I have had the bus since it was first released, with only one line and it didn't have much playbility. I hadn't played for a while, but with the updates i have replayed it. and what a difference . This game has improved a lot and if TML keep developing it, in line with their road map, this will become the best bus sim on the market. the AI traffic is a lot better than fernbus and it seems to work (not getting jammed up like Fern bus). The city does have a lived in feel with litter on the pavements. The passenger movement and modelling is ok, but it would be better if they could have a model for different types of weather. as people standing in the in April with just vest top and shorts looks a little silly. They have allowed mod support for this game and there are already mods on the workshop which i am keen to try out.
I really like this and hope that keeps improving, if you like the idea of driving buses then i would really recommend this game . They are adding more lines and i hope they will start to add more cities as well.

This is my first game review .
I wasn't sure if i should buy this are not , as some reviewers were saying that it doesn't run well on their computers.
My computer has:
i5 2.9ghz
8gb ram
Gtx 1660 ti 6gb graphics card

The game runs fairly smoothly on max settings, very little frame drops in the cities but apart from that there doesn't seem anything else noticeable on frame rates in the countryside.
I bought the platinum edition and was impressed enough to buy the nederlands expansion after one trip.

I have only done a couple of runs ,but the cities are well done and have landmarks which look real. I took a trip to Amsterdam (which i have visited in real life) And i have to say that the detail around Centraal Station was impressive only let down by the fact that there were no trams going about,Nor any tram tracks.

If you played and liked Omsi 2 you will like this, The roads system is large with maps expansions availiable (like nederlands,France,Switzerland) The world does feel quite busy with road traffic but there are no pedestrians going about there business in the cities.

On the question of the Ai traffic On the autobahns i haven't come across any problems so far in the towns it was a different matter ,When the game first loaded in i could get out off the depot due to all the cars queuing, But after going into the settings menu i found that you can turn down the traffic density . I turned this down to 50 from a 100 and that made a huge difference ,It was easy to move about and the traffic coped well in the cities.

The Graphics are decent, Not outstanding ,as they sometimes look a bit washed out ,I fixed this by turning down the gamma in the settings which helped.

All in all this is a very good bus/coach simulator that i would recommend to players of omsi or anyone with a passing interest in buses

cant play it. i just get a black screen. just a waste of money and i cant recomend it because of this problem
