stops are randomly dotted apart

[wise drift]

Still Alive was always a poor Bus game

[eternal dome]

Im downloading rn but Ive seen some vids on xcelsior in game and as a commuter who rides that bus model every single day yeah it needs a lot of improvements

[cursive spruce]

kajosoft is working on a new bus game

a “omsi 3”

https://kajosoft.com/en/simtra.html

but it has been a while since anything was posted so rip

[hazy crypt]

Dear god those wheels

[eternal dome]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/824626168429805578/1427536906866131014/4010830_20251013225102_1.png?ex=68ef38d8&is=68ede758&hm=282a7421c8dd4accbef5375ca2e9857b0ffa502f63638511bccdf0775e64260b&

it's okay

needs massive improvements imo

but it has potential

[topaz pagoda]

tbf I believe bus bound has great potential

the physics are not bad at all - not omsi like obv (the goat remains untouched imo)

I love the attention to detail in the city, sidewalks, it feels really lived in

the only thing I miss is the ability to get out of the bus

I know it's minor but I feel it adds so much to the immersion

the matrix display though uuuuuuuuggghhhh

[bright lake]

I've seen this years ago though pretty sure

[wise drift]

The Bus looks awful

[cursive spruce]

its literally a ported omsi model lol

what do u expect

[eternal dome]

The sounds and the behaviour of the bus in the pic (xcelsior) needs big improvements too, cant tell about other bus models though

[topaz pagoda]

yeah that I agree, didn't like it that much

preferred the first one in the list (the name of which I cannot remember)

[fresh pendant]

not even that
it just looks like AI rn but maybe it's just upscaled IDK

[glossy solar]

where's the single door E200 from? been seeing it in quite a few places now

[hazy crypt]

its unreleased iirc

[glossy solar]

thats what i thought but its popped up a lot recently, couldn't find a download link so might be testers or something

[devout orchid]

ye, boosters of a server got early access to it, but the download has since been temporarily removed for now

[glossy solar]

ah fair enough

can't imagine the full release being that far away then

[devout orchid]

E200 on the 35 was a bad idea, thats why its almost always double deckers in my AI list

[devout orchid]

replaced the MMC announcements at a few stops on the 35 with SCNE style ones, still yet to do the remaining stops

[sly warren]

nice

[devout orchid]

some more announcements, changed the 'next stop is' to sound more like irl

[devout orchid]

first run of 37308, on a very british morning with grey skies and slight fog

[red sapphire]

so OMSI 2 already has Ikarus models, but I was never happy with the Bucharest version, sooooooooooooooo I'm improving it :D
Cab separator placed, next step is new seats, and then the 52xx series, and ofc dynamic numbering

[red sapphire]

paths gud now

[red sapphire]

got it to work

[red sapphire]

door 1 can be sealed accurately now

doors are insanely slow now tho

also, does anyone here know how to remove door interlock? The first part of door 1 shouldn't have interlock, as it doesn't IRL.

[devout orchid]

the new GNE Voltra livery suits the 200EV's well

[red sapphire]

ayo @sly warren I started workin on this thing again

I miss the rain

[red sapphire]

[strong quiver]

Figured I'd dust off this old chestnut

[eternal dome]

good bus

[strong quiver]

https://www.vtransitcenter.com/bs2021/omsi-2-maps/omsi-2-cayuga i discovered this

a lot of routes

[devout orchid]

Renown on the 12

[terse heath]

set opacity/alpha mask to no more than 20%

[red sapphire]

i kinda tried to skip the roadworks by diverting my n68 via the 201 then the 3 then the 322

but ended up in crystal palace

[strong quiver]

you idiot

[sly warren]

shush

[hazy crypt]

dash and the shape of the windscreen

[sly warren]

i can assure you it isnt a dart

i was running so late i decided to convert into an x68

just realised my n68 blinds show normal 68

oh well

[low hearth]

as much as i hate fernbus, im interested to see how england is represented

[eternal dome]

just did a full shift on Omsi, and it was both fun and tired lmao

6 hours!

[tepid nimbus]

this game is so ass

[eternal dome]

lol why

[bright lake]

that's...The name it has IRL

[halcyon epoch]

And the game came out before all the brainrot

[low hearth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRctgjKxttU

[hazy crypt]

Had it been in beta all this time?

[hazy mesa]

Yeah

Well "early access"

[wet zodiac]

Apparently the next update will include weather updates

[devout orchid]

made my first custom route on Omsi

[devout orchid]

running majorly late due to traffic coming out of both Stoneley and Paignton

[shy heron]

How did you change the numbers on the display to be 309?

[shy heron]

Surprised ur AOL didn’t crash lol

My one is so unpredictable

[strong quiver]

it had a few refreshes but

got there in the end

[devout orchid]

its a custom route i made in the editor, it goes from Stoneley to Totnes via Ferncombe, Paignton, and Berry Pomeroy

roughly 45 mins end-end

basically mimics the existing 122, 12, and 35, but with differences, as it completely skips Thornford Regis, and goes via Totnes Castle instead of Eastern Gardens

[sly warren]

20 plate e400 my beloved

[strong quiver]

shuddup

it was an erroneous typo

[sly warren]

no

what an IDIOT

how the fuck did you make a typo to 20

the closest i can think of is 12

[strong quiver]

because i didnt remember what the license plate was from the flickr image

so sybau

[sly warren]

silly

what a pillock

[strong quiver]

whingy little man

[sly warren]

you know if you select the correct number the plate should automatically match 🤓

[devout orchid]

Tempted to reintroduce the X35, but extended to Ferncombe or Stoneley

[glossy solar]

i was thinking that, but might extend the 122 towards totnes castle instead all year as a 12A or something

[devout orchid]

I basically done that, but as a separate 309 route, and made the existing 122 all year with an increased 15 min frequency

Making the Stoneley to Princess Theatre section have a combined frequency of 7.5 mins, not including the existing 12

[glossy solar]

37630 on route learning, but broken down at memorial crescent

now also thinking of splitting the 100 loop into a 51 and 52, more HOF files the better i guess

[eternal dome]

back then Rheinhausen map used to work perfectly fine for me, but recently whenever I arrive at Hauptbahnhof stop the game freezes (but I can still hear the sounds, for example when I honk). Is anyone also experiencing the same?

The map is unplayable because of it lol

[strong quiver]

was gonna say i was mostly fine but it was actually Ahlheim hbf that i was at

Can you get it on PlayStation or phone?

another new route, the X1

[devout orchid]

quite a busy stretch of road now, with the X1, 12, 35, 100 and 309 heading down it

[near citrus]

does anyone have the cayuga pack for omsi 2

if u do send me a message

[devout orchid]

looks like my bus has spent 5 minutes in Sunderland

[red sapphire]

yo @sly warren a friend of mine made a mod to add hanover displays to the citaros from kajosoft (the display actually used in bucharest)

[sly warren]

nice

[sly warren]

if only there was one with powerblinds

and proper 2 door lundun

[devout orchid]

79001 on loan from Totnes depot to Middant depot for temporary use on the 35 due to fleet shortages, it is usually on the Totnes Loop 1A/B

and yes, its an eCity Gold in the Stagecoach Bloo livery

[devout orchid]

drove the Renown on the 309 from Totnes, and it could not handle the hill up to Totnes Castle, so had to make a large diversion, which ended up with me being 7 mins late for most of the journey, now attempting a drive heading the other direction

[devout orchid]

decided to take the bendy Citaro on the 24

[hazy mesa]

That‘s a bus that‘s really missing for The Bus 😩

Has anyone played the bus recently?

How is the recent update

[wet zodiac]

It’s decent but the Beta is very buggy at the moment

[devout orchid]

Stagecoach has lost the 12 to Arriva 💀

[limber monolith]

Are there no trolleybuses in these games?

[red sapphire]

there ARE trolleybuses in OMSI but they're not excellent

Roblox counts tho, right?

[shy heron]

With your custom route how did you get the passengers to board? I’m attempting a N100 that differs slightly from the 100 by going into memorial Crescent and has a tighter timetable and is not limited stop. Passengers simply do not spawn for my route and I don’t understand why. I’ve got it on the timetable and it works in game but no one spawns

[devout orchid]

and that exact same Xlines Streetdeck

[low hearth]

forgot fan fest was gonna include bus sim 27 💀

i was there for lego batman

so uhhh

solaris license
coaches (merc tourismo shown)

thats all 💀

[wet zodiac]

No article or anything?

[low hearth]

nope

just an updated website

got a few new pics

[wet zodiac]

Bruh

I wonder what there is to do with the coaches

Saw this on yt

Irizar

[low hearth]

theres a lions city coach too

theres an unannounced licensor too

[wet zodiac]

Ah nice

[low hearth]

either gonna be mellor or neoplan

[wet zodiac]

Hmmm well i want neoplan but let’s see

[low hearth]

or otokar, optare idk

[wet zodiac]

I suppose the couches are perhaps for som turist runs

The map must be quite big

[low hearth]

seems like the coaches are genuinely made for long distance runs

2 cities 20 districts

[wet zodiac]

Ah interesting

[limber monolith]

Astragon?

[hazy crypt]

If we get a Solo ima crease up

[red sapphire]

how can someone make a bus that drives this badly
this is the BMW equivalent of a bus

the turn singal stalk is a shitty two-step thing that you press a bit then it centres, as bad as a BMW, but if you smack it all the way, THEN it clicks properly

the bus stop thing takes longer to apply than on some old citelises here that have been using the same system with no maintenance since 2007

and then if you wanna leave a station, ha, get pranked bitch, hit the throttle twice instead of once

[red sapphire]

here I was tryna tune my hof files so they stop looking weird aaaaaand

[limber monolith]

Middle of nowhere

[red sapphire]

that's better

[red sapphire]

no, it's going to reddit

[red sapphire]

does anyone have a faster method for me to rewrite this .hof file so that it displays on the first line of the display, without errors/overflows as it does right now?

[red sapphire]

fictional repaint on the VDL Citea for Hochbahn Hamburg I made out of complete utter boredom

[red sapphire]

I should play bri'ish stuff again

maybe another day

[devout orchid]

no, i did not crash into the fence

[devout orchid]

slightly broken hof

economy mode released for the bus today

[low hearth]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96bca_PLDBQ

performance looks solid? although it looks like they had to tune down the graphics and AI traffic for that

still looks good

[red sapphire]

@sly warren 'taro time

[sly warren]

🗣️🗣️ 🔥🔥

[low hearth]

pretty solid start for that game tbf

[wet zodiac]

looks like that bus isnt the first modded vehicle

[green coyote]

It's the first 1 to 1 bus sim on console that isn't some fictional aero soft cinematic universe game, so I'm not surprised to see it doing well

[wet zodiac]

true😂

[low hearth]

i have found out that if you disable action camera, you get a boost in FPS

now i can finally play on epic settings again

[wet zodiac]

Thanks for that tip

been thinking of getting hamburg city DLC for the bus

is it good? for anyone that owns it

[red sapphire]

1636 having a broken display, on route 112

[wet zodiac]

I haven’t tried it but it’s really good quality. It came with line 6 and 17 i think? But later and it came with 7 and 277 too. Plus one of the lines are still an extension

[topaz pagoda]

I believe it’s a genuinely well made add on, lots of detail everywhere really

the driving may be a bit meh but that’s the game itself not the add on

compared to the hafencity dlc which introduced line 6 as well it’s night and day difference

if you get it while there’s a discount it’s great value for money, the only grasp I have with it is that originally they only released line 6 and part of line 17 (which shared most of the stops)

they then added line 7 and 277 iirc and are finishing line 17

[devout orchid]

doing the full 100 in a 200MMC

started in Lincoln, now at Gainsborough

[cursive spruce]

Does anyone here have that weird freeze when spawning a bus in Numazu?

[cursive spruce]

Wtf

Trolleybus physics on omsi?

Since when

[red sapphire]

yea

not very good, my poles kept falling off going 50km/h

but better than none

the solaris trollino by IWO (included in his urbino pack), and the map is Projekt Lublin

Sczezin I believe has them too

and solonceni but I can't get that to load properly

[low hearth]

oh my goddd (im very late, like a year late)

for The Bus

E500MMC is very good

2 new routes for berlin aswell

[somber hill]

Do you know about the Hamburg DLC out, The new economy mode or the NYC DLC Rivet is making?

[low hearth]

yeah i know all about those

i just didnt know about the 3 bus DLCs

[somber hill]

I Mean, the buses were kinda said before all the others . Then again, You DO a LOT of extra work across communities.

[strong quiver]

hows the performance, seen negative reviews cause of it

[cursive spruce]

for me its good

and they recently released a update that improves performance

[strong quiver]

nice nice, might get it in sale in summer then

[low hearth]

https://youtu.be/nb2RMb2XB4c

map looks really good for this bus sim iteration

[red sapphire]

Citaroland Hamburg

[lone monolith]

Been thinking of getting the bus, probably for xbox although i do have a pc (i don’t think it’d run it very well) has anyone here played it on console, if so is it any good?

Or even on pc I’m guessing there’s not much difference except modding and graphics

[red sapphire]

[unborn rapids]

Me guys

Im gonna get City transport sim 2026

[red sapphire]

OI @sly warren I'M CITARO-ING AGAIN

[twilit stone]

those are some very not polish license plates

[limber monolith]

boooooooooooooooooooos

[red sapphire]

because it's a romanian trolleybus

[red sapphire]

not the same guy, but look, same model! :D

[twilit stone]

romanian trolleybus in Lublin :oo

[red sapphire]

hell yea, only village to ever have trolleybuses

[red sapphire]

yes

[limber monolith]

nice boos

[red sapphire]

Cheers

[limber monolith]

np

[red sapphire]

shame most of them are gone

we used to have 200 of em in Bucharest, split in 2 series (windows differ)

[red sapphire]

and remaining Ikarus 415T's in total? 34. Mostly in the south of Bucharest. Plus 10 that are sitting around broken in depots.

last capital in europe to use high floor non-trams/non-trains lol

[red sapphire]

restarted work on my bucharest Citaro C2 hybrid

@sly warren

almost complete, just gotta get some help from a friend with fixing the fact that the windows get fucked up and don't actually open

the display is correct, the cab is separated, small display on the back

only issue now is the windows acting up

[sly warren]

citarooooooo

🔥🔥

[sly warren]

epic

[red sapphire]

yesyes

citaro

cool-taro even

[sly warren]

Wwwwww

[red sapphire]

we are
almost done

[low hearth]

the ebusco is coming first it seems

[cinder igloo]

Ebusco before C2😭

[low hearth]

its funny how C2 isnt planned at all either

i was kinda expecting it but the E500MMC and new lions city got ahead

[green coyote]

Are these going to be paid DLC

[wet zodiac]

Yes

[cinder igloo]

Yeah just makes no sense really

[cinder igloo]

Does BVG even run NLC?

[low hearth]

nah but i think they want it for economy mode

[cinder igloo]

Ah

Yeah don't think that makes much sense tbh

Making a bus that's not used in Berlin for economy instead of the C2 that's desperately missing from Berlin

[wet zodiac]

They do though. All though perhaps not so common maybe?

[low hearth]

oh wth

i never knew

fair enough then

i was prolly looking for one image of it but never seen anything

[past cedar]

https://www.berliner-linienchronik.de/gesamtbestand.html

That's a list of all the buses. The MAN can be found at the subcontractors

[low hearth]

citaro 2?????

oh my god and enviro 400

london DLC (route 2 and 196) also in the works, together with halycon and RM developments (which is also why the E400MMC is now in dev)

small sneak peek of it (stockwell bus garage)

[strong quiver]

Totally didnt know that was happening

[low hearth]

i knew some sort of london map is coming

but not with halycon onboard

[devout orchid]

do i spy a RHD ECitaro

[low hearth]

ye temporary tho

until the E400MMC comes in

[red sapphire]

@sly warren

[turbid owl]

just going to drop random omsi 2 pictures

[red sapphire]

fictional reskin time :3

[red sapphire]

shame the Citea in OMSI has the wrong type of dashboard for Buzau and Buftea (and Finland for that matter). Would've been a nice reskin.

[devout orchid]

gotta love massive delays, 3 309's back to back

[devout orchid]

ended up arriving 60 mins late, but already 65 mins late on the return

[turbid owl]

the longest i have been late in OMSI was an hour thanks to traffic jams on Spandau Modern M&Z. It was just stop and go traffic on a 2 lane road towards Spandau. It really tested my patience

[sly warren]

i would sit in traffic in omsi but omsi london gets gridlocked easily

[eternal dome]

yorkshire counties too at roundbouts

[strong quiver]

we dont mention that map

[low hearth]

https://youtu.be/8G_WNXk7z94?si=NJqkIXELshwDewmA

genuinely forgot that its a thing

i remember really early shots of it

[red sapphire]

@sly warren new reskin for the citaro that I'm workin on as part of a pack

[sly warren]

epic

[wild pier]

Anyone played Bus Bound yet?

[somber hill]

I Have. a LOOOOT!

[wild pier]

lol is it good?

[somber hill]

Ive been having a blast. Its discord is pretty busy right now.

But, Im biased as im a playtester lol

[low hearth]

oh shit

has it changed since the demo? like graphically?

i can remember the demo being quite crap with its view distance

[red sapphire]

time for some non-Bucharest action

[somber hill]

That was a demo build. Playable even on my potato of a PC. Optimization has been a thing since the demo. The full build struggles on my PC so I put my settings on low.

[somber hill]

I can now freely say with the release of Bus Bound (and its Mod Kit!), im working on a few things for the game. Two livery mods to start Introducing "XBay Emberville" for myself naturally, and for the masses, The Emberville Transit Authority. Both logos, and a partial screenshot of WiP of the ETA livery mod!

[red sapphire]

I have begun working on my first ever map, a fictional representation of my hometown, for OMSI. This bus is a fictional reskin, though. This part of the map may or may not end up being used.

[wild pier]

Just started with Bus Bound, for some reason the games settings for my wheel were completely wrong so I had to change a lot of settings but it's good now

[somber hill]

What Ive Been working on with the Bus Bound mod kit. A set of liveries to start. So many i need to finish.

[devout orchid]

A21 on the 309

[turbid owl]

Makes me wonder if MAN has made a RHD of the current Lion City model yet

[red sapphire]

RHD? Yes
British? Nah m8

[wet zodiac]

Wtf

[turbid owl]

ahh, yess, Singapore

ADL E500EV is in there now

[red sapphire]

decided to... Romanianize an eCitaro from Hamburg. AKA: what'd happen if I introduced "Titular" drivers (driver basically has full control and repsonsibility over the vehicle, as if it were their own, and they're the main person to use it) to Germany

[cloud mist]

made me laugh

[turbid owl]

i never understood why that train is always on that line

[strong quiver]

Comes with the base game so I suppose saves the dev time from doing their own tram and less requisites

[low hearth]

a clue for the next the bus DLC

well known german city with iconic landmarks and an interesting bus network

can already say this is lubeck indeed

[wet zodiac]

LÜBEEEECK

[wet zodiac]

Oh shit is it for The Bus???

That makes me even more hyped as Ive been there and tried the buses out

[wet zodiac]

I wonder what liveries the buses will get. Because when i was there almost all of the buses where filled with commercials

Shit the MAN doesn’t count

Its a regional bus

Some photos from google

[low hearth]

im guessing we'll just get the eCitaro for now

then C2 diesel once it drops

oh and the lions city + LE (if the LE runs there)

[wet zodiac]

Yeah most likely

[low hearth]

official announcement was yesterday

At launch, the DLC will initially include Lines 30 and 40. Both routes begin at the Central Bus Station next to the main railway station before heading towards Travemünde along different paths.

[wet zodiac]

Definitely hyped

[low hearth]

https://trello.com/b/Fav8tdYp/the-bus-roadmap

they have updated the trello

[topaz pagoda]

really looking forward to the gearbox overhaul

it's my only gripe with the game atm

electric busses drive well

[low hearth]

AI trams teased 👀

[wild pier]

Strange looking bus

The Tram™ coming soon

[slim marlin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbA9uI8-KWU

[low hearth]

wow finally

they have sound recordings of real things

[devout orchid]

Bendy Bus on a motorway, what could go wrong

[turbid owl]

car merge in front and slams on brakes

[low hearth]

doesn't look too bad tbf

[wild pier]

interesting

far too sunny for Birmingham tho

i'm not familiar with this game are the maps 1:1?

[strong quiver]

no

1:10

needless to say i dont think we'd ever get a 1:1 coach game

would have to be solely in a certain country or area

[wild pier]

I was gonna say if they're doing 18 cities in one DLC then yeah

is the game any good?

[strong quiver]

i think it has come some way
