Open OMSI 2

You are all in then Vern nice one. I only bought UK DLC for it and ran some UK mods, maps and buses.

Stick it to DTG Vern, it is their own fault for being so slap dash and greedy.

Well seems to be all over the place now with updates plus the option of a beta path (no thank you). I got slightly better FPS yesterday evening after switching to DX11 and might try dropping to 1440p, but that shouldn’t really be necessary on a game running this old content.

Agree Vern you should be able to run it with all settings close to maxed out.

Well the latest version has a new optimiser feature which supposedly examines your hardware and makes adjustments. First pass it got up from 9 FPS to 17 which is better but still not ideal.

Minimum is 30fps to be playable i would say Vern. I didn't have problems graphically, it was the controls not doing what they were supposed to do.

New freeware Paris route...

Paris 25 - OMSI WebDisk & Community

Not tried it yet but downloading to have a go later.

Edit: Looks nice but very short. Also had issues with AI buses just sitting there not moving, though that could be an openOMSI thing. Worth a look for free, though.

I am back on the OpenOMSI game, i just love buses too much not to try and use it.

Thanks for the heads up on Paris, not sure i fancy driving there at the moment 😉.

Excellent, sorted mouse for steering only and not used for go\stop. Did one run on the shorter of the two base routes. Ran over a few passengers, which was normal for me real world 🤣.
Definitely a keeper, need to sort the severity of the S key for stopping though. Just a touch stands the bus on it's nose.

Glad you’re enjoying it Mike. I’m persevering with the joypad - which is much better than the standard OMSI - as my neuropathy doesn’t get on with constantly holding the mouse.

Even better than that Vern, i downloaded the West Country map and did a free run from one end to the other. First time in a very long time when playing a game, i was smiling from start to finish. Even forgot to change the bus, so i was driving a German decker but it was still extremely enjoyable. I had to look that up mate, sounds very painful and understandable that mouse steering is not a good option for you.

Leyland Fleetliner, return trip Stoneley - Paignton - Totnes. This thing is just as gutless as the old VRT's i used to drive, very realistic.

Where did you get that from Mike? Definitely looks fun to drive for a full shift on Lincolnshire.

Hi Vern, scroll down to UK Buses section. First three buses, it's on the right.

I just downloaded Lincolnshire and Gainsborough Phase 3 from there.

Free ride on Yorkshire 3 map, really lovely. Bus has lovely sounds and is really nice to drive. Mind i am the only Hampshire Bus on the map, remembering old times. 😁.
