Apologies for the delay for this report, I migrated over to linux and this took me some time to get everything set up again.
Bus Company SimulatorFinancially we got a huge boost, problably due to the BCS event taking place over the holidays and perhaps people also had more time.
Our company rating did also go over 70% but has dropped again by now

We have decided to move our VTC over from TrucksBook to Trucky Hub.
There's one big reason for the move - it's the first VTC client to support all platforms: Windows, Mac & Linux (for linux it wants you to run ETS 2/ATS through proton). They have also gotten ridden of their Overwolf requirments which used to be annoying thin in the past.
Feature wise it also doesn't seem to be lacking compared to TrucksBook nor the other one we tried last year. Quite opposite actually, seems to have more (free) features. It even also has the full realistic economy simulation if we want (like BCS is for OMSI), ...
On behalf of the GO Group Virtual team, we wish everybody Happy holidays for the Christmas and coming new year! Take the time to enjoy with your families, do not worry about the company!

As voted in our community, the newest map in the company is Sobol's first released map: Gorzów Wielkopolski - currently it's a small Polish map, with 2 lines (one of them only runs on the weekend), but it does look quite nice and you don't need any extra dependencies to run it.
Welcome to Gorzów! The provincial city of Lubuskie, the seat of the Lubuskie Voivode and one of the largest cities located on Ostbahno. There are 2 lines 119 and T4 in version 1.00. In total, there are about 12.5 km of roads. The map has a large number of dedicated facilities, it also has dedicated AI trains and trams...
I've added the new hidden bus from the MAN NLC DLC into the company, short 10C 2-door version. It's the first bus from that DLC in our company that uses ZF gearbox. Like always repaint you can find from the fleet page.
Similarly to 21C it requires extra steps to be enabled, instructions on fleet page also, if you have issues, poke GameBurrow on Discord.
I've also added a poll on Discord if we should replace the other ones with ZF version also.
It's time for the November 2024 for report. It once again was a quieter month.
Bus Company SimulatorWe did lose money compared to October, our rating has dropped. We did have to remove 3 unused maps also.

Due to no usage, the following maps have been removed from the company:
I've uploaded V3.1 of the MAN New Lion's City repaint. I found out that the 21C repaint was quite broken (DLC author had made breaking changes). Had to also configure the rear doors to be outside sliding doors (inside swing doors, default ones was broken for the last door).
I've updated the repaint for the MAN New Lion's City buses to include the new setvar options from the latest update. I kept the regular mirrors for now instead of digital mirrors since there seemed to be a bug that if I enabled digital mirrors, left regular mirror also stuck around.
